[Verse 1]
B E
They told me to stop my drinking
B F#
They told me no more women or booze
B E
They told me no more late nights of cocaine
B F# B F# B
Well I had to tell them fuck you
B E
And I’ve had my share of hard times and hand cuffs

Drunk tanks, court dates and county blues
B E
And I’ve started more bar fights than I’ve finished
B F# B F# B
But they all started with a fuck you

I got my friends and good times and that California sunshine

But when Monday comes around and they tell me fuck you

B E
And our tour van is just a rolling felony
B F#
Percocets, Oxys, and mushrooms
B E
But when we get pulled over by the god damn police
B F# B F# B
We say well officer fuck you

How to play Fuck You: key, chords and progression

Fuck You by Get Dead is in the key of B major (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). The song uses 3 chords: B, E and F#.

Listen for B – E – B – F# (I – IV – I – V in B major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes A, D, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
