BUY ME A PONY 
 
Don't you wanna be a personality 
an ocean in the sea 
But you'll never make it if you can't shake it 
so don't mistake it 
just try and fake it 
And I want you to know you don't have far to go 
so we'll use all your dough 
to buy new clothes 
and see what flows 
and powder your nose for those photos 
You're almost on your way to popularity 
and we'll teach you to play with icy stare 
and punk rock hair 
and beatnik flair we'll take you there 
 
'Cause there's nobody else like you 
and we sure care just what you're doing 
after we have gone our separate ways 
 
So don't you want to be a big time entity 
your place in history 
But don't be scared of what we said 
'cause there's no end to being your friend 
But wait out in the hall 
we just recieved a call 
we'll have to dump you all 
But don't you try to pass us by 
'cause we own you until we're through 
 
And there's so many round like you 
and we don't care just what you're doing 
after we have gone our separate ways

This is a pretty damn good song and one of the best off their new  
album. They use some weird timing in some parts of the song. 
 
Intro: {x3} 
	       *    *	 
|----5----5----5----5----| 
|----5----5----5----5----| 
|----7----7----7----7----| 
|----7----7----7----7----| 
|----5----5----5----5----| 
|----5----5----5----5----| 
 
Important: The first two strums are downwards and after that there 
is a pause and the next two strums (marked with an *)are up. 
Then the song goes straight into a few chords for the verse. It should 
be easy for you to figure out the strumming for this so I will just give 
you them. 
 
verse 
|----5----8-----3----| 
|----5----8-----3----| 
|----7----10----5----| 
|----7----10----5----| 
|----5----8-----3----| 
|----5----8-----3----| 
 
Play through these chords three times and then into the next bit where 
Kram starts singing a little faster. This is where the timing starts 
getting weird so I'll just give you what I think the chords are. 
 
other bit 
|------5------5------| 
|------5------8------| 
|------7------7------| 
|------7------5------| 
|------5------5------| 
|------5------5------| 
 
In the chorus where Kram is singing 'And there's no one else like..' 
I'm not sure yet what is happening there. 
 
So the song is  played like:
