The Point of It All by Amanda Palmer
(From the record, "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" 2008)

I've written out a bunch on the Dresden Dolls Forum and also just for
friends when they want them. Enjoy and Please Critique if there's something
that's not right!

Standard Tuning (Ernie And Danny Gave Burt Eggs!), No Capo.

[D]2 [A]0 [G]3 [Em]0
3 2 3 0
2 2 0 0
0 2 0 2
x 0 2 2
x x 3 0

This is an extremely simple version of this song. Bass notes can be added,
just play the chords, and find a finger picking pattern that works well for
you and that you think sounds good!

Enjoy!

Intro Notes: D E C# D G F# D B x4
(Last time add an A that's right below that B)

For those of you who don't know notes:


(High)E----------3-2------ (High)E---
B--3-5-2-3-----3-0-- B---
G------------------- G-2-
D------------------- x4 and then the last time add D---
A------------------- A---
(Low)E------------------- (Low)E---


Every time it says 'Intro' in between verses, it means the above x4,
just like the beginning of the song, with the A added on the fourth time.

Intro Chords: D A G

[D]Oh what a [A]noble [G]distinguished collection
of [D]fine little [A]friends you have [G]made
[D]hitting the [A]tables [G]without you again,
"no we'll [D]wait no we [A]promise we'll [G]wait"
well [D]June makes these [A]excellent [G]sewing machines
out of [D]common [A]industrial [G]waste
she [D]spends a few [A]months at a [G]time on the couch
but she's [D]safe she wears [A]shades she wears [G]shades

oh but [Em]no one can stare at the [A]wall as good as [D]you my ba[A]by [G]doll
and you're [Em]aces for coming [A]along
you're almos[D]t human, a[A]fte[G]r all
and you'r[Em]e learning that just 'cause t[A]hey call themselves friends
doesn'[D]t mea[A]n they?[G]?ll call...

[Em]they made the comment in [(A)]jest
[Em]but you've got the needle
[Em]i guess that's the point of i[A]t all

Intro

[D]maybe a [A]week in the [G]tropics would help
to [D]remind you how [A]nice life can [G]be
we [D]propped you right [A]up in a [G]chair on a deck
with a [D]beautiful [A]view of the [G]sea
but a [D]couple weeks [A]later we [G]came back
and you and the [D]chair were [A]nowhere to be [G]seen
you had [D]magically [A]moved to the [G]closet
eyes fixed to the [D]place where the [A]dryer had [G]been

oh, but [Em]no one can stare at the [A]wall as good as [D]you, my ba[A]by[G]doll
and you'r[Em]e aces for comin[A]g along
you're almos[D]t human, a[A]fte[G]r all
why on [Em]earth would i keep you propped [A]up in here
when you so l[D]ove [A]the
[G]fall...?

[Em]the pattern's laid out on th[(A)]e bed
[Em]with dozens of colors of [(A)]thread
[Em]but you've got the needle
[Em]i guess that's th[A]e point in the end

Intro

but it'[D]s better t[A]o waste your da[G]y watching the scenery
[D]change at a [A]comatose [G]rate
than to [D]put yourself [A]in it and [G]turn into one of those
[D]cigarette [A]ads that you [G]hate
but [D]while you were [A]sleeping some [G]men came around
said they [D]had some [A]dimensions to [G]take
[D]i'm not sur[A]e what they wer[G]e talking about
but they [D]sure made a [A]mess of your [G]face

but still, [Em]no one can stare at the [A]wall as good as [D]you, my ba[A]by[G]doll
and you'r[Em]e aces for playin[A]g along
you're almos[D]t human, [A]eve[G]n now

and [Em]just 'cause they call themselve[A]s experts
it doesn't mea[D]n swee[A]t f[G]k all...
[Em]they've got the permanen[(A)]t press
and the [Em]homes with a stable [(A)]address

(always sounds awesome spoken without any background music)
and they've got excitement

and life by the fistful

but you've got the needle

i guess that's the point of it all

Intro (The last time add an A that's an octave above that B)


Awesome song, Amanda Palmer is amazing. Long Live Punk Cabaret! \--/
