The Dead Milkmen The Guitar Song Lyrics

Dead Milkmen - The Guitar Song
Email:
Really easy, but a great song. Even those who don't like the
Milkmen (blasphemy!) might like this. I think the C/G in the
second line of the verses is right, as from Joe's tabs he's
pretty fond of that chord, and I couldn't decide whether it
was a C or a G!
those that don't know! It is played as a normal C, but with
a G on the low E. Hence C/G is 332010 rather than x32010.
Hope that clears it up!
The only bit I'm worried about is the keyboardy chords at the
end. You could always just finish on the F... that'd work!
One of my absolute favourite Milkmen songs. Even though it's
one of the "straighter" songs. An absolute classic and the
humour is all in the delivery, from the quintessential Joe
guitar solo to the screaming at the end.

Verse:
Hey Kitten, whatcha doin'?
Wanna play the guitar?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
It's the guitar
Verse:
Hey baby, whatcha doin'?
Playin' with your rattle and plastic car?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
You say, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
It's the guitar

Verse:
Hey mama, where ya goin'?
I hope you're not going very far
Because what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
Tell me what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
Hey, what's that sound
Coming out of the hole in the wood?
