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#
