Clutching a ten dollar bill in my hand
Em
G
Em
Sir John A's face getting
G
Em
wrinkled and damp
Dm
I went down to the mall on Saturday
Am
After cartoons
Verse 2
Am
I made straight for the tape store
Em
G
Em
I knew exactly what to look for
Dm
I skipped the candy shop
And the clown with the animal balloons
Am
Verse 3
I saw it on the rack with
the other new tapes
Em
G
That baby face with the gap-
Em
tooth gape
Dm
And I grabbed one quick
Like a pervert in a video store
Am
Verse 4
I guess I was shy, it was my first time
Em
G
So I joined the girls with the
curled bangs in line
Dm
And when I got back home
Am
Em
I discovered what my ears were for
Verse 5
F
That was my first day in the
G
world of pop music
C
Where the sound of a drum or
F
the strum of an acoustic
Could pop it all open like
G
C
a blister in the sun
F
A world where Johnny played
G
guitar and Jenny played bass
C
F
And they started a band just to see their face
G
In a magazine, 'cause what else is there to do for fun
Am
?

Verse 6
Am
A few years later, drawing logos of bands
Em
G
On backpacks and binders
Em
and the backs of my hands
Dm
And writing out lyrics
Am
With the help of rewind, pause and play
Verse 7
Am
Math class flashed past in a blur of zeros
Em
G
Em
Daydreaming about all those
musical heroes
Dm
Who never needed numbers
To say what they had to say
Am
Verse 8
Meanwhile, I developed an unholy affection
Em
G
For the older girls in the smoking section
Dm
With the boots and the buckles
And the pins and the circle a shirts
Am
Verse 9
Their music was rough but
strangely enough
Em
G
Turned out I liked getting angry
and shouting about stuff
Em
Dm
I knew the message
was meaningful
Am
Though I didn't understand
Em
a word
Verse 10
F
And so I discovered an
G
other world of music
C
Where the kids are alright,
F
just like The Who said
G
You count to four and then play the one
C
or two chords you sort of know
F
Where "hey ho,
G
let's go" is a legitimate chorus
C
And you can search the stacks
F
and thumb the thesaurus
G
But there's no synonym for rock and roll

Verse 11
Am
Back at that young and impressionable age

I never dreamed some day I'd

But now that I'm here
I guess I have to think
Em
of something to say
Am
Verse 12
Dm
So to all the young girls and
Em
young guys out there
G
Am
Em
Dm
Experimenting with drugs,

experimenting with hair

Press record on your four track

Or whatever kids are using these days
Verse 13
F
G
It's life or death, but it's also just music

It chooses you,
F
you don't get to choose it
But once you're hooked,
G
C
you're hooked like a rug or a John
F
So hats off to Ivan and all
G
the rest of you bands

Thanks for giving us so many

good reasons to dance
Thanks for giving us so many
G
good reasons to sing along
