Chords with lyrics
Paul played this song on The Sideshow (RIP) back in 2007, and it was pretty neat. Unfortunately, I can't tab
so the solo is missing. Play the asterisked chords barred on fifth (557775 for D MajorD and 577555 for A minorAm). Strumming
is fast-paced and muted by lifting the barring finger off the fretboard.
Kinda dunnnn-da-da-da-da-dunnnn-da-da-da-da. Half and quarter notes at best. If you remember the song,
hopefully this'll get you most of the way there. Someone's been running around on YouTube taking all of Paul's
work from The Sideshow down, but he did a version for Paul McDermott Sings in the Spiegeltent. Clear lyrics,
but nowhere near as uptempo and interesting as The Sideshow version was.
