Boy Like Me Chords

   
As there’s no tab for that song so far, I tried my best to come up with an easy one. 
Suggestions, corrections (esp. for the ‘solo’) and comments highly appreciated!


I usually play the F’s and G’s as staccato as possible and strum the Em’s loosely, but 
that’s up to you, I guess.




For the intro:

e|--5--5--5--5^6--3---8p7h8-|

G|--------------------------|  (repeat)
D|--------------------------|

E|--------------------------|


Em   F   Em   G
Em   F   Em   G


  Em             F
A boy like me is told

      Em            G
He is both nine and ninety

      Em
And a boy like me

       F          Em
Should shut those books

         G
Join the army

     Em
And a boy like me

      F        Em
Would never be seen

             G
Fighting for peace

       Em
I want total chaos

      F       Em          G
And a holiday home in the east

      Em
And a boy like me

       F         Em         G
Should know much better than

   Em                F      Em       G
To raise his flag in stormy weather

  Em                    F        Em      G
I just can't get enough electric shocks

        Em
I wanna buy a lighthouse

    F      Em             G
And ride a giraffe on the rocks


Em  F  Em  G


[I don't give up]



       Em
I want two dogs

    F       Em
Two cats


A big kitchen

      G
And a welcome mat

I want all this

Em              G
And all i shall have

Em      F      Em                     G

  Em
A boy like me

      F         Em
Don't ever give up

            G
Give up his dream


No
