(Original Key: Eb)
Intro:
Eb7, G7, C
Verse 1:
C G7 C C7
At the local dance, whilst posing by the door,
F C
A lady begged; "Would I come on the floor?"
F Cdim
A-bove the band, my voice was heard,
C Am D7 G7 C
Quite suddenly, it had occurred, to me... I'm bored!
Chorus 1:
F
I'm bored, with everything I touch and see,
C C7
I'm bored, with expo-ses of LSD.
F
I'm bored with Frank Sinatra's new LP,
D7 (n.C) G7 C
And so I roar... (shoo-be-do-be-do); I'm bored.
Interlude:
C
Verse 2:
C G7 C C7
Drinking different coloured wines or beers, (chug-a-lug-chug-a-lug),
F C (n.C)
Just quite frankly leaves me bored to, tears for souvenirs...
F Cdim
And quite apart from what one hears,
C Am D7 G7 C
I've been like this for years and years, you see?... en-nui.
Chorus 2:
F
I'm bored, with Mother Nature or her son,
C C7
I'm bored, with every-thing that should be done.
F
And so, I just poke out my big red tongue and...
D7 (n.C) G7 C
(*Raspberry*)... I'm bored.
Bridge 1:
C
I'm tired of art! (Drawing bored),
Sex is a drag! (In a boreding house, I daresay).
Awk! Australians bore me! (You mean the A-bore-iginals, don't you?)
(n.C)
I'm bored to death! (Like mortar bored!)
Break:
(n.C)
I am bored, I am bored...
(Repeat many times, in a Round)
(n.C)
This is boredom you can afford from Cyril Bored.
Interlude:
C
Verse 3:
C G7 C C7
I hate each Julie Andrews film they've made,
F C
I'm just a nasty, narrow-minded jade.
F Cdim
Don't think that I will smile at it;
C Am D7 (n.C) G7 C
I'm not a weak-willed hypocrite, I'll say... I'm bored!
Chorus 3:
F
I'm bored, with with-it men in spotty ties,
C C7
Who hum, (Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm), tiresome tunes like Edelweiss.
F D7 (n.C) G7 C
I'm bored, and when I hear it in a trice, I shout; I'm bored!
Coda:
D7 G7
The only thing that ever interests me...
C
Is ME! (Me! Me! Me! Me!)...
(Repeat 'me's' to Fade)
