Hedwig - Wig In A Box Ukulele

A / C#m / F#m / Gmaj7

D


[Verse]

A            C#m                
On nights like this
F#m7     Gmaj7          D
When the world's a bit amiss
        E
And the lights go down
 A                 E   E7
Across the trailer park
A
I get down
C#m
I feel had
F#m7          Gmaj7          D
I feel on the verge of going mad
    E                           A
And then it's time to punch the clock


[Chorus]

A             E
I put on some make-up
F#m             C#m
And turn up the tape deck
D            A              E        F#7
And pull the wig down on my head
Bm          E
Suddenly I'm miss Midwest
A        C#m   Gmaj7
midnight checkout queen
A       D
Until I head home
    E             A       G      D
And put myself to bed


[Verse]

A          C#m
I look back on where I'm from
F#m7        G          D
Look at the woman I've become
        E
And the strangest things
    A            E
Seem suddenly routine
A                 C#m
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
F#m            G                D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
   E             A
Of towering velveteen


[Chorus]

A             E
I put on some make-up
F#m             C#m
And some Lavern baker
D            A                 E      F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Bm           E            A        C#m  Gmaj7
Suddenly I'm miss beehive nineteen sixty-three
A       D
Until I wake up
    E            A          G     D
And turn back to myself


[Verse]

A                     C#m
Some girls they got a natural ease
F#m          Gmaj7        D
They wear it any way they please
           E
With their French flip curls
    A            E
And perfumed magazines
A
Wear it up
C#m
Let it down
F#m         Gmaj7              D
This is the best way that I've found
          E                A
To be the best you've ever seen


[Chorus]

A             E
I put on some make-up
F#m             C#m
And turn up the eight-track
D               A                 E      F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm           E           A
Suddenly I'm miss Farrah Fawcett
C#m  Gmaj7
From TV
A       D
Until I wake up
    E              A
And turn back to myself


[Bridge]

D
Shag, bi-level, bob
C
Dorothy Hamill do,
D
Sausage curls, chicken wings
     C
It's all because of you
          D
With your blow dried, feather back,
C
Toni home wave, too
D
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
     C
It's all because of you
     Bb
It's all because of you
     A7                     G
It's all because of you


[Chorus]

A             E
I put on some make-up
F#m         C#m
turn up the eight-track
    D           A                 E       F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Bm          E               A
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
   C#m    Gmaj7
Of stage and screen
A           D
And I ain't never
    E             A
I'm never turning back
