Boombox

Intro: Em G Am B5 D

 Em                         G
Imagine in your mind a posh country 
club
    Am                         B5 
The stuffy old money where the 
      D
poor get snubbed
 Em                      G
The spread is bland sauerkraut and 
boiled goose
        Am                       
There's no way these people will 
B5       D
ever cut loose
           Em                      
But then I walk in the room, hold 
  G
my boombox high
    Am                       B5   
And what happened next, will blow 
     D
your mind

Em                      Am
Everything got outta control
    D               G       D/F#
The music was so entrancing
Em                      Am
Everyone got out on the floor
         D                         
It was a bunch of old white people 
G       D/F#
dancing

    Em               G
The Big Apple, where people never 
dance
Am                    B5        D
Spirits go down while profits expand
    Em                         G
The cops or the dealers, who's got 
the juice

    Am                            
The street vendors peddling their 
B5     D
boiled goose
   Em                        G
So many types of people will never 
get along
       Am                      B5 
Till I bust out my boombox and 
       D
play this song

Em                            Am
The music washed away all the hate
      D              G        D/F#
And society started advancing
      Em                   Am
Every demographic was represented
         D                   
It was a rainbow coalition of 
 G       D/F#
dancing
Em   Am
Whoa
D                    G       
Everyone was wearing fingerless 
    D/F#
gloves
Em    Am
Whoah oh
        D                    
I saw a Spanish guy doing the 
 G       D/F#
Bartman

Em                  G
Transport now to an old folks home
          Am                   
Where the elderly are tossed on 
       B5      D
their brittle bones
    Em                             
The orderlies are stealing, there's
 G
 no excuse
Am                          B5    
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled 
 D
goose
     Em                            
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the
 G
 turbo base
    Am                       B5   
And what happened next was a total
    D
 disgrace

Em                       Am
Everybody started having sex
    D                 G       D/F#
The music was way too powerful
           Em                      
A bunch of old people fucking like 
Am
rabbits
          D                  G    
It was disgusting to say the 
  D/F#
least, oh
  Em                     Am
A boombox can change the world
          D                       
You gotta know your limits with a 
G       D/F#
boombox
Em                    A
This was a cautionary tale
  D                G    D/F#
A boombox is not a toy
