[Verse]
B
In cycles
Bmaj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
B
Where grass grows
Bmaj7
And remnants of you in placation
B
Your breath sounds
Bmaj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
B
In blue gowns
Bmaj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
Bmaj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
C B
And lie
B
When life meets child, your only pride
C B
You lie
B
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
C B
And lie
Bmaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
B
She had a pretty dad
A
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
E
Until she wanted to
B (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
A
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
E
Until he wanted to
B
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
A
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
E
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
B
Still she had to speak loud
Bmaj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
B
And eats in
Bmaj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
B
And cries late
Bmaj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
B
And prays long
Bmaj7
In hopes of something better for the children
B
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
C B
And lie
B
When life meets child, your only pride
C B
Can lie
B
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
C B
And lie
Bmaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
B
She met a pretty boy
A
And they would dance between their elders
E
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
B (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
A
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
E
From her school
B
Her colors matched the room
A
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
E
When her friends left town
B
The kid across the street
A
He'll keep around when she was changing
E
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
B
Her mother died at home
A
She had saliva in her pockets
E
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day
Esus9
Oh little chocolate girl

Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
D#m C#m
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
F# G#m
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
F# B
Cause I can't see you
F# G#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 C 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
