Bb               D       Eb    Ebm
Oh, come and see the opening band
    Bb                   D
Now that you've got your tickets
    Eb           Eb     F
And beverages in hand
     Bb                   D
They look so tired, sound uninspired
   Eb             Ebm
Guitars are secondhand
       Bb              Cm F    Bb
'Cause no one likes an opening band


[Verse 2]
  Bb             D       Eb      Ebm
Nobody likes the opening band
      Bb                 D
Their set time's far too early
         Eb             Eb     F
And I've never heard of them
    Bb               D
And chances are they won't go far
  Eb              Ebm
Career is sure to end
       Bb              Cm F    Bb
'Cause no one likes an opening band


[Bridge]
Gm  Eb         Bb                  F        Gm
Oh, unfamiliar things will make us nervous
    Eb               Bb             F        F+
but singing here for you gives me a purpose, so


[Verse 3]
F+   Bb          D       Eb     Ebm
Take pity on the opening bands
       Bb             D
'Cause no one came to see them
  Eb                 Eb   F
Except their mom and dad
    Bb             D
But if you lend an ear
              Eb              Ebm
And give them just one little chance
    Bb
