My brother and me used to play it down at the bar

Taking money from guys more used to the playing of cards

Paddle the paddle to the side to the side

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle the side to the side

Pong

Ball in the machine

Now virtually everyone’s singing a popular song

But I still believe in the excellent joy of the Pong

Paddle the paddle to the side to the side

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle the side to the side

Pong

Ball in the machine

Nowif they take it H.G. Wells

Well, I'll be on the next flight

To a time before the Kong

Whatever happened to pong?

Paddle the paddle to the side to the side

To the side to the side to the paddle the paddle

Paddle the paddle the side to the side

Pong

Ball in the machine

(play 2x)

Dm F Bb (4x)

Seven days will get you there
Seven plates of bone
I won’t pray to get me there
Get there on my own

Going yonder where I was born
Place where I was partly raised

Have you been to Boston Town
The place where I was born
Seven days will get you there
Seven plains of corn

Lord knows I’ve been all around
Roaming all around these plains

[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frank_black/seven_days_crd.html ]
Eb D7 Bbm Bbm6 F Bbm6/Db
On my way back home from seven years
In seven days
Eb D7 Bbm Bbm6 F Bbm6/Db
Seven winters blown like seven players
Who had no cheer

2x

Eb D7 Bbm Bbm6 F Bbm6/Db
Seven summers grown the seven ways
to all my tears
Eb D7 Bbm Bbm6 F Bbm6/Db
On my way back home from seven years
in seven days

Seven days will get you there
Seven plates of corn
I won’t pray to get me there
Get there on my own

Going yonder where I was born
The place where I was partly raised
Going yonder where I was born
The place where I was partly raised
