Boombox The Lonely Island
You could play the same chords as for the chorus throughout and add emphasis for
the chorus but i have tried to follow the bass synth at the begining you can add a
capo at the first and do it how you please really and update it bits that sound better

[Tbe Lonely Island] All Lonely Island Bits
[Em]Imagine in your mind a posh co[F#m]untry club
[A2]The stuffy old money where the p[B5]oor get snubbed
[Em]The spread is bland sauerkraut[F#m] and boiled goose
[A2]There's no way these people will[B5] ever cut loose
[Em]But then I walk in the room, h[F#m]old my boombox high
[A2]And what happened next, will blo[B5]w your mind
[Julian Casablancas] All Chorus/ Julian Casablancas Bits
[Am]Everything got outta [Dm]control
[Em]The music was so[Am] entrancing
[Am]Everyone got out on the[Dm] floor
[Em]It was a bunch of old white people d[Am]ancing
[Tbe Lonely Island]
Now picture if you will a bunch of business men
Stuffed in the boardroom like pigs in a pen
The ties around the necks are like a hangman's noose
In the middle of the table there's a boiled goose
The old people smell makes you want to puke in the sink
These dudes will never dance yeah that's what you think
I stride in the room all young and hip
Hold up my boombox and say listen to this
[Julian Casablancas]
Then everyone started to move
People rejoiced instead of financing
Your preconcieved notions were shattered
By the super old white people dancing
[Tbe Lonely Island]
The big apple, where people never dance
Spirits go down while profits expand
The cops or the dealers, who's got the juice
The street benders peddling their boiled goose
So many types of people will never get along
Till I bust out my boombox and play this song
[Julian Casablancas]
The music washed away all the hate
And society started advancing
Every demographic was represented
It was a rainbow coalition of dancing
Whoa!
Everyone was wearing fingerless gloves
Whoaaaaaoaaaaaoh!
I saw a Spanish guy doing the Bartman
[Tbe Lonely Island]
Transport now to an old folks home
Where the elderly are tossed on their brittle bones
The orderlies are stealing there's no excuse
Everyday for lunch they eat boiled goose
So I grabbed my boombox and hit the turbo bass
And what happened next was a total disgrace
[Julian Casablancas]
Everybody started having sex
The music was way too powerful
A bunch of old people f**king like rabbits
It was disgusting to say the least
Oh!
A boombox can change the world
You gotta know your limits with a boombox
This was a cautionary tale
A boombox is not a toy
