Hey!
Verse 1:
G
Cars and girls are easy to come by in this day and age
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, 'til I've spent my wage
When I was young, people spoke of immorality
All the things they said were wrong are what I long to be
Chorus:
G
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round
Cm Gm
When will it end
(when will it end)
Cm Gm
When will it end
(when will it end)
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
I find comments about my looks irrelativity[?]
Think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
I'm done searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
G
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round

About artist:
The Yardbirds were pioneers in almost every guitar innovation of the '60s: fuzz tone, feedback, distortion, backwards echo, improved amplification, and were one of the first to put an emphasis on complex lead guitar parts and experimentation. The term, "Yardbird" is used in the southern United States as slang for 'chicken' (as in poultry), and it is a slang expression for "prisoner".
The bulk of the band's conceptual ideas, as well as their songwriting, came from the quartet of singer Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja, and bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith, all of whom co-wrote the Yardbirds' original hits and constituted the core of the group.
