Thumbelina chords by The Pretenders

Chords with lyrics

Not a lot of Pretenders tunes tabbed out on the net so I thought I would add.

'Thumbelina' is one of the tracks from 1983's Learning to Crawl LP.
Chrissie plays the "E" chord open but the "A" , "B" and "G" chords are barred 'E' at
the 5th 7th and 3rd frets respectively
This song is AWESOME!


Thumbelina - The Pretenders

E MajorE
Hush little baby, don't you cry
When we get to Tucson you'll see why
We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain
For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again
 BB        A augmentedA
What's important in this world
 BB      A augmentedA       E MajorE
A augmentedA little boy, a little girl

E MajorE
Hush little darling, go to sleep
Look out the window and count the sheep
That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat
Across America as we cross America

  BB       A augmentedA
What's important here today
BB       A augmentedA       E MajorE
The broken line on the highway

E-F-#F-G (single notes or barre chords)

G+G          E MajorE
All the love in the world for you, girl
G+G        E MajorE
Thumbelina in a great big scary world

E-F-#F-G (single notes or barre chords)

G+G           E MajorE
All the love in the world for you, girl
G+G         A augmentedA    BB         E MajorE
Take my hand and we'll make it through this world

E MajorE
Hush little baby, my poor little thing
You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring
It must seem strange, love was here then gone
And the Oklahoma sunrise becomes the Amarillo dawn

 BB       A augmentedA
What's important in this life

  BB        A augmentedA       E MajorE
