            Am             Am/E   Am/G      Am             Am/E 
We got the books, and the records, and the tapes, and the pictures, 
Am/G    Am           Am/E      Am/G      Am       Am/E  Am/G 
And the pots and the pans, and all the breakable glass, 
      Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am         Am/E  Am/G 
The living room couch, and the dining room table, 
      Am             Am/E  Am/G    Am         Am/E  Am/G 
The washer, and the dryer, what a pain in the ass! 


              Am         Am/E  Am/G      Am         Am/E  Am/G 
We've got the TV, and the home enter - tainment... centre, 
     Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am        Am/E  Am/G 
The box spring,       and the queen-size bed, 
             Am               Am/E   Am/G      Am            Am/E  Am/G 
We got the Christmas deco - rations, and the bureau, and the play - pen, 
      Am          Am/E  Am/G  Am 
IF WE HAD A PIANO,       I  THINK I'D DROP DEAD! 


 F                                G 
        Brrrrrrrrrrrr!  Oh, yes, yes!               Brrr, dah!

       Am        Am/E      Am/G Am       Am/E 
At the end of the day, the old place is empty,  
Am/G    Am       Am/E  Am/G  Am         Am/E  Am/G 
And the new place hous - es all of our stuff, 
  Am          Am/E  Am/G      Am      Am/E  Am/G 
Unpack all the crap in the cardboard boxes, 
    Am        Am/E  Am/G     Am        Am/E  Am/G 
It wasn't that bad,  no, it wasn't so rough, 
Am                Am/E   Am/G   Am                Am/E  Am/G 
   But my strong buddies...    look a little bit grumpy,  
   Am   Am/E   Am/G   Am          Am/E  Am/G 
I don't why----- I  broke my butt, 
       Am        Am/E  Am/G      Am       Am/E  Am/G 
To - morrow we'll call  up the telephone compan - y, 
Am                 Am/E    Am/G   Am  Am/E  Am/G 
    And get another set of house keys cut!

We're gonna move,    we're gonna move,
