Verse 1:

C

They cried the tears, they shed their fears,

C G

up and down the land.

C

They stole guitars, and used guitars,

C G

so the tape would understand.

Bridge:

F G

without even, the slightest hope,

C F

of a thousand sales

F G

Just as if, as if they were,

C F

hitsville in U.K.

Chorus:

F C

I know the boy was all alone,

C

'till the hitsville hit U.K.

Verse 2:

They say true talent,

will always emerge in time,

when lightning hits, small wonder,

its sparks for factory time

Bridge:

No expense accounts, no lunch discounts,

or hypeing up the charts

the band went in, and knocked 'em dead,

in two minutes fifty-nine

Chorus

Solo (verse w/out lyrics)

Bridge:

No slimy deals, no smarmy eels,

in hitsville U.K.

we'll shake them and say, we'll operate,

in hitsville U.K.

Chorus:

I know the boy felt all alone,

'till the hitsville hit U.K.

Verse 3:

The mutants, creeps and muscled men,

are shaking like the leaves,

it blows a hole in the radio

when it hasn't sounded good all week

Bridge:

A mighty boom, in your living room,

in hitsville U.K.

no consumer trials, no A.O.R's

in hitsville U.K.

Chorus

I know the boy felt all alone,

'till the hitsville hit U.K.

now the boys and girls are not alone,

now that hitsville hit U.K.
