Version 1 Version 2 Version 4All right, I have tried to find out the chords to I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats. I do not claim these are the right ones, but they come pretty close. The only thing is that in the original song, it seems that all is tuned 3/4 notes lower, but I've searched for not-too-difficult-to-play chords. I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS - THE BOOMTOWN RATS ---------------------------------------- [Verse 1] C Em The silicon chip inside her head F G Gets switched to overload C Em And nobody's gonna go to school today, F G She's gonna make them stay at home, Am G And daddy doesn't understand it, C F He always said she was good as gold, F And he can see no reasons F Cos there are no reasons F G What reason do you need to be shown [Hook] C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays, F G Tell me why I don't like Mondays, C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays, F G I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot N.C. C The whole day down. [Verse 2] C Em The Telex machine is kept so clean F G And it types to a waiting world, C And Mother feels so shocked Em Father's world is rocked, F And their thoughts turn to G Their own little girl. Am G Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen, C F No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat, F They can see no reasons F Cos there are no reasons F G What reasons do you need [Hook] C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays F G Tell me why I don't like Mondays C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays F G I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot N.C. Am F The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down... [Verse 3] C Em And all the playing's stopped in the playground now F G She wants to play with her toys a while, C Em And school's out early and soon we'll be learning F G And the lesson today is how to die. Am And then the bullhorn crackles, G And the captain tackles, C F With the problems and the hows and whys F And he can see no reasons F Cos there are no reasons F G what reason do you need to die [Hook] C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays F G Tell me why I don't like Mondays C Em Tell me why I don't like Mondays F G I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot N.C. C The whole day down. Since the original is played on piano, chances are that you won't like it as much on guitar, but I think it sounds reasonably well.
