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
with "Gyou fooEmlish child" where it changes just a bit
I think its nice with CAPPO ON 1st but its not really necessary!!
EmSome said the local lake had been Amenchanted
DOthers said it must have been the wGeather
EmThe neighbors were trying to keep itAm quiet
DBut I swear that I could hear the lGaughter
EmSo they jokingly nicknamed it the Amporridge
D'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick asG butter
BEmut the local kids would still go Amswimming, dAmrinking
DSaying hat to them it doesn't Gmatter
If you just Amhold in your Cbreath
Til you Dcome back up inG full
AmHold in your Cbreath
'til you Dthought it through, you, fGool
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
if you justAm hold in your Cbreath
til you Dcome back up in Gfull
Amhold in your Cbreath
'til you Dthought it through, you, Gfoollish Emchild
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
