[Verse]
D
In cycles
Dmaj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
D
Where grass grows
Dmaj7
And remnants of you in placation
D
Your breath sounds
Dmaj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
D
In blue gowns
Dmaj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
Dmaj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
Eb D
And lie
D
When life meets child, your only pride
Eb D
You lie
D
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
Eb D
And lie
Dmaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
D
She had a pretty dad
C
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
G
Until she wanted to
D (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
C
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
G
Until he wanted to
D
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
C
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
G
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
D
Still she had to speak loud
Dmaj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
D
And eats in
Dmaj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
D
And cries late
Dmaj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
D
And prays long
Dmaj7
In hopes of something better for the children
D
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
Eb D
And lie
D
When life meets child, your only pride
Eb D
Can lie
D
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
Eb D
And lie
Dmaj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
D
She met a pretty boy
C
And they would dance between their elders
G
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
D (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
C
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
G
From her school
D
Her colors matched the room
C
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
G
When her friends left town
D
The kid across the street
C
He'll keep around when she was changing
G
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
D
Her mother died at home
C
She had saliva in her pockets
G
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day
Gsus9
Oh little chocolate girl
Asus4add9
Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
F#m Em
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
A Bm
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
A D
Cause I can't see you
A Bm
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 Eb 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
