Our Secret chords by Beat Happening

Tuning: Half-Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)



The whole song is actually just this measure played over and over:

eb|--0--0----------------0--|
Bb|--3--3--1--0----1--0--3--|
Gb|--0--0----------------0--|
Db|-------------------------|
Ab|-------------------------|
Eb|-------------------------|

But if you want to play and sing, these chords would be "better" to play:

G: 3-2-0-0-3-3
Em: 0-2-2-0-0-0
C: x-3-2-0-1-0

G Em G C x2

      G              Em

I was walking through the store

  G            Em        G             C
I saw a pretty girl, she held open the door

G        Em            G                   C
I said I like you, she said that she liked me

    G           C
And we could be friends

       G              Em       G        C
In our special secret way

We should go swimming in Capitol Lake

   G            Em      G                C
We had a lot of fun but then it got real late

G               C

And had dinner with her family
