[Verse]
F#
In cycles
F#maj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
F#
Where grass grows
F#maj7
And remnants of you in placation
F#
Your breath sounds
F#maj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
F#
In blue gowns
F#maj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
F#maj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
G F#
And lie
F#
When life meets child, your only pride
G F#
You lie
F#
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
G F#
And lie
F#maj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
F#
She had a pretty dad
E
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
B
Until she wanted to
F# (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
E
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
B
Until he wanted to
F#
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
E
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
B
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
F#
Still she had to speak loud
F#maj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
F#
And eats in
F#maj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
F#
And cries late
F#maj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
F#
And prays long
F#maj7
In hopes of something better for the children
F#
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
G F#
And lie
F#
When life meets child, your only pride
G F#
Can lie
F#
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
G F#
And lie
F#maj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
F#
She met a pretty boy
E
And they would dance between their elders
B
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
F# (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
E
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
B
From her school
F#
Her colors matched the room
E
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
B
When her friends left town
F#
The kid across the street
E
He'll keep around when she was changing
B
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
F#
Her mother died at home
E
She had saliva in her pockets
B
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day
Bsus9
Oh little chocolate girl
Asus4add9
Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
A#m G#m
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
C# D#m
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
C# F#
Cause I can't see you
C# D#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 G 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
