I Like To Recognize The Tune Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Som[Am]e fun[Dm]ny f[G]olks[C][Am]
like to shoot [Dm]off [G]rockets.
Others [Am]like [G]to pick [Dm]your[G] pockets.
Some [C]of them kill [G]when they
[C]feel the [Am]urge.
[Dm]Others go [C]in [Am]for p[D]er[G]jury.
[C]I, [Am]too,[D][Ebdim][Am][Em]
have a [C]passion [Am]that I [D]can't understand
[G]It [Em]comes [Am]out when I hear[D]
[Am]a ba[G]nd[Am][C][G][D][G]
I'd like [C]to recognize the tune
I want to savor what the band
[G]is [C]playing
[Dbdim]I keep on[A] sayi[Dm]ng
[G]Must you bury the tun[C]e?
I've [F]got to [C]know the answer soon
Is it a cat meowing in the attic?
[Dbdim]Or is it [Dm]daddy?
[G]Must you bury the [C]tune?
[A]A w[D]ell -[Db]known d[Abdim]rummer[Em]
[A]plays the [D]drums like [A]thunder
[Am]But [G]the melody i[C]s [F]six [Dm]feet under
[G]There isn't [C]anyone [G]for [C]me,
they kill the Billy Roses and Puccini, [Dbdim]oh don't [C]be [Dbdim]mean,[Dm]
[F]mus[C]t you bur[G]y the[C] tom[Dm]b?[Em][Am][F#dim][Ebdim][F#dim]
[G]Must you bury the [C]tomb?[G][C][G][C]
[Am][D][G][C][Ab][Am][Em][C]
[Am]Must you bury [G]the [C]tune?
It used to [F]go like this, oh, so do [C]-re -mi.[F]
[C]Now it goes like this,
[G]da -da [F#dim]-da -do -[F]da -[C]da.
[F]And the [C]trick, as [F]you [A]can see,
is [D]how to find the [G]melody.
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
[Dbdim]Oh, you'r[D]e all m[Dm]eany,
[G]must [C]you [G]bury the tun[C]e
Come on, fellas, follow me,
[C]and let's inser[Dm]t a little [G]melody[C]
[F]But don't change the [Dm]key[G]
[C]I want to recognize the tune
An[G]d w[Dm]hen I h[C]ear the clarinets a[Cm]ll screeching
[C][Dbdim][C][Dm][F][Cm][C][Fm][Cm]
[C]I've got to know the [F]an swer [C]soon
[G]What's wrong [C]with all
the notes [G]before [C]you?
[F]Do [Dm]they bore you?
[C]Must you bury [Fm]the [C]tune[A]?
[D]Am I l[Abdim]istening [Em]to a[A]
[D]dissonant [A]station?
[Am]Or i[Dm]s the mel[G]ody jus[C]t on vac[F]ati[Dm]on?
[G]They [C]play a little bit of [Dm]fuck [G]for you,[C]
but the credenzas all become [Dm]hot l[C]ickies.
[F]Oh, you icky,
[Dm]must you bury [F]the tune[C]?[C]
Must [C]you bury the tun[C]e?
