Biography:
John Alec Entwistle was born in Chiswick, a London suburb, in 1944. In the early 1960s, he played in several traditional jazz and dixieland outfits with schoolmate Pete Townshend, and later joined Roger Daltrey's band the Detours. This band later became The Who.
He was nicknamed "The Ox" because of his amazing consitution (e.g. drinking). Bill Wyman described him as "the quietest man in private but the loudest man on stage." He was also known as "Thunderfingers" by his bandmates and fans.

"My Size"
by John Entwistle
>From the album "Smash Your Head Against The Wall"
transcribed by David Goodwin (chords only transciption)

NOTE: The "break" which I refer to can be performed in a number of ways.
One such place is (listed by string,fret) is 4,7;4,9;3,7;4,9;2,8;3,9.
Also, since the song repeats so much, I'm just outlining the different
sections.
INTRO: (in 4/4, D5 gets only one beat, E5 3. Should be easy if you know
the song)
D5, E5, D5, E5, D5, E5, "break"
D5, E5, D5, E5, D5, E5, "break"
D5 E5 D5 E5
Ever since I first saw you
D5 E5 "break"
I never seemed to get you off my mind
D5 E5 D5 E5
When I tried to say hello
D5 E5 "break"
You tried to go, I made you stay behind
G F C
Now you're always hanging round
D/Dsus4
You never touch the ground
A
You make me feel so small
A
Wish I was ten feet tall
A F D A
I'm gonna bring you down to my size
Bm D A (improvise a bit on the chord)
One of these days I'm gonna make you fall
A F D A
I'm going to bring you down to my size.
Bm E D A E
Smash your head against the wall!
(Guitar solo)
Remaining lyrics (to pattern of first verse)
Remember when I lost my cool
Shouted at you, you nearly hit the ceiling
You tried to make me feel a fool
Ignoring me, you really hurt my feelings.
But now....etc.
Enjoy!
