(This is the best sounding arrangement I could come up with for ukulele that's not too tiresome to play,
but you need to check the chord numbers below to make sure you play the versions I do to make it work,
and also remember to put a capo on the first fret to get the same key that Melanie plays in)
[Intro]: Cm Eb Abmaj7 G
Cm Eb Drown me in my daily cup of tea, tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me Abmaj7 G They make me fall, but I will stand, cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands Cm Eb Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me, cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV's Abmaj7 G But what about little ol', little ol' me, the one who got bullied, because of her teeth Cm Eb Abmaj7 G I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind Cm Eb Abmaj7 G Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door Cm Eb Abmaj7 G Oh oh, oooh Cm Eb Ladies oh ladies, why are you so mad, is it cause I'm classy and you're a trash bag Abmaj7 G Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart, and now you're calling me cause you want a fresh start Cm Eb Now look at you boys you can't believe your eyes, you told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise Abmaj7 G You should've been nicer cause look where I'm at, while you copy Mac Miller wearing snapback hats Cm Eb Abmaj7 G I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind Cm Eb Abmaj7 G Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door Cm Eb Abmaj7 G Oh oh, oooh Cm Eb Why must you be so mean, talking trash about me Abmaj7 G Cm Eb Abmaj7 G All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all eternity or even just a week Cm Eb Abmaj7 G I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, to the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind Cm Eb Abmaj7 G Cm Now you say you love me, but what about before, when I was just that silly little girl next door, ooh
