The silicon chip inside her head 
  F          G
Gets switched to overload
  C            Em
And nobody's gonna go to school today,

She's gonna make them stay at home,
  Am          G
And daddy doesn't understand it,
      C            F
He always said she was good as gold,

And he can see no reasons
      F
Cos there are no reasons
  F              G
What reason do you need to be shown

      C         G
Tell me why I don't like mondays,

Tell me why I don't like mondays,

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
C       C
The whole day down.

  C          Em
The Telex machine is kept so clean
    F             G
And it types to a waiting world,
  C
And Mother feels so shocked
     Em
Father's world is rocked,
      F
And their thoughts turn to
   G
Their own little girl.
Am               G
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,
    C              F
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
     F
They can see no reasons
      F
Cos there are no reasons
  F        G
What reasons do you need

The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down...

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
  F              G
She wants to play with her toys a while,
  C               Em
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
     F         G
And the lesson today is how to die.
       Am
And then the bullhorn crackles,
     G
And the captain tackles,
      C                F
With the problems and the how's and why's
      F
And he can see no reasons
      F
Cos there are no reasons
  F             G
what reason do you need to die

Tell me why I don't like mondays
      F         G
Tell me why I don't like mondays
      C         G
Tell me why I don't like mondays
     F           G
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot
C       C
The whole day down.
