Verse 2:
CG7CC7 Drinking different coloured wines or beers, (chug-a-lug-chug-a-lug), FC (n.C) Just quite frankly leaves me bored to, tears for souvenirs... FCdim And quite apart from what one hears, CAmD7G7C I've been like this for years and years, you see?... en-nui.
Chorus 2:

Chorus 3:
F I'm bored, with with-it men in spotty ties, CC7 Who hum, (Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm), tiresome tunes like Edelweiss. FD7 (n.C) G7C I'm bored, and when I hear it in a trice, I shout; I'm bored!
