Highlighted Show chord diagrams
so this is a really simple version of this song the verse is Em,Am, D,G, Em,Am, D,G etc.... and the chours is Am,C, D,G etc apart from the last two chouri G Em with "you foolish child" where it changes just a bit I think its nice with CAPPO ON 1st but its not really necessary!! Em Am Some said the local lake had been enchanted D G Others said it must have been the weather Em Am The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet D G But I swear that I could hear the laughter Em Am So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge D G 'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick as butter Em Am Am But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking D G Saying hat to them it doesn't matter [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/regina-spektor/257956.html ] Am C If you just hold in your breath D G Til you come back up in full Am C Hold in your breath D G 'til you thought it through, you, fool The genius next door was busing table Wiping clean the ketchup labels Getting high and muttering German fables Didn't care as long as he was able To strip his clothes off by the dumpster At night while everyone was sleeping And wade midway into that porridge Just him and his secret he was keeping Am C if you just hold in your breath D G til you come back up in full Am C hold in your breath D G Em 'til you thought it through, you, foollish child In the morning the film crews start arriving With donuts, coffee and reporters The kids are waking up hung over The neighbors were starting up their cars The garbage men were emptying the dumpsters Atheists were praying full of sarcasm And the genius next door was sleeping Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm if you just hold in your breath til you come back up in full hold in your breath 'til you thought it through, you, foollish child  |
