Capo 2
G D C
G D C
The Kingsmen came together in a garage, they could hardly even play
G D C
But they practiced night and day pretty soon they got to where they could really play that song Louie, Louie
G D C
So, they saved up all the money from the shows, went in to one of them studios and gave their version of the song a try
G D C
Now, I don't know the words to that song Louie, Louie and I'm pretty sure the singer for the
G D C
Kingsmen didn't know ‘em either, if he did know ‘em he didn't get ‘em right on the record
G D C D
Cause on the record they sound jumbled in his jaw? It says, me think of me girl oh so constantly
G D C D
Ahmayaaah makaaaah aahh ooohoooh aaaaah
G D C
Well, that last part scared everybody from the PTA to the FBI
G D C
You see, the kids had been going kind of crazy lately and it seemed like nobody could figure out why,
G D C
So they decided to form a coalition, launch an investigation, you know for the children, they at least had to try
G D
To figure out the words to Louie, Louie
Chorus
G C G C
It's the feel good hit of this endless summer
G A7 D
It gets these kids out of control
C D G C
Singin along to that star spangled bummer,
G D G
Hail, hail rock and roll
G D C
Marilyn Manson’s real name isn't even Marilyn Manson, he's a skinny public high school
G D C
Kid from Florida, not some monster from out of this world and like of a lot other skinny long hair public
G D C
High school kids he was sick of getting beaten up by the pulling guard all week only to go out on the weekend, and watch the
G D C
Quarterback get all the girls so, he formed a band man
G D C
Now' he gets all the girls, a few years later a couple of latchkey kids go tragically
G D C
Mad and everybody's standing around the television store at the mall trying to figure out what went wrong, this guy says,
G D C
you think the life of a kid going to high school could've gotten so bad this other guy says nah,
C
It's just the words to one of them goddamn Marilyn Manson songs, you know the one
Chorus
G D C
You know, every ten years or so our country and some other little country, we start firing all of our newest weapons
G D C
At each other for some reason or another, right or wrong, like it or not, it happens, and when it happens
G D C
People get shot and when people get shot, they show it on tv a lot every night at six o clock
G D C
And you don't even have to be eighteen to see it you don't even have to be in first grade,
first grade where they teach the kid pride
G D C
They tell him he'll need to thrive, in a world where only the strong will survive, so he's taught the art of more
G D C
To compare to and to keep score Monday thru Friday while he stares at the floor til' Sunday they make him go to
G D C
School once more only this time they make him wear a suit and a tie and listen to some guy who claims to know where people go
G D C
When they die tell him that only the meek are gonna inherit the earth Well sh*t, by this time the kid doesn't know what anything
G D C
Is worth, now brothers and sisters I am only one guy and I don't even know the words to that song Louie, Louie
G D C
but I can tell you right now without batting an eye that the next time some latchkey kid goes wrong
C
It aint gonna be cause that Eminem gets to say the word Fag in his song
G D C
And I'm not trying to preach to ya either, I'm just trying to sing to ya too, you know string a few words together
G D C
Hey kids...

G D C
