What A Good Boy Tab de uke por Barenaked Ladies

G                 D                                                                     
When I was born, they looked at me and said
C
what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
G                              D                                      
And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
C
what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.
G                       D                                   
We've got these chains that hang around our necks,
C
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
G             D                                        
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
C
when temptation calls, we just look away.


[Chorus]
G                               D
This name is the hairshirt I wear,
                    C                   D
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
G                        D
This song is the cross that I bear,
             C
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D                               G    G/F#   Em   C
be with me tonight,
                                     G    G/F#   Em   C
I know that it isn't right, 

but be with me tonight.


G                  D                                       
I go to school, I write exams,
C
if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
G                     D                                  
And if they do, they'll soon forget 
C
'cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet.
G                         D
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.

C
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
G                         D              Em                                                  
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
       C                                  G
and everything around me stays the same.


[Chorus]
                         D
...its the hairshirt I wear,
                    C                   D
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
G                        D
This song is the cross that I bear,
             C
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D                                G    G/F#   Em   C
be with me tonight,
                                     G    G/F#   Em   C              G    G/F#   Em   C
I know that it isn't right, 

but be with me tonight.


G                        D                               
I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
C
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
G                        D
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
C
so instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, laid awake all night.

G                                    D
We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
C
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
G                          D                                                     
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same 
C
when temptation calls ...


[Chorus]
G                               D
This name is the hairshirt I wear,
                    C                                         D
and this hairshirt is woven from -  is woven from - is woven from hair
G                        D
This song is the cross that I bear,
             C
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D                                
be with me tonight,

G                          D
When I was born, they looked at me and said;
C
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
G                                       D
And when you were born, they looked at you and said;
Em                                     C                                        G
what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey
