Listen son, you’re growing up    so quick - ly.
A/C#     Dsus2 A/C#    Dsus2    Gadd2  E
Growing up,    bigger by    the day.

Papa:
  Dmaj7                        C#m
Although we want you here, the rules are very clear!

Mama:
B9
Now you’re seven,
             Papa: Now you’re seven.

Both: 
Dmaj9      Dsus2/E        A/C#  Dsus2  A/C#
So its time        to go away.

Papa: 
Dsus2                            A/C#
     Your mama packed a sandwich for your trip

Mama: 
     Dsus2                    A/C#
Your papa packed your boots incase of snow

Both:
       Dsus2                   C#m
You’re gonna make us proud; no backing up allowed

Mama: 
B9
Just keep walking
              Papa: Just keep walking

Both:
Dsus2                          G    E
And you’ll find somewhere to go
       A                    Bm7
It’s a big bright beautiful world
     A/C#      B7
With happiness all around
    D       
Its peaches and cream,
    A/C#              Dsus2/E
And ev’ry dream comes true
            Dsus2/E
But not for you
       A                           Bm7
It’s a big bright beautiful world
     A/C#          B7
With possibilities ev’ry where
    D
And just a round the bend, 
A/C#                Dsus2/B
There’s a friend or two
Dsus2/E            A/C#  Dsus2
       But not for you!

Mama: 
      A/C#    Dsus2      A/C#        Dsus2     A/C#  Dsus2  A/C#
We’re ugly son,    which means that life is harder
Dsus2/B       A/C#        Dsus2     A/C#     Dsus2   Gadd9  E       
       People hate the things  they cannot under  -  stand

Papa: 
    D                     C#m
And when they look at us, they tend to make a fuss,

Mama:
B9
Burn our houses down

Papa:
    Dmaj7     Dsus2/E
And chase us

Both:
        A
Off our land

Papa:
Dmaj7                         A/C#
Its important that you find a cozy cesspit,

Mama:
  Dmaj7                   A/C#
A place no one would ever dare to tread

Both:
    Dmaj7
And if they happen by,
     C#m
Make sure you terrify them

Mama:
B9
If you don’t, son
                Papa: If you don’t, son

Both:
Dmaj9           Dsus2/E           A       Bm7
Then you’ll sure   -   ly wind up dead!

Mama:
    A/C#
Goodbye!
        Papa: Goodbye!

Mama:
B7               Dmaj7                 A/C#
     Watch out for men   with pitchforks!

Shrek:
G5          Bb                           Eb
   Keep your big bright beautiful world!
    Bb
I’m happy where I am
C            Eb                  Bb/D                    Eb
All alone, I got what I need, so read the stinkin’ sign!
F            Bb                          Eb
   Keep your big bright beautiful world!
  Bb               C
I party on my own, anyway
Eb                         Bb                 F
Doin’ what I can with a one - man conga line!
F/Eb                      Eb                   Gm
    Yeah, your big bright beautiful world is a teddy bears and unicorns
Eb                       Dm                                  F
Take your fluffy fun and shove it where the sun don’t shine!
Am                        Am/G             Fmaj7     G
I prefer a life like this;    its not that complicated
         Am                        Am/G
Sure I’m fated to be lonely and im destined to be hated
       Fmaj7                       G
If you read the books, they say it why I was created
    D                   F7    F     Fmaj7           Dm   G
But I don’t care, cause bein’ liked,     is grossly over-rated
            C                          F
Who needs a big bright beautiful world
           Am                            F
Ive got my own little patch of the world
          Dm                   Gsus4
Its not a big bright beautiful world
        C     D/C    F/C
But its mine
           C
All alone, its mine
               D    F
And its mine
    C
All Mine!
