Hiroshima Lyrics

Hiroshima (B B B Benny Hit His Head)? Ben Folds
Hiroshima (B B B Benny Hit His Head)
(Ben Folds)
From: "Way to Normal" (2008)
Of course it's a piano song, but it's still fun to play!
Guitar: Capo 3rd fret
Riff
Solo (no capo, fuzz bass)
Intro (Riff): | D | A/C# | Bm | G |
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
It was the start of the show
Hiroshima
and the people were shouting my name
as the house lights came down
and the spotlight followed me out
I waved hello to the crowd
as I busted ass off the front of the stage
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
They're watching me, watching me fall
Maybe it was the rush of adrenaline
as the concrete rose to meet my face
Maybe it was the sheer embarrassment
that kept me conscious and standing as I
crawled back on the stage
and started pounding out the first song
There was blood on the keyboard...
G (stop)
..Oh my God.
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
They're watching me, watching me fall
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
They're watching me, watching me fall
| D | A/C# | Bm | G |
SOLO (bass)

You wanna see what's in my head?
You wanna see what's in my head?
You wanna see what's in my head?
Check it out 'cause;
I got pictures of what's in my head
I got pictures of what's in my head
They took'em in Tokyo
And I brought 'em back with me to the USA
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
They're watching me, watching me fall
Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
They're watching me, watching me fall
Spoken Outro: D (jam)
It's true, I fell.
And I hit my . . . my head, you know.
I mean my head . . . my ankle, my ankle was black
But my head got a concussion.
They took x-rays and . . .
I asked the doctor . . . if he could tell whether I was . . .
I don't speak Japanese so . . .
