A            
I am the Theme from MASH Guy, 
Aaug                       A 
My kids are the theme from MASH Guy’s kids, 
D                              A 
My sister is the sister of the guy who wrote 
F              G 
The theme from MASH 

A 
It’s all I ever did 
Aaug              A 
It might be all I ever do 
D                    A 
I sit in a room in a house 
               F               G 
Built from the proceeds of the theme from... 

C#m 
MASH 
        D 
It’s my legacy 
C#m    C 
I will always be 
Bm                  F#m 
To everybody and to me 
D           E            A C#m F#m E 
The guy who wrote the theme 
     D     Dm 
From MASH! 

A 
Whenever anybody does a version 
Aaug      A 
Of the theme from MASH 
         D 
They are legally required 
       A 
To send me a copy 
         F              G 
Of their version of the theme 

A 
I spend all day listening 
    Aaug                         A 
To recordings of versions of the theme from MASH 
    D 
I’m building more shelving 
   A               F            G 
So I can store the tapes of the recordings 
       F               G 
Of the versions of the theme from… 

C#m 
MASH 
        D 
It’s my legacy 
C#m    C 
I will always be 
Bm                  F#m 
To everybody and to me 
D           E            A C#m F#m E 
The guy who wrote the theme 
     D     Dm 
From MASH! 

       D 
And on every spine 
   A 
Of every tape 
   E             A 
On every shelf I see 
    D 
The actual name 
       A 
Of the theme from MASH 
   E               A 
Is staring back at me 
     D          E 
It’s Suicide is Painless 
D        E        A C#m F#m 
Maybe in retrospect 
D             E           A C#m F#m E 
I should have called the song 
               D       Dm     A 
The theme from MASH
