Misc Musicals – Hedwig And The Angry Inch - Wig In A Box (Guitar)

A         E/G#
On nights like this

F#m7     G6             D
When the world's a bit amiss

        E
And the lights go down

 A                 E   E7
Across the trailer park

A
I get down

E/G#
I feel had

F#m7          G6             D
I feel on the verge of going mad

    E                           A
And then it's time to punch the clock

A             E
I put on some make-up

F#m             C#m
And turn up the tape deck

D            A              E        F#7
And pull the wig down on my head

Bm          E
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest

A        E/G#     G6
Midnight Checkout Queen

A       D
Until I head home

    E             A       G      D
And put myself to bed

A          E/G#
I look back on where I'm from

F#m7        G          D
Look at the woman I've become

        E
And the strangest things

    A            E
Seem suddenly routine

A                 E/G#
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks

F#m            G                D
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box

   E             A
Of towering velveteen

A             E
I put on some make-up

F#m             C#m
And some LaVern Baker

D            A                 E      F#7
And pull the wig down from the shelf

Bm           E            A        E/G#    G6
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive nineteen sixty-three

A       D
Until I wake up

    E            A          G     D
And turn back to myself

A                     E/G#
Some girls they got a natural ease

F#m          G6           D
They wear it any way they please

           E
With their french flip curls

    A            E
And perfumed magazines

A
Wear it up

E/G#
Let it down

F#m         G6                 D
This is the best way that I've found

          E                A
To be the best you've ever seen

A             E
I put on some make-up

F#m             C#m
And turn up the eight-track

D               A                 E      F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf

Bm           E           A
Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett

E/G#    G6
From TV

A       D
Until I wake up

    E              A
And turn back to myself

D
Shag, bi-level, bob

C
Dorothy Hamill do,

D
Sausage curls, chicken wings

     C
It's all because of you

          D
With your blow dried, feather back,

C
Toni home wave, too

D
flip, fro, frizz, flop,

     C
It's all because of you

     Bb
It's all because of you

     A7                     G
It's all because of you

A             E
I put on some make-up

F#m         C#m
Turn up the eight-track

    D           A                 E       F#7
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf

Bm          E               A
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star

   E/G#      G6
Of stage and screen

A           D
And I ain't never

    E             A
I'm never turning back
