★4.6(5)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

(The above chording throughout the versus and for the chorus is the same

for the rest of the song except where noted.)

Satellites gone, way up to Mars

Soon it will be filled with parking cars

I watched it for a little while

I like to watch things on TV

Chorus

I've been told that you've been bored

With Harry, Mark and John

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday,

Harry, Mark and John

Satellites gone up to the sky

Things like that drive me out of my mind

I watched it for a little while

I love to watch things on TV
