You're No Rock N' Roll Fun Chords

(ver. 1)
Sleater-Kinney

Straight forward rock tune. Writing this out I wrote the first chorus
tabbing out what is actually played. The second chorus I wrote the chords
because its easier to play if your singing along.

Verse:
C#        F#           C#
You're no rock n' roll fun
       F#           C#
like a party that's over
  F#          C#
before it's begun

C#        F#           C#
You're no walk in the park
            F#          C#
more like a shot in the dark
     F#             C#
with clues left for no one

           Riff 1
And all the boys in the band

know how to get down
Riff 1
fill our Christmas socks

with whiskey drinks

and chocolate bars
   Riff 1
and when the evening ends we won't

be thinking of you then
Riff 1
Although the best man
                            Riff 2
won't hang out with the girl band!
Riff 2
the girl band!

Verse:

C#        F#          C#
You're no rock n' roll fun
       F#      C#
like a piece of art
     F#        C#
that no one can touch
C#                  F#        C#
Your head is always up in the clouds
F#           C#
writing your songs
          F#        C#
won't you ever come down?

Chorus:
            B           C#
And all the boys in the band
B           C#
know how to get down
B                  C#
fill our Christmas socks
     B
with whiskey drinks
    C#
and chocolate bars
    B                C#    
and when the evening ends 
    B                C#
we won't be thinking of you then
B            C#
Even if your song
   B              C# Riff 2
is playing on the jukebox
      Riff 2
the jukebox

You wanna party with the lights on
Come on I like it dark!
You always wanna hear the same old song
Come on play another song!

You're no walk in the park
