Meat Puppets - Plateau chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Some campy, strummy chords for the classic song. I found many versions of this song were overly complicated if you just want to strum, so I arranged it "campfire style." Enjoy! Plateau - The Meat Puppets - Capo 3 for recorded pitch Intro - Em G Em G Em G D2 Verse 1 Em G Em G Em G D2 Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau Em G Em G Em G D2 Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know Em G Em G Em G D2 Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand Em G Em G Em G D2 FM7 To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/meat-puppets/376646.html ] Chorus Em G Em G The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop Em G D2 And an illustrated book about birds Em G Em G You see a lot up there but don't be scared Em G Em G D2 (Em G Em G Em G D2) Who needs action when you got words Verse 2 Em G Em G When you've finished with the mop then you can stop Em G D2 And look at what you've done Em G Em G The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen Em G D2 FM7 And the work it was fun (Chorus) Verse 3 Em G Em G Em G D2 Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Em G Em G Em G D2 Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mex-i-co Em G Em G Em G D2 Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood Em G Em G Em G D2 FM7 But those were all just guesses wouldn't help you if they could Em:022000 G:320003 D2:x00230 FM7:x03210 or CM7+13:033200 Instead of regular FM7, you can play what looks like an E Major chord, one fret higher; its some sort of CM7:033200 The second option will sound more dissonant but really sounds like what they are playing in the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ715u6jO_Y  |
