[Verse 1]
G                          
Another summer wasted in the 
   Amadd9
Battlefords
     Cmaj7
On a banana seat bike
       G
With a hockey card in the spokes
G                                 
A friend of ours who's dad stopped
                        Amadd9
 his car by to say that "he better 
get home"
                            Cmaj7
He said "you're gonna get a beating,
                     G
You're gonna get the beating of your
 life"

[Pre-chorus]
D          Em              D/F# 
Whoo-oo-ah  Nutrasweet and 
          Cmaj7
Fresca and Pop Shoppe
Cmaj7                         
And all the best of what a baby 
           Am7
sitter could afford
     Em                        
With enough negotiation and freckled
Cmaj7
 smile

[Verse 2]
G                                 
Another summer wasted here in the 
Amadd9
Battlefords
                Cmaj7
Our dust coated freezie stained lips
     G
And lawn darts in the yard
G                                 
And the richest guy in town drives
 his new Lincoln drunk    on the old
 Amadd9
 dusty streets
            Cmaj7
Balancing a snifter of gin
       G
On the edge of his knee

[Pre-chorus]
D        Em             D/F#    
Whoo-oo  Rocky road and tiger 
        Cmaj7
tail and bubble gum
Cmaj7                             
And all the rest of them that a 
              Am7
baby sitter could afford
         Em                   
With the right negotiation and 
      Cmaj7
freckled smile

[Chorus]
G                                 
  They say that wealth is revealed
        Bm
 in the teeth
Bm                                C
That's why we're all wearing braces
          G
And dirty fingernails  ah-aaah

  That a good akela wouldn't approve

  Not another broken arm in this

heat
Bm                                
He fell bringing pop and chips 
         C
home one handed
           G
We weren't invincible  ah-aa oh
Amadd9                       
   And the sensei said he'll sit out

 the tournament

[Verse 3]
G                                 
Another summer wasted here in the 
Amadd9
Battlefords
               Cmaj7
Dad shakes his head at the car
             G
That's been sitting on blocks for 
years
G                              
And the weird kid who smoked two 
cigarettes playing Bingo, then 
Amadd9
his mom came to his rescue
                  Cmaj7
She stood up and chided everyone   
with her finger outstretched
       G
Saying "you're not the boss of him"

[Pre-chorus]
D        Em             
Whoo aw  Ring pops,     banana 
D/F#                Cmaj7
runts, Popeye cigarettes
Cmaj7                             
And everything that's best that a 
                 Am7
babysitter could afford
         Em                     
With the right negotiation and a

Your mom says to go get outside

And don't come back till it's dark
