D7                    C7                G7
Well things had been tough without the dum dum boys
   D7           C7          G7
I cant seam to speak their language
     D7          C7           G7
i remember how they used to stare at the ground
       F       Am                G
they looked as if they put the whole world
 F             Am           G          D7 C7 G7
looked as if they put the whole world down

The first time I met the Dum Dum Boys
I was fascinated
They just stood in front of the old drug store
I was most impressed
No one else was impressed, not at all
And we'd sing da, da, da, da, da, dum, dum, day
Well, where are you now my Dum Dum Boys?
Are you alive or dead?
Have you left me the last of the Dum Dum daze?
And then the sun goes down
And then the boys broke down
People said we were negative
They said we would take but we would never give

But we'd sing da, da, da, da,
da, da, dum, dum, day
We'd sing da, da, da, da, da,
da and hope it would pay
We'd sing da, da, da, da, da,
dum, dum, dum, dum, day
Dum, dum day

Well now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys
Hey, where are you now when I need your noise?
Now, I'm looking for the Dum Dum Boys
The walls close in and I need some noise
