Email: xander.madsen@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
I hadn't found the chords anywhere before and decided to figure it out.
Surprisingly easy for such a masterpiece of a song.
---Chords---
Em 022000
G 320033
Cmaj7 x32000 //Cmaj7 can easily be livened up by tossing your pinky onto the
third fret of the high E string
D xx0232
Good luck! If you have any questions about it, email me. I'd be glad to respond.
Here goes!
Em
I see a sea anemone
G
The enemy
Cmaj7
See a sea anemone
And that'll be the end of me.
Em G Cmaj7
While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils
Underneath her tender gills
Em G
I will become this animal
Cmaj7
Perfectly adapted to the music halls
Em G
I will become this animal
Cmaj7
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal
G
Hold on just a second
D
Don't tell me this one you know
Cmaj7
I know this one I know this song //This section here is very strange, as far as timing goes.
//You'll want to come in right on the word "tell" for the D
I know this one I love this song //and right on the word "know" for the
Cmaj7. It feels weird at first,
//but once you get it, it'll flow pretty nicely.
G
Hold on just a second
D
Don't tell me this one you know
Cmaj7
I know this one I know this song
I know this one I love this song
I know this one
Em G Cmaj7 (x2)
Em
Underneath the stalactites
G Cmaj7
The troglobites lost their sight
Uh oh
Em G
The seemingly innocuous plecostomus
Cmaj7
though posthumus
They talk to us
They talk too much
Em
See a sea anemone
G
The enemy
Cmaj7
See a sea anemone
That'll be the end of me
Em
Vicious fish was caught unawares
G Cmaj7
In the tend'rest tendrils
Underneath her tender gills and
Em G
I will become this animal
Cmaj7
Perfectly adapted to a music hall
Em G
I will become this animal
Cmaj7
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal
The break w/ weird timing (starts around 2:18) is just in 7/8, easily counted as 1 2 1 2 1 2 3...(at least that's what I do)
Also, the first section of the song (up to the break), while it can work out to 4/4, can also be counted as two 3/4 bars followed by one 2/4 bar...Whichever is easier.
Great tune. Even better live!
