No Fun

Words & Music:

Iggy Pop

 

To get the same rhythm guitar sound as The Stooges when you strum the A chord, strum the A chord twice, release it to open strings & back to the A chord. (Listen to the record to see what I mean.)

 

A  D  A  D  A  D  A

 

A          E        A

No fun, my babe, no fun.

A          E        A

No fun, my babe, no fun.

   D             A     E                     A

No fun to hang around, feeling that same old way.

   D             A     E      [stop chord]     A  [back to vamp]

No fun to hang around, freaked out for another day.

 

No fun, my babe, no fun.

No fun, my babe, no fun.

No fun to be alone, walking by myself.

No fun to be alone, in love with nobody else.

 

BRIDGE:

      A             D

Well, maybe go out, maybe stay home,

A                     D

Maybe call Mom on the telephone

      A                 D

Well, come on...  Well, come on...

      A                 D

Well, come on...  Well, come on...

      A                 D

Well, come on...  Well, come on...

 

OUTRO:  [improv lyrics over A to D vamp, add guitar solo & out]

No fun to be alone.  No fun to be alone.

Hang on, don't you let me go.  [etc.]
