*[Intro - see notes below]:   A


 A
 I think I'll get myself on the bandwagon 
 D                  A
 With my twelve bar blues 

 And sing of love or magic dragons 
      B                  E
 What else have I got to lose? 


        A
 Yes, I think I'll get myself on the bandwagon 
      D                         A
 Wear fancy clothes you can see through 

 And when I got all my drag on 
               B
 You won't see me 
E             A
 But I'll see you 


     D                                         A
 But all I gotta do is sing a little more like this 

(tutti frutti, beauties on duty) 
    D
 Or throw myself around 
                             A
 as though I'm bustin' for a piss 

(sock it to me, sock it to me, 

 sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me) 
D                                         A
 Or look sincere even when I don't really care 

(sha na na na, sha na na na) 
     B 
 You know if I mean it 
                      E
 cause I go whoa yeah yeah! 


   A
 I think I'll get myself on the bandwagon 
        D                       A
 Be the latest thing to hit the scene 

 No more motorways in old gig-wagon 
          B        E             A
 From now on chauffeurs and limousines 


[Instr]:   A    D    A    B    E


           A
 Well I'll read all 

 I'll read all the music papers 

(like the Rolling Stone) 
      D                          A
 I'll find out who makes the melody 

(come-a come-a come-a tell me what it's all about) 

 And never, never, never 
      B       E        A
 Underestimate the N.M.E 


     D                                         A
 But all I gotta do is sing a little more like this 

(tutti frutti, beauties on duty) 
    D
 Or throw myself around 
                             A
 as though I'm bustin' for a piss 

(sock it to me, sock it to me, 

 sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me) 
D                                         A
 Or look sincere even when I don't really care 

(sha na na na, sha na na na) 
     B
 You know if I mean it 
                      E
 cause I go whoa yeah yeah! 


   A
 I think I'll get myself on the bandwagon 
 D                  A
 with my twelve bar blues 
     
 And sing of love or magic dragon 

(You know what I mean) 
      B
 what else 
             E                           A  
 I mean what else have I got to lose? 




NB:
    *During the introduction, there is a rock riff in A, 
     alternating between an A chord and an A chord with an 
     extra F# note (a suggested fingering is shown in the
     tablature below). 

        'A' rock riff (tab):

E-------(0)---------(0)---------
B--------2-----------2----------
G--------2-----------2----------
D--------2-----------4----------
A--------0-----------0----------
E-------(0)---------(0)---------


Tab notes:
-This chord change is really just an A chord with an added F# note.
-Notes shown in parentheses indicate extra notes that can be omitted.
-This can be used throughout the song where "A" chords occur.  
 Similarly, the other chords use this type of riff throughout the song (see tab below), although they don't have to be played.


       D riff         B riff         E riff   --> (or E7 riff)

E------2----2--------(2)--(2)-------(0)--(0)-------(0)--(0)-----
B------3----3---------4----4--------(0)--(0)-------(0)--(0)-----
G------2----4---------4----4--------(1)--(1)-------(1)--(1)-----
D------0----0---------4----6---------2----2---------0----0------
A-----(0)--(0)-------(2)--(2)--------2----4---------2----4------
E------X----X--------(2)--(2)--------0----0---------0----0------


Tab notes:
-X indicates a string not to be played.
-Notes shown in parentheses indicate extra notes that can be omitted.
-For each pair of chords, the first chord is played, and then a quick
 change to the next.



     *Note that the chords throughout this song can probably be
      replaced with seventh chords if desired.
