It was the E5 struggle of the century
And all the A5 grown men came to see
The E5 girl who could tame the tiger, yeah, yeah
The A5 heart of the Southern lover
They E5 found her under the sea
She said she A5 came from cell block 3 A7
(On the last A5, stop at measure 2, beat 1&. Replace the remaining notes with A7 in rhythm.)
PRE-CHORUS:
(For the pre-chorus, hit the bass note twice, then the full chord, a total of four times
chord)
The E7 girl hit hot like a barracuda baby
She A7 floated on air like a crest of a wave
She was a E7 primal institution
She was a A7 danger to herself, yeah
F# Mad lovin' by the E cold hearted
E-slide
Take a deep breath, babe cause we've just started
CHORUS:
The rhythm changes here:
E5*:
1& 2& 3 & 4 &
A5*:
1& 2& 3 & 4 &
E5* A5*
Mystery Girl, Mystery Girl
E5* A5*
Keep on fakin' your mystery world
E5* A5*
Cause the mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
E5* A5* G A B E-slide
The mystery boys will be your toys
VERSE:
Not a E5 day goes by I wanna disappear
In A5 to her a eyes of mother of pearl
And my E5 head feels dead from all this useless fightin'
But my A5 heart ain't dead cause it keeps on A7 lovin'
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
OUTRO:

The mystery boys will be your toys, yeah
The mystery boys will be your toys
They'll be your toys, yeah girls

End on E.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
