Cm G7
We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

Cm Eb Ab G
Cm H7

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Cm Eb Ab G7
Cm G7

Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam

Down, down

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down

Let's rock!

Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

Okkervil River - A Hand To Take Hold Of The Scene

I've lost where I got this from. Transposed up a few semitones, too.


*Verse 1*


/Gm / ... /F / ...
I'm a band in a show about a man holding hands with his wife

/Gm / ... / ...
on a therapist's couch, with his face to the ground (after fucking around
/F / ...
countless nights)

/D# / ... /F / ...
and, in this one episode, close-up cameras are showing him crying,

/Cm /D# /F
his red head and his red eyes.




*Verse 2*


/Gm / ... /F / ...
I'm a band in a show about a boy being buried alive,

/Gm / ... / ...
from his head to his toes, by a criminal (but with a sensitive soul!) with
/F / ...
a set of raccoon eyes,

/D# / ...
and there's this scene in the show when a hustler knows
/F / ...
he's gonna die.

/Cm /D# /F
The ground opens and he climbs inside.




*Chorus*


/A# /F /Cm
And as he speaks his last line, a thought falls from his mind and I pick it
/D# /F / ...
up right through the TV:

/Cm / ... /D# /... /F
Oh oh Is there a hand to take hold of the scene?




*Post-Chorus*


/A# / ... /Cm / ... /F / ... /D# / ...




*Verse 3*

/Gm / ... /F / ...
I'm a man in a dream and there, dancing in front of my eyes,

/Gm / ... / ...
is a queen - formed out of flaws, with her eyes all gone odd and a rod
/F / ...
bolted into her spine.

/D# / ... / ...
She rises up like a yawn. She grips my heart like a claw. She splits apart
/F / ...
like a jaw, like an eye.

/Cm /D# /F
And she asks me with a sigh,




*Chorus*


/A# /F /Cm
When we're so far from right, when we're losing the fight, when we're
/D# /F / ...
letting the light weaken its beam -

/Cm / ... /D# /... /F
Oh oh Is there a hand to take hold of the scene?




*Post-Chorus*


/A# / ... /Cm / ... /F / ... /D# / ...


/A# / ... /Cm / ... /
I want a smile like a glistening shard. I want a kiss that's as sharp as a
F / ... /D# / ...
knife. The day expires, and the

/A# / ... /Cm / ... /F / ...
dry, cracked, trembling lips God saw fit to put this kiss inside, I
/D# /A#
lift them up to you.

/Cm /F
I'd like to bear witness to a




*Verse 4*


/Gm / ... /F / ...
light that is fine and is filling the cryingest eyes,
/Gm / ...
grace in each face that is making the wastedest,
/ ... /F / ...
brokenest ones fairly fly,

/D# / ... /F /...
love that is innocent of that old cynical, covetous, cancerous vibe,

/Cm /D# /F
and a beauty that annihilates all




*Chorus*


/A# /F /Cm
life like it's lived in these nights, holding your hatred tight like a sign
/D#
that you're right or you're strong.


/A# /F /Cm
When your doors are shut tight, I will dream you tonight, and my dream will
/D#
just sweep you along.


/A# /F /Cm
When all fires are fanned, when we're shucking our plans, when we're too
/D# /F / ...
weak to stand on our two feet


/Cm / ... /D# /... /F
Oh oh Is there a hand to take hold of the scene?



A# F / ... A# F / ... A# F / ... A#

Maxïmo_Park - Kiss You Better

From [www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com]


Intro... (play confidently and sharply)

D# (one fast strum)- A# (another fast strum)- G (all X four)

Verse-

D# A# G#

I know the night has reached that stage again,

D#
Where I never wanna see my home,

A# G#
I know that you'll provide the brains,

D#
But who'll provide the brawn,

A# G#
And if it comes down to me and him,


You know I'd kiss you better,

D# A# G#
I kept the message you sent to me...




Chorus- (now this is trickier to get the timing, but on 'bare-with',
do two hard strums of C... and on the rest of the chorus, use the G*
and G by hammering on and off the barre at the right points. The song
Will give the best timing for it- so just listen to it.)

C C G G*...G...G*.. etc

Bare with me,


If youre scared,


My beliefs make me bound



Verse 2-
D# A# G#

I think its time we compiled a list,

D#
Of places where we shouldnt go,

A# G#
Now is not the time to lose your voice,

D#
Everyone should have a choice,

A# G#
And if you should ever fall,


You know I'd kiss you better,

D# A# G#
I kept the letters that you sent to me


Chorus- (same strumming.. just different lyrics...)

C C G ...G*...G..G*.. etc
Close your eyes,

If you're scared,

My beliefs will make you drown

Break- (single strums of Bb and F for the first two lines,
then go for strumming them faster on the other two)

Bb F G
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen
You, are you so scared that your just gonna let it happen


etc...

outro-

D#, A#, G# (times four, again)

Solo, over the verse progression. It's two guitars in unison, playing
different lines. This is a good approximation of the steadier, lower one.
It swings a little. Listen to the CD for the rhythm:

I'll have to do the best I can
E A
and jump in the river and swim.
A
If you should find the truth some day

E E/F# E
Float away...


Repeat solo over verse riff, then

D A E A
There you go my shaking soul is in these hands.
D A
We're waiting here for you -
B
it's been a long day, such a long day *start fade*
D A
and when you come to town
E A
you will find us on our knees -

INTRO:

I got off work just past 11
C#m
Laid one finger to the breeze
A
You can almost taste the action
F#m B7
On nights like these

Trees were bending in the wind
C#m
And you were 40 miles away

And I was headed your direction

I've been waiting all day, I've been waiting all day

Moon over West Covina

Headed towards the light

Feel the wind in my hair

Keep a light up in your window

And I made my way down the street toward your place
F#m B7
Stepping lightly in the dark
E
Climbed the steps up to your doorway
C#m
Like a man prepared to jumped beneath a train
A
It's real warm outside tonight
F#m B7
Maybe tomorrow it rains, maybe tomorrow it rains

||: E Am B7 :||

E
Inside your room we shut the window
C#m
And we turned on a fan
A
And we lay there together in the darkness
F#m B7
I can keep a secret if you can
E
Finishing one another's sentences
C#m
Like a pair of identical twins
A
Your boyfriend's out of town until Tuesday

Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra doing it:

Obligatory first post.

Hey, dudes. Dudes, I love my ukulele. It's pretty much the best ever. So of course, you gotta make a blog out of that.

I'm sick of bookmarking chords and tabs and then not remembering where I've put them. I'm gonna consolidate my junk here.
