Capo: 1
Tuning: E A D G B E
Standard tuning, capo on the first fret. All chords relative to capo.
I've watched several videos of the Weakerthans playing this. Live they play it in D, capo 3, which is the
same key, but they use really odd chord voicings. This will sound very close, but not 100%.
E5 - x799xx
E/Eb - x699xx
[Verse]
EJust one more drink and then I
N.C.should be on my way home.
N.C.I'm not entirely sure
what you're talking abEout.
I've had a really nice tBime,
but Amy dogs need to be fEed.
I must say that in the right lBight,
you lAook like Shackelton.
[Chorus]
EComment allez-vBous ce soir?
Je sAuis comme ci comme Eca.
Yes, a penguin taBught me French
back Ain AntarctiEca.
[Verse]
EOh, I could show you the way
N.C.shadows colonize snow.
N.C.Ice breaking up on the bay
off the Lassiter cEoast.
Light falling over the pBole
as eAvery longitude lEeads
up to your frostbitten fBeet.
AOh, you're very sweet,
[Chorus]
Ethank you for the fBlowers
and the bAook by DerriEda,
but I must be gBetting back to dAear AntarctiEca.
[Bridge]
C#m......Say, do you have a ship, A
and a dozen able men B
that maybe you could lend me? E
Oh, AntarcticaE
Oh, AntarcticaE A
Oh, AntarcticaE ..A.... Oh, Antarctica
