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# A e - - - - 3 (3) 0 5 B 7 7 7 7 3 (3) 0 5 G 7 7 7 7 4 4 0 6 D 7 7 7 7 5 5 2 7 A 5 4 - (5) 5 5 2 7 E - - 7 5 3 2 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 |
