Think About Your Troubles by Harry Nilsson
in the style of Belly (Tonya Donelly)
I have given the chords here. It's optional, but
I like to keep the feel of the rocking
(as in swaying ;) that's in the beginning
by lifting my finger off of the middle string
that's played in the chord every two full strums.
(ex. 1&2& (lift finger) 3&4&
For the F#m I move fingers 2 and 3 over
one string. ex.strings A,D to D,G
For the intro pluck the b string
alternating an open b string and
second fret for every two plucks.
B=Open B string
2=Second fret on B string
B 2
Sit beside the breakfast table
B 2
Think about your troubles
B 2
Pour yourself a cup of tea
B 2
And think about the bubbles
A (Strum)
You can take your teardrops
AAnd drop them in a teacup
DTake them down to the riversiF#mde
F#mAnd throw them over the side
F#mTo be swept up by a current
And Etaken to the ocean
ETo be eaten by some fishes
Who were Aeaten by some fishes
AAnd swallowed by a whale
Who grew so Dold
He decomF#mposed
F#mDo do do, do do do
F#mHe died and left his body
F#mTo the bottom of the ocean
Now Eeverybody knows
EThat when a body decomposes
The Abasic elements
AAre given back to the ocean
And the Dsea does what it oughta
And F#msoon there's salty water
F#m(That's not too good for drinking)
'ECause it tastes just like a teardrop
E(So they run it through a filter)
And it Acomes out from a faucet
A(And is poured into a teapot)
Which is Djust about to bubble
F#mNow think about your troubleEs
(Now)
ANoooDow F#m
Now, ENow

ANow
Are you sDleeping? can youF#m hear me?
