A           
I am the Theme from MASH Guy,
Aaug                       A
My kids are the theme from MASH Guy’s kids,
D                              A
My sister is the sister of the guy who wrote
F              G
The theme from MASH

A
It’s all I ever did
Aaug              A
It might be all I ever do
D                    A
I sit in a room in a house
               F               G
Built from the proceeds of the theme from...

C#m
MASH
        D
It’s my legacy
C#m    C

Bm                  F#m

D           E            A C#m F#m E
The guy who wrote the theme
     D     Dm
From MASH!

A
Whenever anybody does a version
Aaug      A
Of the theme from MASH
         D
They are legally required
       A
To send me a copy
         F              G
Of their version of the theme

A
I spend all day listening
    Aaug                         A
To recordings of versions of the theme from MASH
    D
I’m building more shelving
   A               F            G
So I can store the tapes of the recordings
       F               G
Of the versions of the theme from…

C#m
MASH
        D
It’s my legacy
C#m    C
I will always be

     D     Dm
From MASH!

       D
And on every spine
   A
Of every tape
   E             A
On every shelf I see
    D
The actual name
       A
Of the theme from MASH
   E               A
Is staring back at me
     D          E
It’s Suicide is Painless
D        E        A C#m F#m
Maybe in retrospect
D             E           A C#m F#m E
I should have called the song
               D       Dm     A(optional ending)
