The B52s - Rock Lobster

A
E-----------4-1-4-3
C-0-2-3-2-0
G



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!

Now the rainy season reminds me of Maria
The way she danced, the color of her hair
Now I'm locked inside a stall at the cantina
Eating the bananas and the cocaine off the mirror
Looking for a ticket to take me away from here

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

Mountain Goats - Alibi

INTRO:
||: E Am B7 :||

E
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
E
Trees were bending in the wind
C#m
And you were 40 miles away
A
And I was headed your direction
F#m B7
I've been waiting all day, I've been waiting all day

||: E Am B7 :||

E
Moon over West Covina
C#m
Was huge and white
A
And I was like a patient on a table
F#m B7
Headed towards the light
E
Leaned toward the centre divider
C#m
Feel the wind in my hair
A
Keep a light up in your window
F#m B7
I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there

E Am
With a gleam in my eye
E C#m
And an almost air tight
Am B7
Alibi

E C#m Am B7
E

E
Down by the chemistry building
C#m
I found a quiet place to park
A
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
F#m B7
And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in

E Am
With a gleam in my eye
E C#m
And an almost air tight
Am B7
Alibi

E C#m Am B7

E Am B7 x 4 and end on E

But it wasn't because I didn't know (F)enough
I just knew too (E7)much

Does that make me (Am)crazy
Does that make me (C)crazy
Does that make me (F)crazy
(E7)Probably

(Am)And I hope that you are having the time of your (C)life
But think (F)twice,
that's my only (E7)advice

(Am)Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you,
who do you think you (C)are,
Ha ha ha bless your (F)soul
You really think you're in (E7)control

Well, I think you're (Am)crazy
I think you're (C)crazy
I think you're (F)crazy
Just like (E7)me
