Capo 2nd fret
Intro/Outro:
[G] [Em]
[Am] [D]
Main Part (verses):
[G] [Em]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/laura_stevenson_and_the_cans/barnacles_tab.html )
[Am] [D]
[G]Scrape these [Em]barnacles,[Am] I am w[D]hole again.
[G] Finally [Em]purified or wh[Am]atever t[D]hat means
[G] Put your [Em]back in it, [Am] they laid their [D]roots deep
[G]Within the paint. Fr[Em]ee me, free [Am]me from their [D]teeth, but [C]don't cut too deep.
(Repeat chord progression)
Scrape these barnacles, I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And scrub the sweat away, make me clean
Please pull the bad dreams out of me
Scrape these barnacles, I am utterly yours
Take my lack of control and swallow it whole
Break my excuses to leave over your bony knees
And free me, free me, free me, free me, I am utterly yours
(The ending is: G Em Am Cm(barre chord) )
Thats how the whole song goes. Theres the stopping and starting parts but its still the
same chord progression.
If you are playing to the album version of the song
after the horn break theres a part that goes: C G C G C before going back into the
Main Part.
I hope this is helpful
