Verse1:
You [G]go down the pub
You [A]wear make up
And [B]old dads trousers
Why [C]don't you tidy up
You [G]talk like a docker but you [A]act like a queer
You [B]drink champagne then comp[C]lain it's too dear
You [G]try so hard not to [A]follow any trends
Then you [B]cry in your beer and say you've [C]got no friends
[G]But is it any wonder that you've got no [A]friends
But it's not the [G]make up
Or the way you [F]dress[G]
It's not your app[G]earance, that they all det[F]est[G]
It's not your [A]manners, that you gotta to im[B]prove
ooooo--it's your attitude.
Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
[G]Take off your head phones
Hear what's going [F]on[G]
You can't live in a time zone
You've gotta move [F]on[G]
But before you [A]get there
There's one thing you've gotta [B]do
Oh change your attitude
Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
Bridge: |C Bb Bb C|
The '[C]80s are here, I [B]know cuz I'm staring right [C]at them
But [C]you're still waiting for [B]1960 to hap[C]pen
Verse 2
(You can play the G-Major-Pentatonic-Riff (as played by Dave) or the |GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)
You might have the ill[G]ness, but you've got the [F]cure[G]
You've got the an[G]swer, you will end[F]ure[G]
You're the only [A]person that's gonna pull you [B]through
Ooh, with your atti[G]tude
Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
Verse 3: Power chord riff |GFGGCBb| as played by Dave until the A chord
(or the |GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern again)
You gotta learn to be posi[G]tive, it's your only [F]chance[G]
You mustn't be so defen[G]sive, you gotta join in the [F]dance[G]
But it isn't your dan[A]cing that you've gotta imp[B]rove
Ooh, it's your atti[G]tude.
Chorus (|GGGG|FFGG|-Pattern)
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
[G]Attitude, [F]Oo Oo Oo
[G]Your attitude
It's all the [G]music
It's all in your [F]brain[G]
You've used all the [G]old licks
Now it's all gotta [F]change[G]
[G]Change your attitude[F][G]
