Chords

This song is the first track of The Who's 1978 album titled: "Who are You". I am very surprised that this hasn't been "chorded" yet, because it's a downright banger. D5 - x577xx D/C# - x477xx 136 BPM [Intro] E [Verse]
E
You need a new song

F#m                           E                  F#m
I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul

E
Don't take me too long

F#m                            E                    F#m
But there's a danger that I'll plagiarize something old
[Pre-Chorus]

My fingers kill me as I play my guitar

'Cause I've been chewing down at my nails

My hairline ain't exactly superstar

            C                                      F    Gm
But there's one thing that never fails, this never fails
[Chorus]
            F        Eb          Bb
I write the same old song with a few new lines

    F         Eb       Bb
And everybody wants to cheer it

            F        Eb               Bb
I write the same old song you heard a good few times

F                Eb      C       B
Admit you really want to hear it

Whenever I see you

F#m                          E                    F#m
You always treat me like I'm some kind of perfect man

E
Just 'cause I please you

F#m                        E                F#m
You explain, but you don't think I can understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7
My head is spinning as I scrawl with my pen

                 D                   A
'Cause I've been pouring vodka in my soul

C                   Am
Nothing really ever changes my friend

New lamps for old, new lamps for old
