Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
First of all I'd like to say that this is 100% correct, and I'm sure of it because I 
the chords which are conveniently listed with the lyrics in the cd jacket-book-thingy. I'm 
putting the two together and posting them online.(but I might spell something wrong, so lookout!)

[things in brackets [] are things jemaine says]

This is how I play the chords:

  D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F#

B 7  7    7   7  3 (3)  0  5

        D                   D/C#            D/B       D/A
I was wandering through the streets of the city
G                     G/F#        Em            A
Rambling through the avenues of time
           D        D/C#       D/B      D/A
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl
        G            G/F#           Em          A
And by chance her eyes fell onto mine

      D         D/C#       D/B          D/A
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
     G         G/F#     Em           A
She smoked her lavender cigarette
D           D/C#        D/B        D/A
Reading the future that lay in my hands
    G             G/F#         Em(strum once, let ring)
My shadow played a bass clarinet
(Bass clarinet plays, no guitar)
[Where are you going with this, Bret?]

    D             D/C#      D/B         D/A
We waltzed down a moonlight boulevard
     G       G/F#           Em          A
Just two silhouettes in the mist

[Ah, yes?]
D         D/C#    D/B       D/A
Days went by and years went by
G            G/F#       Em         A
Moments went by when we kissed

[When was this?]

               D        D/C#     D/B        D/A
She said, "You beard is woven of heartache
           G            G/F#    Em        A
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight."
         D        D/C#       D/B        D/A
And the moon is a horny old drunkard
      G              G/F#                     Em            A
[Ah, Bret. Could you please move over to your right?]


(There is no guitar in this next part, but I'm sure you've figured out the pattern by 
if you wanna play along anyway)

We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/f/flight-of-the-conchords/204480.html ]
About the moment when we first met that day

[I'm trying to watch TV]

Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced

[Ah yeah. Sounds a bit gay]


She handed me a broken memory

A keepsake to forevermore say

That brief taste of love is as sweet as any

And with that, she made her way


[Oh yeah. What was her name?]

     D        D/C#      D/B       D/A
She said her name was a secret
         G        G/F#       Em       A
Then she said her name was Cherie
         D                 D/C#      D/B       D/A
[Is her middle name Cherie,       so it's a Secret Cherie, maybe?]
G  G/F#    Em       A
      Mm.. Maybe

[What did she look like?]

     D            D/C#     D/B      D/A
She looked like a Parisian river

[What, dirty?]
     G            G/F#         Em       A
She looked like a chocolate éclair

[That's rare]
     D         D/C#          D/B       D/A
Her eyes were reflections of eyes

[Oh, nice]
         G        G/F#          Em       A
And the rainbows danced in her hair

[Oh yeah..]

       D             D/C#           D/B      D/A
She reminded me of a winter's morning

[What, frigid?]
        G        G/F#         Em       A
Her perfume was eau de toilette

[What's that mean?]
        D             D/C# D/B   D/A
She was comparable to Cleopatra

[Quite old?]
              G          G/F#    Em       A
She was like Shakespeare's Juliet

[Thirteen?!]

       D         D/C#     D/B         D/A
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes
      G                    G/F#         Em          A
As we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
   D         D/C#       D/B           D/A
On rivers of ribbon and sailboats of song
G           G/F#                Em                   A
 [Bret, did any of this actually happen?]

(guitar drops out here, but I left the bass notes incase you wanna throw them down)

     D        C#                B          A
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
     G       F#       E
It's true I saw her today
 A   D       C#        B             A
The other details are inventions
        G      F#         E~
Because I prefer her that way
