Tuning: E A D G B E

Don't Feed The Trolls by Jonathan Coulton The timing on most of the G to A chords is complicated because it's more of a riff than chords. I believe the riff goes

e|^G3-^B7-^A5-^G3-| B|0-------| G|0-------| D|0-------| A|0-------| E|3-7-5-3-|

So you're sliding the G shape UP to a B, DOWN to an A then BACK to G. The picking pattern also changes to Down-Mute-Mute during the G chords. It's very hard to explain in words. Just listen to the song with what I typed in mind. It may not be 100%, but it'll get you there. [Verse 1]

^D2Lucy had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell ^D2Lucy went to heaven but she still felt like hell So she ^D2only gave it t^Gwo stars ^GWorst place ev^Aer

^D2She's the kind of person, anyway she tries ^D2Always disappointed so she never feels surprised When she is ^D2always disapp^Gointed

[Pre-chorus 1]

^GShe holds my hand like I'm a barbed wire fence ^GDance like they're watching you 'cause they are wat^Aching y^D2ou

[Chorus]

^D And when the bright l^Aights find you ^G Don't let your heart get lazy^A ^D Keep all the worst beh^Aind you ^Bm That stuff will make you craz^Ay

^GDon't read the comments and^A don't feed the trolls ^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls

[Verse 2]

^D2Hello operator, please give me number nine ^D2If you disconnect me I think that would be fine Because all I can ^D2hear is t^Galking ^GSo much talking ^A

^D2Appreciate the outrage, I did the best I could ^D2I thought about your think piece, I don't think it's any good And anyway, I ^D2didn't r^Gead it

[Pre-chorus 2]

^GWho writes this stuff? 'Cause it makes no sense ^GI just checked my privilege and it looks fi^Ane to ^D2me

[Chorus]

^D2 And when the b^Aright lights find you ^G They're gonna shine right through^A you ^D2 Keep all the worst beh^Aind you ^Bm Don't let the words get to yo^Au

^GDon't read the comments and^A don't feed the trolls ^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls

[Verse 3]

The ^D2flies are in the meadow, the bees are in the park ^D2Girls and boys are kissing as we stumble in the dark And we don't ^D2have a lot of t^Gime left

[Pre-chorus 3]

^G You clutch your chest, you fake a heart attack ^G Laugh it up, nothing looks good on me ^G Somebody called, they want their something back ^G I'm not a piece of meat, I guess I'd li^Ake to ^D2be

[Chorus]

^D2 And when the bright lig^Ahts find you ^GBro, come on, bro, don't tase m^Ae ^D2 Keep all the worst beh^Aind you ^Bm That stuff will make you c^Arazy

[Outro]

^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls ^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls ^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls ^GDon't read the comments and ^Adon't feed the trolls

G D2 = xx032x You can play a regular D if you want to though. Or a D5. Whatever sounds best to you.
