National Lampoon - Goodbye Pop

      [Intro]
G C A

[Verse 1]
D                             C
You were born in a shack in a slum
       G         A        D
Like a hero's supposed to be
         B         Em        C
You were funny and tough and dumb
    Bb       Am       G
And loud and wild and free

[Verse 2]
D                           C
Your friends were Chuck and Bo
         G       A       D
And that redneck Presley kid
        B          Em           C
And you went where you liked to go
        Bb      Am         G
And you dug the things you did

[Chorus]
      Em             G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
      C                  D
And a thanks for all you gave
      Em               G
La la la la la and the least I can do
      Bb        F        G
Is to dance here on your grave

C A

[Verse 3]
    D                      C
You hung around in jukebox bars
    G          A        D
And danced and sang and grew
        B             Am      C
And you learned about love in cars
     Bb         Am        G
With Rhonda and Runaround Sue

[Chorus]
      Em             G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
      C                  D
And a thanks for all you gave
      Em               G
La la la la la and the least I can do
      Bb        F        G
Is to dance here on your grave

[Bridge]
Bb/C             C
Then you got the business smarts
Bb/C                   C
And a tailored English suit
Bb/C                C
With a wall full of plaques and charts
      Bb/C              C
And a briefcase full of loot
Bb/C      C
And forty floors above
         Bb/C                 C
You were puttin' the coast on hold
Bb/C       C
Buying and selling love
        Em           A7
Turning plastic into gold

[Verse 4]
           D                    C
And in the end you were fat and rich
G          A      D
Living for creepy thrills
  B          Em     C
A swaggering butchy bitch
Bb            Am          G
Screaming for needles and pills

[Chorus]
      Em             G
La la la la la la la goodbye Pop
      C                  D
And a thanks for all you gave
      Em               G
La la la la la and the least I can do
      Bb        F        G
Is to dance here on your grave

[Outro]
G
Fade out
