The other clam crab cockle chords are close. The first is a half step
too high, and both are missing or contain wrong chords.
I put a chord letter every time she plucks a bass root note.
Note: she plays the bass note of the B chord below the low E
on the guitar, so it will sound slightly different on guitar
unless you tune down.
That means Bno, where I come Bfrom.
I am Bcold, out waiting for the F#day to come.
I chew my Blips, and I scratch my Bnose
feBels so good F# to be E a rose. E
Oh don't,B don't you life me Bup
like I'm that Bshy, no no no no no, just give it F#up
There are Ebats all F#dissolving in a Brow
into the Ewishy-washy darF#k that can't let G#m go.
I cannot let Bgo, so I thank the Blord, and I thank his B sword!
'tho it be Bmincing up the F#morning, slightly G#m bored.
O, Bmorning without Ewarning like a Bhole, oF#h and I watch you E go.
There are some Bmornings when the F#sky looks like a Eroad.
There are some Bdragons who were F#built to have and Ehold.
And some Bmachines are dropped from F#great heights lovG#mingly.
and some great Bbellies ache with Emany bumbleBbees
and F#they sting so E terribly. E
I do as I Bplease. Now I'm on my Bknees.
Your skin is Bsomething that I F#stir into my G#m tea.
And I am Ewatching you E
and you are G#mstarry, starry, starry G#m
and I'm tumbling Bdown, and I F#check a Efrown. E
It's why I love this Btown: Well, just look aBround.
just see me G#mserenaded hourly! G#mcelebrated sourly!
Ededicated dourly; E
F#waltzing with the open Bsea - B
F#clam, crap, Ecockle, cowrie : F#will you just look at G#mme?
o wo wo o-Boh owo-Eo-oh owo-Bo-oh F# ohoho Eoh-oh
(repeat twice, then for the last time)
o wo wo o-Boh owo-Eo-oh owo-Bo-oh F# ohoho Eoh-oh F# B
