Verse:
Ebdim7     Gm
An adverb is a word
                    Gdim7
(That's all it is! and there's a lot of them)
        Fm
That modifies a verb

(Sometimes a verb and sometimes)
Ab       Eb          Abmaj7
It modifies an adjective, or else another adverb
      Dm7            G7sus4   G7
And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary

  Eb
Suppose your house needs painting.
Fm             Bb
How are you going to paint it?
         Eb
That's where the adverb comes in.
Fm     Bb          Eb
We can also give you a special intensifier
          Fm     Bb       Eb
so you can paint it very neatly or rather sloppily
  Fm            Bb

Your buddy wants to know where and when.

Use it with an adjective, it says much more
Bb             F
Anything described can be described some more
Ab             Eb
Anything you'd ever need is in the store
      G      Fadd9        G7sus2
And so you choose very carefully every word you use

Verse:
C                G
Use it with a verb, it tells us how you did
Bb                   F
Where it happened, where you're going, where you've been
Ab             Eb
Use it with another adverb, that's the end

How, where, or when

* Spoken over chorus
If it's an adverb, we have it at Lolly's! Bring along your old adjectives,
too - like slow, soft, and sure. We'll fit 'em out with our L-Y attachment
and make perfectly good adverbs out of them!
