E A6 

[Verse 1]
E                               A6
Hello cruel world so this is you
                          E
A broken heart but with a view
                             A6        Am
I'm looking out to face another day

[Verse 2]
E                         A6
The angry mob, the happy mass
                              E
This birthday cake may be the last
            C#m           D         E E
I'm looking out to find another way

[Chorus]
E          A               C#m
Norman Rockwell colours fade
        F#m                    C             
All my favorite things have changed
              D
What the hell,
                  E
Hello cruel world

[Interlude]
E A6 
(do do do-do do do do-do)

[Verse 3]
E                           A6
 I thought I heard an opera star
                          E
Who had no home under the stars
                                 A6       Am
She sang and sang and sang the night away

[Chorus]
E                               A6
And Mother Nature changed her name
                             E
She doesn't want to play the game
         C#m                   D        E E
I don't believe she'll ever be the same

[Chorus]
E          A               C#m
 So Big Brother never came
        F#m                C
Howdy-Doody gets the blame
                  D
But what the hell
                  E
Hello cruel world

[Chorus]
E          A               C#m
Bad and beautiful and strange
            F#m           C
Monkeys dancing in a cage
                 D
But what the hell
                 C  D  C#m
Hello cruel world

[Bridge]
C#m                     A
Venus de Milo grew an arm
                                 C
And Old MacDonald bought the farm
           D
Say goodbye
                 E
Hello cruel world

[Interlude]
E                          A6              
do do do-do  do do do do   do do do-do  do do do do 
E                          A6          Am           
do do do-do  do do do do   do do do-do  do do do do 
E
do do do-do  do do do do   

[Chorus]
E          A               C#m
Norman Rockwell colours fade
         F#m                        C
All my favorite things have changed
                 D                  E
But what the hell, hello cruel world

[Chorus]
E          A               C#m
Bad and beautiful and strange
           F#m           C
Monkeys dancing in a cage
                 D
But what the hell
                 C
Hello cruel world
         D                      C
(Say goodbye, hello cruel world)
                 D
But what the hell
                  E
Hello cruel world (do do do-do do do do-do) [repeat backup vox to end]
