[Verse]
A
In cycles
Amaj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
A
Where grass grows
Amaj7
And remnants of you in placation
A
Your breath sounds
Amaj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
A
In blue gowns
Amaj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
Amaj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
A# A
And lie
A
When life meets child, your only pride
A# A
You lie
A
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
A# A
And lie
Amaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
A
She had a pretty dad
G
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
D
Until she wanted to
A (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
G
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
D
Until he wanted to
A
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
G
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
D
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
A
Still she had to speak loud
Amaj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
A
And eats in
Amaj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
A
And cries late
Amaj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
A
And prays long
Amaj7
In hopes of something better for the children
A
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
A# A
And lie
A
When life meets child, your only pride
A# A
Can lie
A
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
A# A
And lie
Amaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
A
She met a pretty boy
G
And they would dance between their elders
D
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
A (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
G
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
D
From her school
A
Her colors matched the room
G
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
D
When her friends left town
A
The kid across the street
G
He'll keep around when she was changing
D
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
A
Her mother died at home
G
She had saliva in her pockets
D
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day
Dsus9
Oh little chocolate girl
Asus4add9
Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
C#m Bm
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
E F#m
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
E A
Cause I can't see you
E F#m
I'll open up my brain again
It has a lot of lyrics but the music is pretty simple once you listen to
it a few times. There are some pretty cool synth and piano licks
that Avey plays that aren't too hard to figure out either. I haven't
learned all of them, but I know for the A# part in the verse, the synth
goes something like:
(bass tab)
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|--3--1---3--1--0--|
E|------------------|
And the 'Ill take you for walks on the ocean' part is something like:
G|-------------------|
D|---7--6--4--6------|
A|-------------------|
E|-------------------|
Don't quote me on those licks, I just started toying around with those
parts. Anyway, have fun with this, because I sure as hell do. Now I just
have to convince my band to cover this, haha. Email me if you have any
