VERSE:
Bm                      A          G        Em
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
Bm                      A          G        Em
This supermarket life is getting long
Bm                      A       G        Em
What is the heart life of a colour TV
Bm                      A               G        Em  C
What is the shelf life of a teenage queen

D   Dsus2  D G
Ooh Western woman
D   Dsus2  D G
Ooh Western girl

Bm
New hounds sniff the air
             A           G              Em
When Jessica Hahn goes down
Bm                                        A  G  Em
He latches onto that symbol of detachment
Bm             A      G                 Em
attracted by the peeling away of feeling
Bm                A     G                         Em  C
The celebrity of the abused shell the belle

D     Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
D    Dsus2  D   G
Ooh Western girl

D    Dsus2  D G
Ooh Western woman
D    Dsus2  D   G
Ooh Western girl

D
And the children of Melrose
D  Dsus2
Strut their stuff
  G
Is absolute zero cold enough
D                       Dsus2  D
And out in the valley warm and clean
   G
The little ones sit by their TV screens
D               Dsus2  D
No thoughts to think
G
No tears to cry
G     A    Bm
All sucked dry
                A         G
Down to the very last breath
Em                  A
Bartender what is wrong with me?
Em                     A
Why am I so out of breath?
Em                  A
The captain said excuse me ma'am
Em                    A
This species has amused itself to death

(intro notes comes in full force)

D        Dsus2  D   G
Amused itself to death
D        Dsus2  D   G
Amused itself to death
D               Dsus2    D       G
We watched the tragedy unfold

We did as we were told
        D
We bought and sold
               Dsus2   D      G
It was the greatest show on earth

But then it was over
D
we ohhed and aahed
                 Dsus2   D
we drove our racing cars
G
We ate our last few jars of cavier
D
And somewhere out there in the stars
    Dsus2       D
A keen-eyed look-out
G
Spied a flickering light
             D
Our last hurrah
             G
Our last hurrah

Em                                A
And when they found our shadows
Em                          A
Grouped around the TV sets
Em                      A
They ran down every lead
Em                      A
They repeated every test
Bm                                  G
They checked out all the data on their lists
          Bm
And then the alien anthropologists
G                     Em             < before playing Em hit 2nd fret on low E
Admitted they were still perplexed
D
But on eliminating every other reason
Dsus2  D   G
For our sad demise
D                      Dsus2  D    G
They logged the explanation left
G                        Bm
This species has amused itself to death

Bm   A   G   Em        <  Step from G to Em with the F# note here as well.
Bm   A   G   Em
repeat and fade
