(Capo on fourth fret)

This song is super easy; it only requires the use of A, E and D chords. Have fun!


VERSE 1:

A    E
Oooooh, deary me
                           A
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed.
                                        E
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three
                                 A
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on TCH.
                              E
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea
                                A
I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smokey.
                             E
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
                            A
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.


CHORUS:

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,
   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?
D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,
       E                 A
Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.


VERSE 2:

A                   E
Oooooh Alfie get up it's a brand new day
                                    A
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away.
                                  E
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid
                         A
Get off your lazy ass, Alfie please use your brain.
                                         E
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray
                         A
I'm feeling guiltier for leading you astray.
                               E
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
                                   A
When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?


CHORUS:

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,
   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?
D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,
       E                 A
Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.


INSTRUMENTAL:
D   A   E   A
D   A   E   A


VERSE 3:
A                           E
Oh little brother, please refrain from doing that.
                                      A
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.
                                      E
It's time that you and I sit down and have a little chat,
                                       A
And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap.


CHORUS:

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,
   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?
D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,
       E            
Please don't despair,
       E
Please don't despair
       A
My mon frere.
