Ab7sus               Ab7Ab6sus4           Ab6   Ab7sus4  
                 See those trees
               Ab7Ab6sus4    Ab6  
Bend in the wind
      Ab7sus4       Ab7Ab6sus4              Ab6  Ab7sus4  
I feel they've got a lot more sense than me
           Ab7Ab6sus4      Ab6  
You see I try to resist
    Ab7 (Played throughout)
A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet
A rubberband hold me trousers up
A rubberband ponytails
If I could learn to twang like a rubberband
I'd be a rubberband girl
A rubAb7sus4berband girl meAb7  
A ruAb7sus4bberband girl meAb7  
Oh I wAb7sus4anna be a rubberbAb7and girl
                Ab7sus4(A rubberband girl, Ab7she.)
(Same as verse)
When I slip out
Of my catapult
I gotta land with my feet firm on the ground
And let my body catch up
(Repeat refrain)
 Ab7(Throughout)
Give like a rubberband
Twang like a rubberband
Snap like a rubberband
Rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub-a-dub
Rub-a-dub
                Ab7sus4                           Ab7Ab6sus4     Ab6  
One rubberband won't keep you up
                  Ab7sus4                           Ab7Ab6sus4        Ab6  
Two rubberbands won't keep you up
Ab7sus4Three rubberbands won't keeAb7p you up
Here I go......(aDLib)
.... Yeah!   (Repeat and fade)
