    B              D#m  
The silicon chip inside her head   
     E               F#  
Gets switched to overload  
    B                    D#m  
And nobody's gonna go to school today,  
            E                 F#  
She's gonna make them stay at home,  
     E                 F#  
And Daddy doesn't understand it,  
          B                    E  
He always said she was good as gold,  
           E  
And he can see no reasons  
          E  
Cos there are no reasons  
     E                        F#  
What reason do you need to be shown  

        B                D#m/A#  
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,  
        E/G#             F#  
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,  
        B                D#m/A#  
Tell me why I don't like Mondays,  
        E                    F#  
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot  
              B  
The whole day down.

    B                D#m  
The Telex machine is kept so clean  
       E                  F#  
And it types to a waiting world,  
    B  
And Mother feels so shocked  
         D#m  
Father's world is rocked,  
          E  
And their thoughts turn to  
      F#  
Their own little girl.  
E                        F#  
Sweet sixteen ain't that peachy keen,  
       B                  E  
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat,  
         E  
They can see no reasons  
          E  
Cos there are no reasons  
     E              F#  
What reasons do you need  
  
Tell me why I don't like mondays  
Tell me why I don't like mondays  
Tell me why I don't like mondays  
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo - oo - oot  
               D#sus4                        B7/A

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

The whole day down.
