[Verse]
C#
In cycles
C#maj7
I'll lead you around the excavation
C#
Where grass grows
C#maj7
And remnants of you in placation
C#
Your breath sounds
C#maj7
Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen
C#
In blue gowns
C#maj7
You trace along the house which you have chosen
C#maj7
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
D C#
And lie
C#
When life meets child, your only pride
D C#
You lie
C#
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
D C#
And lie
C#maj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
C#
She had a pretty dad
B
But she was growing out of play-school
Still she could kick and scream and play
F#
Until she wanted to
C# (drums kick back in)
My little chocolate girl
B
Her brother barely out of high school
Lived in a place where he could scream
F#
Until he wanted to
C#
Oh fuzzy tabby cat
B
And she could bury him in apples
and curl around a bowl of cotton
F#
'Til she wanted to
(Back to verse, regular time)
C#
Still she had to speak loud
C#maj7
'Cause hearing isn't hiding the widows
C#
And eats in
C#maj7
And picks her Sunday flowers in the garden
C#
And cries late
C#maj7
Still drinking with the boys until it's ran out
C#
And prays long
C#maj7
In hopes of something better for the children
C#
And holding tightly
When sound is dead we'll sing in time
D C#
And lie
C#
When life meets child, your only pride
D C#
Can lie
C#
When ceilings smile, we'll sleep a while
D C#
And lie
C#maj7
I'll take you for walks on the ocean
[Chorus]
(everything cuts out but guitar, half/time)
C#
She met a pretty boy
B
And they would dance between their elders
F#
And she would cream until the wine she bought had settled in
C# (drums kick back in)
Our little chocolate girl
B
She used to love the stars from England
She slept on records and her marble jewelry
F#
From her school
C#
Her colors matched the room
B
And she would twirl around the curtains
She had a hand to hold her chin up
F#
When her friends left town
C#
The kid across the street
B
He'll keep around when she was changing
F#
And he would wait and she would tell her friends about the boy
C#
Her mother died at home
B
She had saliva in her pockets
F#
She gave a go when her last taste had finally gave up the day
F#sus9
Oh little chocolate girl
Asus4add9
Won’t you leave your name
[Outro](Repeat til end)
Fm D#m
So put your lanterns all across the maze
So I won't feast on folly
G# A#m
Better love the rain who brought the stings endear
And who will pop the triggers
G# C#
Cause I can't see you
G# A#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 D 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
