Get A Haircut
View chords used in this chart
Intro: G-C-D
[G] I was a rebel from the day I left school
[C] I grew my hair long and broke all the rules
[D] I'd sit and listen to my records all day
[C] With big ambitions of when I could play
[G] My parents taught me what life is about
[C] So I grew up the type they warned me about
[D] They said my friends were just an unruly mob
[C] And I should [NC] get a haircut and get a real job
CHORUS
[G] Get a haircut and get a real job
[C] Clean your act up and don't be a slob
[D] Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you, [C] get a haircut and get a real [D] job
I even tried that 9 to 5 scene
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play
Now I party all night and I sleep all day
I met this chick, she was my number 1 fan
She took me home to meet her mommy and dad
They took one look at me and said "Oh, my god"
Get a haircut and get a real job
CHORUS [G] Get a real [C] job (4x) Why don't you
I hit the big time with my rock-n-roll band
The future's brighter now then I'd ever planned
I'm 10 times richer than my big brother Bob
He's got a haircut and he's got a real job
CHORUS Get a real job (4x) Why don't you
