[Verse]
E
In cycles
Emaj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
E
Where grass grows
Emaj7
And remnants of you in placation
E
Your breath sounds
Emaj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
E
In blue gowns
Emaj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
Emaj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
F E
And lie
E
When life meets child, your only pride
F E
You lie
E
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
F E
And lie
Emaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
E
She had a pretty dad
D
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
A
Until she wanted to
E (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
D
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
A
Until he wanted to
E
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
D
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
A
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
E
Still she had to speak loud
Emaj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
E
And eats in
Emaj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
E
And cries late
Emaj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
E
And prays long
Emaj7
In hopes of something better for the children
E
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
F E
And lie
E
When life meets child, your only pride
F E
Can lie
E
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
F E
And lie
Emaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
E
She met a pretty boy
D
And they would dance between their elders
A
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
E (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
D
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
A
From her school
E
Her colors matched the room
D
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
A
When her friends left town
E
The kid across the street
D
He'll keep around when she was changing
A
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
E
Her mother died at home
D
She had saliva in her pockets
A
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day

Oh little chocolate girl
Asus4add9
Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
G#m F#m
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
B C#m
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
B E
Cause I can't see you
B C#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 F 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
