C#        A                             F#
You holy cow, the telegraph pole knows where
                    C#
It knows where you live

You holy cow, I'll get it to take me there
And shout abuse at your window

Chorus
G#    B                C#
1,2,3,4, I can take no more

You holy cow, I'll stand out here all night
Here on your front porch

You holy cow, I have no pride left to
Worry about

Chorus - x6
