Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON

Just looked at this again (26/10/97) and listened to the bass in the

chorus which has given me a way of playing this little rocker. 

You can put an Asus4 x0223x in the verses as an embellishment to keep

the rhythm. The D in the intro etc is like an Asus4 if you avoiding 

hitting the top string. Sorta grungy. 

 

Intro:  E  A  D A      E  A  D A     E  A   D 

 

A                                                              Asus4

I've been drinking strychnine  and I've dined on plastic combs

A                                                          Asus4

Celebrities removed my teeth and made me clean their homes

D                                               Dsus4

I've seen operations that would chill you to the bones

A                                                          Asus4

I've been charged with homicide for killing garden gnomes

 

Lethal spirochaetes of poison rifle through my blood

Little bombs of toxin are exploding in my gut

A girl without an umbrella relaxes in the rain

She smiled and then she broke my legs I'll never walk again

 

CHORUS (power chords for F# and F, the bass dominates)

         A (577655)      G (355433)   F#              F

I gotta get over it and move on      Get over it and move on

I gotta get over it and move on      Get over it and move on

 

E  A   D   A      E        A    D    A

            move on  move on 

 

The police hauled me downtown the barber shaved me bald

I woke up in a cardboard box wet and freezing cold

The hound dogs ate my leftovers and my penicillin mould

Now I keep my mouth shut and do just what I'm told

 

CHORUS

 

Authorities removed my carpets and repossessed my bed

Then the milkman stripped my roof of every ounce of lead

The pop machine has new agendas now Gangsta's girls and jerks

They call it entertainment. That's the way it works
