Richie and Ruben
Fountains of Wayne
Before you decide these chords aren't right, listen closely. There is an acoustic guitar
that plays a kind of C derative, heavy
on the B string that overpowers the base chords. Not saying this perfect...
Intro
F Dm Gm C
F Dm
They opened up a bar called "Living Hell"
Gm
Right from the start it didn't go too well
C
They didn't have the vibe or quite the right clientele
F Dm
They bought a velvet rope and the door man laughed
Gm
They got robbed blind by half the wait staff
C
Six short weeks and they were forced to sell
Bb F

G# Eb
Don't know what they're doin'
Bb F
Richie and Ruben
C
Are both a little out of their minds
Don't give 'em a dime
They'll blow through your dough
F
Just like they blew through mine
Dm
A-whoa a-a-o
Gm
Whoa-o a-a-o
Where did the money go?
C
Where did the money go?
F Dm
They opened a boutique they called "Degree"
Gm
Together with some kid from F.I.T.
Though later it turned out he never quite
C
Got his degree
F Dm
Eleven hundred bucks for a ripped up shirt
Gm
That came pre-stained with bleach and black dirt
Seemed just a little bit
C
Too steep to me - e - e - - e - e
