Em                                G
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
            Em                  Bm
You'd stay home oh if only I'd let you
      Am                 Em  
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

Em                                    G
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver 
          Em                       Bm
And your friends are all serious ravers
      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

Reading Judy Blume
                  A
But you came too soon
            Em                        G
You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
              Em                             Bm
They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends

           Am                        
Don't be scared of the books you've read 
                Em                   A
You're the heroine, you'll be doing fine
              C
Wouldn't you like to get away?
                G
Bestowing the memory of good and evil

 D
On the ones you left behind
Em
   The heartless swine

Em                           G
And you love like nobody around you
         Em                  Bm
How you love, and a halo surrounds you
      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

                Em                  A
In the Autumn cool say cheerio to school
        Em                              G
Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately
      Em                              Bm
If I said all these things you would hate me
      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

                Em                       A
At the Church bazaar  I nearly went too far
               C
Wouldn't you like to get away
            G
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms

     D                          Em
And open fields of eucalyptus  westward bound
               C
Wouldn't you like to get away
              G
Give yourself up to the allure of

        D
Catcher In The Rye
                         Em
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes
