Brownsville Station - Smokin’ in the Boys Room

Some of the banter is from the Mötley Crüe version

All chords in the intro and verse are slid up to from a half-step below

Originally in D, I play in A

How you doin’ out there?
You ever seem to have one of those days
When everyone seemed to be on your case
From your teacher all the way down
To your best girlfriend?

Well you know that used to happen just about all the time
But I found a way to get out of it
Let me tell you 'bout it

	A
S	ittin’ in the classroom thinkin’ it’s a drag

	F
L	istening to the teacher rap just ain’t my bag

	A
When t	wo bells ring you know that’s my cue

	F
G	onna meet the boys on floor number two

	D	A
Sm	okin’ in the boys room, sm	okin’ in the boys room

	E	D
Now t	eacher don’t you fill me	up with your rules

Down to the 3 of the chord on “every”, then up to the

five of the chord on “smoke”

E	D	A
Everybody knows that sm	okin’ ain’t allowed in sch	ool

	A
C	heckin’ out the halls makin’ sure the coast is clear

	F
L	ookin’ in the stalls, no there ain’t nobody here

My buddies Sixx, Mick, and Tom

	F
To	get caught would surely be the death of us all

	D	A
Sm	okin’ in the boys room, sm	okin’ in the boys room

	E	D
Now t	eacher don’t you fill me	up with your rules

E	D	A
Everybody knows that sm	okin’ ain’t allowed in sch	ool

Solo

D	A	D	E
D	A	D	F#	E

	A
P	ut me to work in the school book store

	F
Ch	eck-out counter and I got bored

	A
Te	acher was lookin’ for me all around

	F
T	wo hours later you know where I was found

	D	A
Sm	okin’ in the boys room, yes indeed, I was sm	okin’ in the boys room

	E	D
Now t	eacher don’t you fill me	up with your rules

E	D	A
Everybody knows that sm	okin’ ain’t allowed in sch	ool

One more...

	D	A
Sm	okin’ in the boys room, sm	okin’ in the boys room

	E	D
Now t	eacher I ain’t foolin’ ar	ound with your rules

Hard stop on “smoke”

E	D	A
Everybody knows that sm	okin’ ain’t allowed in sch	ool

Walk on D F# G Ab A, finish on...
