[Dm7] And I've run out of pale [G/D]ale, [Dm7] and I feel like I'm in [G/D]jail,
[Dm7] And my music bores [G/D]me once a - g[Dm7]ain, |[D7sus4] / / / [D7]/ |
[Gm7] And I've been on the pi[Bbm]nball, [F] and I no longer k[G]now it all,
And they [Bb6]say that you never k[A7]now when you're in - [Dm7]sane!
[Dm7] Got fleas in the bed - [G/D]room, [Dm7] got flies in the bath - [G/D]room,
[Dm7] And the cat just fin - i[G/D]shed off the [Dm7]bread, |[D7sus4] / / / [D7]/ |
[Gm7] So I walk over [Bbm]Soho, [F] and I read about Mo[G]nroe,
And I [Bb6]wonder was she re[A7]ally what they s[Dm7]aid! [G/D] | [Dm7] / / / [G/D] / |
[Dm7] Got a call from a good f[G/D]riend, '[Dm7]Come on down for the week - [G/D]end!'
[Dm7] Didn't know if I c[G/D]ould spare the [Dm7]time, |[D7sus4] / / / [D7]/ |
[Gm7] I knew a woman who was c[Bbm]razy... [F] about a boy who was l[G]azy,
But it d[Bb6]idn't work out, 'cause they j[A7]ust couldn't make it r[Dm7]hyme![G/D] [Dm7]Mmmm--[G/D]--! Hup!
[Dm7] Hey, Jude, you were al[G/D]right, [Dm7] I could have grooved with you [G/D]all night,
[Dm7] But you turned your [G/D]back on the party [Dm7]game, yeah, |[D7sus4] / / / [D7]/ |
[Gm7] Mamma, if I keep my [Bbm]head clean, [F] will I really have a g[G]ood dream,
Or [Bb6]will I wake up in con - fu[A7]sion just the s[Dm7]ame? [G/D] | [Dm7] / / / [G/D] / |

[Dm7] And I've run out of pale [G/D]ale---,[Dm7]
(And I've been on the pinball!)
[Dm7] And I feel like I'm in j[G/D]ail---,[Dm7]
(And I no longer know it all!)
[Dm7] Got fleas in the bed - [G/D]room---,[Dm7]
(So I walk over Soho!)
[Dm7] Got flies in the bath - r[G/D]oom---,[Dm7]
(And I read about Monroe!)
[Dm7] Got a call from a [G/D]good friend---,[Dm7]
(Knew a woman who was crazy...)
[Dm7] 'Come on down for the we[G/D]ekend---!'[Dm7]
(...about a boy who was lazy!)
[Dm7] Hey, Jude, you were a[G/D]lright![Dm7]
(Mamma, if I keep my head clean...)
[Dm7] I could have grooved with you [G/D]all night![Dm7]
(...will I really have a good dream?)
[Dm7] And I've been on the [G/D]pale ale,[Dm7]
(And I've been on the pale ale!)
[Dm7] And I feel like a p[G/D]inball,[Dm7]
(And I feel like a pinball!)
[G/D] And I feel like a pi[Dm7]nball, [G/D]
[Dm7] [G/D] And I feel like a pi[Dm7]nball![G/D] [Dm]
