===== Sinaloan Milk Snake Song =====
Version 1
Sinaloan Milk Snake Song
(Everybody Ready? Uh Yeah! Um-Hmm.)
C G G# C
Sun Melts Everything Down, And The Hills Are Reduced To Nothing
C G G# C
The Whole House Shakes, And You Can See That The Coach Is Coming
C G F C
You Lean Down And You Pick Up The Small Soft Eggs In The Dust Outside My Door
C G G# C
I Hold Them In My Hands, They Are Warm And The Air Is Warming Up Now
C G F C
I've Got A Message For You, If I Could Only Remember
I've Got A Message For You, But You're Gonna Have To Come And Get It
La La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La La
Ever Since I Came Here, All I Could Think About Is Water
Last Night They Brought The Fat Lamb In From The Fold
But I Couldn't Bring Myself To Do Anything About It
I Remember California, I Remember Malibu
I Remember The States And The Names Of The Cities But I Don't Remember You
And I've Got A Message For You, If I Could Only Remember
I've Got A Message For You, But You're Gonna Have To Come And Get It
I've Got A Message For You, I've Got A Message For You, 2 3 4
La La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La La (2X, Etc.)
Ya!
Whoo
Huh-Huh-Huh Huh Huh
Ay
[Laughs]
Version 2
Capo 2 in E-Standard
I think this works a bit better with the album version of this song.
The verses follow an E-B-C (I-V-vi) format, while the chorus changes to E-B-A (I-V-IV)
