   Am               Am/G
When he was young he sang in the band

      F                            E
and his fans all fans all looked the same

      Am                Am/G
And the fans he had were younger than he

       F                   E
and they loved to scream his name

     C                      G#         C                      G#
They'd leave at the end of the third show, go home to talk of the fun

   Am                 Am/G
Well isn't it nice the parents would say,

F                      E
well isn't nice you've got someone

Am             Am/G
Someone to idolize

 F                   E
he must look twice his size

Am                      Am/G             F      E
I think it's great, you're going through a phase

Am                            Am/G          F             E  Dsus2  C  B
And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days.

Am                                 Am/G
Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off

      F                   E
but the singer remained the same

     Am                   Am/G
And he never grew tired of singing his song

  F                     E
and his fans still called his name

   C                      Am             C                   G#
They'd leave at the end of the second show, go home to talk of the fun

  Am                     Am/G                     F               Am
For most of the fans were married by then, so they had to be in by one

 Am                 Am/G
I'm awfully glad the husbands would say

  F                    E
I'm awfully glad you got someone

Am            Am/G      F                      E
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size

Am                   Am/G             F        E
I think it's great you still remember his name

    Am                       Am/G
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show

      F                E  Dsus2  C  B
He'd be awfully glad you came

  Am                 Am/G
"The time has come," the Walrus said,

 F              E
"to speak of other things"

     Am               Am/G
Like a fallen star who works in a bar

    F            E
where Yesterday is king

  C                     G#              C                  G#
The fans will stay for an hour or so, they still remember his fame

      Am                 Am/G            F let ring
But the time has come the Walrus said, to call your fans by name

   Am    Am/G    Fm         E    Am    Am/G    F    E
by name          Do dah de doobie dah dah doo doo yah yahhaa
