Transpose up
(INTRO)
Don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, babe
If you don’t really care
Em
You wanted me sadder, you wanted me sadder
D
Fishtail, what’s the matter
A
with
that?
G
(VER)
Em
Skippin’ rope in the bayou, bayou
D
Slip softly in terrain
A
Not that smart, but I’ve got
G
things to say
Em
Palm trees in black and white
D
I like to watch them sway
A
You’re so funny
I wish
G
I could skinny-dip inside your
Em
mind
(PRE CHO)
Lately, I’ve been
D
thinkin’
About how things used to
A
be
Swingin’ in a
G
nightgown
Underneath the old oak
Em
tree
Almost Victori
D
an with you
You can talk to
A
me
But, lately, I can see
(CHO)
You wanted me sadder
Em
(Baby)
You wanted me sadder
D
Can’t you
G
see
it?
A
For
Em
me, you are the one
And if I’m
D
not the one for you
Don’t just
G
say
it
F#m
Em
I was on the stairs
Ella Fitzgerald in the
D
air
Feelin’ hella rare
Baby, if you
G
care
Baby, don’t you dare say
F#7
You’ll braid my hair, babe
Em
Don’t you dare say
D
That you’ll braid my hair, babe
If
G
you don’t really care
A
You wanted me sadder
(VER)
Em
Dancin’ there in the hot, hot sun
D
I know that we’ve got problems
A
I plan to address them a
Em
nother
day
Em
Palm trees in black and white
D
I see in technicolor
A
Maybe I’ll take my glasses
Em
off
So I stop painting red flags
Em
green
(PRE CHO)
Em
Lately, I’ve been
D
sunnin’ in the L.A. river
G
bed
Wearin’ nothin’
A
but the summer bruises on my
Em
knees
I like how you talk,
D
how you speak, how you look at
G
me
But, lately, I can
D
see
(CHO)
You wanted me sadder
Em
(Baby)
You wanted me sadder
D
You wanted me sadder
D
Can’t you
G

it?
For
Em

And if I’m
D

Don’t just

I was on the stairs
Ella Fitzgerald in the
D

Feelin’ hella rare
