Bm      E

[Verse 1]
A                  D
Well, we got James Hetfield
E                  A     F#
And we tied him up tight
          D
Naked and cold
E                        A      F#
We kept the strip lights bright
                   D
Said what have you got for us James
E                  A    F#
He said nothing at all
                   D
So we dragged some speakers 
E           A    F#7
In from the hall

[Chorus]
Bm    F#m    E
James James James
             C#m   Ddim7    F#m
Just give us names names names
Bm    F#m   E
James James James

[Verse 2]
                     D
Well, we tried every tune in the songbook
E             A      F#
To loosen his tongue
                 D
We played Simply Red nonstop
E              A     F#
He just swayed along
               D
Then we had an idea
E             A      F#
A new plan of attack
                    D
Thought that even a deaf man
E              A      F#7
Would bend and crack

[Chorus]
Bm    F#m    E
James James James
             C#m   Ddim7    F#m
Just give us names names names
Bm    F#m   E
James James James

[Verse 3]
                    D
Now look what we've brought for you James
E             A    F#
Your favorite disc
           D
It's Chumbawamba
E              A                  F#
Their greatest hits (There's only one)
              D
Turned up the volume
E                       A               F#
You should've heard him sing (Oh how he sings)
                D
He cried like a baby
E                A             F#7
And told us everything (it was Lars!)

[Chorus]
Bm    F#m    E
James James James
             C#m   Ddim7    F#m
Just give us names names names
Bm    F#m   E
James James James
