Elephant Elephant chords by Evelyn Evelyn

Chords with lyrics

Song: "Elephant Elephant"
Artist: Evelyn Evelyn
Album: Evelyn Evelyn (2010)

Notes: The bass for most of the chords is doing an "Oompah" kind of rhythm of quarter notes alternating
between the root and fifth of the chord. For example on the FF chord, the bass is playing F,C,F,C
and for the C majorC chord, it plays C,G,C,G, etc. I'm going to write those out as FF and F/C, C majorC and C/G, etc.
The easiest way to play that is to play the all the chords as barre chords and move your first finger to
get the changing bass notes. There's a lot of little bass runs between chords too, but they're easy.
You can figure them out on your own, just use your ears.
