This song is actually pretty simple, its just E and A. Ive found it sounds
best when played with a capo at the 4th fret, which would make the E into
a C shape and the A into an F shape.. hope thats not too confusing, I play
it like this:
(All relative to capo at 4)
E (C/G shape) A (F shape) and E2
x x 3
1 1 5
0 2 5
2 3 5
3 3 3
3 x x
On the intro it sounds good to play only on the 5th, 4th, and 3rd
strings of that E.
"Banshee Beat"

Oh there'll be time - to get by - to get dry - after the swimming pool
Oh there'll be time - to just cry - i wonder why - it didnt work out
Oh therell be time - to fish fry - for letters by - yours truly
Yours truly
E A

E ASomeone in my dictionary's up to no good
I Enever find the very special words I should
So I Ahave another party with a water glass
and I Esit on all your actions its a birthday game
and I'll bet he needs a shower cause hes just like me
and the soldiers in the painting know your secret fate
Well your parrot told me just how I can make you smile
Gonna let you do your thinking if you need awhile but
what I gave you made him get mad
A little bit funny how a thing like that
Could travel from one mouth in through another
and the next thing you know you gotta hear it from your brother and
The words they sting like a stump of old wasps
Remember when I said go throw the rock in there
and we ran through the woods to our good house
You forgot about the things that he could say like
I dont think that I like you anymore
Well I found new feelings at the feeling store
and I cant find you at our kissing place
and im scared of those new pair of eyes you have so
AI duck out and go down to find the swimming E2pooooooooool
Hop a Afence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming Epool
Cause when AI'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find the swimming E2pool
Hop a Afence, leave the street and wet my feet to find the swimming Epool
But I don't wish that I was dead
A very old friend of mine once said
that either way you look at it you have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
But confusions not a candy store in my brain
but we're miscommunicating do we feel the same?
Then either way you look at it you have your fits
I have my fits but feeling is good
I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool
Cause when I'm snuffed out I doubt I'll find the swimming pool
Hop a fence, leave the street and wet my feet to find the swimming pool
You gotta give a little, you gotta get a little bit
