This song is basically a polka beat with the chords alternating the root with the lower 4th.
Walk in between chord sections.
-When playing the Em alternate with the low B note
-When playing the D alternate with the low A note
Intro: Em D
Verse 1:
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go or where we have came, from
These veins of mine are now some sort of fuse
And when they light up and my mind blows up, my heart is amused so
This heart of mine is just some sort of map
That doesn't care at all or worry about, where the hell you're at but you're right there!
(riff)
Verse 2:
Well I've been meaning to dismiss you, yeah I have some plans to dismiss you
So stand by, by, by, by, bye-bye, wave bye sugar boats!
As soon as you paint every last grain of sand, as you soon as you paint every star,
In the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, sky, wave bye sugar boats!
Well, I'm swatting at mosquitoes as they're orbiting me
I'm orbiting the sun and this goes on and on and on, you see
This heart of mine is just some, some broke machine
And when it gets a-goin' and it often gets goin', it starts blowin' steam, here we go again!
(riff)
Verse 3:
This rock of ours is just some big mistake
And we will never know just where we go, or where we have came, from
This watch of mine is like some sort of void
Cause when I look in and I shouldn't look in I, I see it swallow my time, oh no there it goes!
(riff)
Verse 4:
I ain't getting on no fast plane, hell, I ain't getting on no stuffy train
Sugar boats on the Atlantic are fine, the sugar boats, they're just fine
I'll stand on the deck so you could see
I'll stand on the deck you could wave bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye,
bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye......
(end)
