Polly wants a cracker 
G                  D          C      Em
Think I should get off of her first 
G                      D        C     Em
I think she wants some water

Let me clip 
G          Bb
Your dirty wings 
D             C
Let me take a ride
G         Bb
Don't cut yourself
D           C
I want some help 
G         Bb
To please myself
D             C
I've got some rope
G             Bb
You have been told

I promise you
G           Bb
I have been true
D             C
Let me take a ride

I want some help

[Verse]
 
G             D           C          Em
Polly wants a cracker 
G                  D          C      Em
Maybe she would like some food 
G                      D        C     Em
She asks me to untie her 
G              D    C
A chase would be nice for a few 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D        C
It isn't me

We have some seed 
D           C
Let me clip 
G          Bb
Your dirty wings 
D             C
Let me take a ride

Don't cut yourself

Polly says
 
 
[Verse]
 
G             D           C          Em
Polly says her back hurts 
G                  D          C      Em
And she's just as bored as me 
G                      D        C     Em
She caught me off my guard 
G              D    C
It amazes me, the will of instinct 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D        C
It isn't me 
G            Bb
We have some seed 
D           C
Let me clip 
G          Bb
Your dirty wings 
D             C
Let me take a ride
G         Bb
Don't cut yourself
D           C
I want some help 
G         Bb
To please myself
D             C
I've got some rope
G             Bb
You have been told
D         C
I promise you
G           Bb
I have been true
D             C
Let me take a ride
G            Bb
Don't cut yourself 
D           C
I want some help 
G            Bb
To please myself

no guys this is completely wrong 1. its played in power chords (watch the video if you have to) 2. its in Em the basic riff is em g d c the a# is actually bflat power all played as power chords, he got the spacing right so just replace the chords

i think it's good,for begginers.I played polly with chords,instead of power chords,when i first learned to play the guitar.if u keep up with the rytm,the song sounds all right.
