I Just Wanna Be Folky As Fuck
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse]
Am G
I won't wear makeup on Thursdays
F
It's not authentic enough
Am G
I need to sound a bit broken
F
I need to look kinda rough
Am
Sometimes I'm shy and I'm anxious
G
Sometimes I'm down on my knees
F F
Sometimes I try to embrace some slightly more modern qualities
Am G
But I won't wear makeup on Thursday, no
F
'Cause I am folky as fuck
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
You know that there are many chords that I could change so slightly
Am Em
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me?
F G Am
I was always taught to just be dour and no fun
G
Don't smile for anyone
[Chorus]
C
I wanna make you wanna cry
G F
Don't want those tears inside your eyes, no
Am G
I wanna wake up in Sandy Bell's bar
C
I wanna sing about sad stuff like Laury
G F
Broom and Sheep and men who're called Willie
Am G
I just wanna be folky as fuck
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I-

Oh-oh-oh-oh, I-
F Am G C
Oh-oh-oh, I just wanna be folky as fuck

Am G
I'll wear my jumper on Thursday
F
And I'll drink Iron-Bru from a can
Am G
I'll sing about independence (Yes, yes, yes)
F
About high flats, pieces and jam
Am
You know sometimes it gets kinda boring
G
When Findlay compares the club
He runs a substandard raffle
F
Full of really shite stuff
Am G
So I'll sing ballads on Thursday
F
Cos I am folky as fuck
[Pre-Chorus]
