Chords for Tim O'Brien "Pompadour"

One of the early on in the presidential campaign,
the most talked about thing really was people's hair.
Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
And really nobody [E] I think is satisfied with their own hair.
I think you get up in the morning and you just kind of wish it was just slightly different.
At least I've talked to a lot of people that way.
But you never know what will happen _ _
_ [Em] _ _ with your hair.
And this is a true story.
_ _ _ Well they say that life's a gamble.
You can't know what's [Am] in store.
_ [G] Just when you [C] think it's one thing,
[Am]
then [B] another walks through [E] the [B] door.
[Em]
I thought nothing could surprise me.
I thought I'd seen it [Am] all before. _
_ [G] Until that [B] fateful [C] morning,
[F] I woke [B] up with the _ pompadour.
_ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ [E] Most [B] days I wake up [Em] early.
[B] [Em] When the bird has started [Am] to sing,
_ [G] I'm beside a sleeping [C] beauty.
_ [F] She's the one [B] who wears [Em] my ring.
[B] Well [Em] I tried [B] hard [E] not to wake [B] her.
I [E] got up and I [Am] tiptoed out.
_ [G] When I got to the [C] bathroom mirror,
[F] I let [B] out a [Em] rowdy shout.
It was the [Am]
pompadour.
_ [B] I woke up with the _ [Em] _
[B] pompadour.
_ [Em] _ _ [B] _ [Em] But it was [B] not just [E] some [B] bedhead.
[Em] It did not look like [Am] hell.
_ _ [D]
[G] I thought I might [B] be [C] dreaming.
[F] So I [B] pinched [Em] myself to [B] tell.
[Em] It was like a [B] range of [Em] mountains.
_ [B] _ [Em] It's rooftie before [Am] it fell.
[G] Well I looked like [C] Christopher Walken.
Run amok [B] with the styling gel.
It was [Am] the pompadour.
_ I [B] woke up with the _ [Em] _
[B] pompadour.

_ [C] Now it [F] really gets serious here.
[C] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [C] Well I [Fm] started thinking [C] different [Fm] about how I'd spend [A] my [Bbm]
day.
[Ab] I would need a [Db] suit of
rhinestones [Gb] that would [C] be the only way.
[Fm] Well I'd write [C] my name [Fm] on the neck [C] of my
[Fm] guitar and [Bbm] pearly leg.
[Ab] It would be worth [Db] every penny [Gb] of all the dough [C] I'd have [Fm] to
pay.
[C] My [Fm] deals they were [C] high and [Fm] mighty, [C] _ but they [Fm] did not [Bbm] last too long.
When [Ab] I read the
morning [Db] paper, [Gb] things [Fm] started going [C] wrong.
[Fm] Well I ran [C] my [Fm] fingers through [C] my hair, [Fm] I did
it for [Bbm] too long.
[Ab] Well I flattened my [Db] poor pompadour, [Gb] but at [Fm] least I got this song.
It
was a [Bbm] pompadour, _
_ [C] it was a _ _ _ pompadour.
[Fm] _ Oh a _ [Bbm] _ pompadour, [C] I woke up with a _ pompadour. _
