Eskimo chords by Louden Swain
Guitar chords with lyrics
The verses are difficult because there's no lead guitar, but I'll put some sort of chords for them anyway.
Also you don't have to put the Am in, I don't think Rob does, but it makes a nice extra flourish I guess.
And the chords aren't in the exact place above the lyrics but hey it does the job. :)
Em D C
I once spoke to a meter maid
Em D C
She said she liked the work but not the pay
Em D C Em D F
Writing tickets while you run away?Afraid
Em D C
Said hey to a polar bear
Em D C
Said he liked it here but not over there
Em D C
That?s what its like inside a dragon?s lair
Em G Am
The ice is fading back
Em G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
G C
You can show him everything you know
C (Am) C
He still gonna build it out of snow
Em G
gonna take my long division down to Mexico
C
I can divide ?all night
Em D C x3
Em D F
Em D C
Said hey to an astronaut
Em D C
Said he wishes he could pick his spot
Em D C
Said he likes to go out a lot
Em G Am
and not quite make it back
Em G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
G C
You can show him everything you know
C (Am) C
He still gonna build it out of snow
Em G
I?m gonna take my ticket and kick it down in Mexico
C
I?m gonna fly, all night
(Not as sure about the chords here. Corrections would be appreciated because they may be wrong)
C Em G
(Been around the world,)Been around the world and I?ve seen
C Em G
(Enough to know what I mean) Don't you know what I mean
C Em G
(this ticking in my mind) Got this ticking in my mind
G
And its about time
Em D C
Set the record with Joan of arc
Em D C
She knew her destiny before the spark
Em D C Em D F
She got the orders and she played her part
Em G
Its like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
G C
You can show him everything you know
C (Am) C
He still gonna build it out of snow
Em G
I?m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below
C
I can survive
All night?
Yeah!
The guitar solo is pretty easy so I'll just add it here. If you don't want to play the solo just play the
chorus chords.

I haven't been able to work them out but I hope this is enough :) Last updated:
