The Wizard Of Menlo Park Chords

(ver. 1)
Chumbawamba
[Spoken Word]
N.C.
Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go
 
[Riff]
C# G# F# F#
C# G# F# F#
 
[Instrumental]
C# G# F# F#
 
[Chorus]
C#
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
G#
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
F#
See them all come with their wires and booms
          F#
And their itchy little thumbs saying: "Play your funky drum!"
 
[Riff]
C# G# F# F#
 
[Post-Chorus 1]
C#                  G#
   Each jump in the dark
                F#
We claim as our own
               F#
We know it's a lie,
                C#
We never acted alone
                 G#
Each jump in the dark
F#                  F#
   Each jump in the dark
 
[Verse 1]
    C#
The machine became the star, beats to the bar
G#
Poor Gus Dudgeon lying in his car
F#
Down in the basement messing with the moment
F#
Alchemy and elements, smashing up your instruments
 
[Chorus]
C#
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
G#
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
F#
See them all come with their wires and booms
          F#
And their itchy little thumbs saying: "Play your funky drum!"
 
[Riff]
C# G# F# F#
 
[Post-Chorus 2]
C#               G#
   A foot in the past
            F#
A head in a book
           F#
A soup of opinion
           C#
A ladle of luck
                 G#
Each jump in the dark
F#                  F#
   Each jump in the dark
 
[Instrumental]
C# G# F# F#
 
[Chorus]
C#
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
G#
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
F#
See them all come with their wires and booms
          F#
And their itchy little thumbs saying: "Play your funky drum!"
N.C.
(Funky drum, funky drum, funky drum, funky drum ...)
 
[Verse 2]
     C#
From starlight to flashlight, sorting out the copyright
   G#
It takes a little time but the contract's airtight
F#
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
    F#
The money's in the black, but the needle's in the red
C#
One, two, one, two, check
G#                               F#
Wednesday, Wednesday, Mississippi,
                F#
T-t-t-, y-y-y-y-yeah yeah yeah, check check, mhh
 
[Chorus]
C#
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
