The Who are an English rock band formed in Shepherd's Bush, West London, United Kingdom, in 1964. They grew to be considered one of the greatest and most influential recording groups in the world; they are also famed for their prowess as a live band--winning awards and being described as &quot;possibly the greatest live band ever&quot;--primarily due to their energetic, loud performances and their smashing of instruments. The primary lineup consisted of Pete Townshend (lead guitar, vocals), Roger Daltrey (lead vocals), John Entwistle (bass, vocals) and Keith Moon (drums, vocals).

Mother was an incubator, father was the contents, of a test tube in the icebox in the factory of birth

   C       G            C           F              C          G            F              C
My name is 905 and I've just become alive, I'm the newest populator of the planet we call earth

      C         G         C                   F       C              G                  F        C            
In suspended animation my childhood passed me by if I speak without emotion then you'll know the reason why

C                G            C           F            C          G             F         G
Knowledge of the universe was fed into my mind,  as my adolescent body left its puberty behind
 

CHORUS:
    F            G                C           
And Everything I know is what I'm here to know

F            G                C           
Everything I do's been done before

      F          G     C       G        F
Every idea in my head, someone else has said,

        C          G         F     C      
And each end of my life is an open door

    C         G              C               F    C          G              F            C
Automatically defrosted when manhood came on time I became a man I left the ice school behind

C            G       C               F           C                  G          F           C
Now I'm to begin the life that I'm assigned, the life that has been used before a thousand times

BRIDGE 

Am               G                F            C
I have a feeling deep inside that something is missing

       Am            G          F          C
It's a feeling in my soul and I can't help wishing 

    Am              G                    F        G         Am             G        F       G
The world that I've discovered and we're living a lie and I tell the whole world the reason why


CHORUS:
         F          G                C            F            G                C
But 'til then all I know is what I'm here to know everything I do's been done before

      F              G    C       G        F            C          G         F     C
Every sentence in my head someone else has said and each end of my life is an open door

The Seeker

|G                    |A
 Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
      |G                          |A
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
|G                                      |A
   Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
|G                        |A
 Worship the sun when it's high
|Em                         |B7
    Some people go for those sultry evenings
       |Em               B7           |Em
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
   |Em7         |A7           |D      Dsus4 D...
But I like every minute of the day

|G           |F#m       |G                    |F#m
 I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
|G                     |Bbdim
   Every moment has its special charm
        |Bm                               |A7sus4   |A7
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine

I know a crowd who only live after midnight
Their faces always seem so pale
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
They say a suntan never fails
I know a man who works the night shift
He's lucky to get a job and some pay
And I like every minute of the day

I dig every second, I can laugh in the snow and rain
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain

And so you see that I'm completely crazy
I even shun the south of France
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
Some people have to have the sultry evenings
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day
 |G         |A7           |D   Dsus4 D   Dsus4 |D   Dsus4 D  Dsus4|D
I like every minute of the day

You Better You Bet

Baba O'Riley (often mistakenly called &quot;Teenage Wasteland&quot;) is the opening track of The Who's 1971's album Who's Next, written by guitarist Pete Townshend. Lead singer Roger Daltrey takes the vocals for most of the song, while Townshend sings the middle eight: &quot;Don't cry/don't raise your eye/it's only teenage wasteland&quot;. The title of the song is derived from this combination of the song's philosophical and musical influences: Meher Baba and Terry Riley.

&quot;Behind Blue Eyes&quot; is a song written by Pete Townshend of The Who for his Lifehouse project. It first appeared on The Who's 1971 Who's Next album, along with a number of other remnants from the project. The song is one of The Who's most well known recordings and has been covered by many artists.  The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as 'Brick' or 'Jumbo', who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his &quot;theme song&quot; had the project been successful.

&quot;Pinball Wizard&quot; is a song written by Pete Townshend and performed by the English rock band The Who, and featured on their 1969 rock opera Tommy. The original recording was released as a single in 1969 and reached #4 in the UK charts.   The lyrics are written from the perspective of a pinball champion, called &quot;Local Lad&quot; in the Tommy libretto book, astounded by the skills of the opera's eponymous main character, Tommy Walker: &quot;That deaf, dumb, blind kid sure plays a mean pinball&quot;, and &quot;I thought I was the hobby table king, but I just handed my pinball crown to him.&quot; 

"You Better You Bet" was written by Pete Townshend as a love song for his girlfriend at the time. Townshend said of the song, "I developed ['You Better You Bet'] over several weeks of clubbing and partying. I had gone through a lean period in my marriage and was seeing the daughter of a friend of mine. I wanted it to be a good song because the girl I wrote it for is one of the best people on the planet."When commenting on the song's lyrics and music, Pete Townshend said, "'You Better You Bet' was a very spontaneous lyric.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
