Squonk

	  		The intro is basically just like the first verse. 
  
(1) 
Dm7               C/D 
Like father, like son 
 
Dm7                          C/D 
Not flesh nor fish nor bone, a red rag hangs from an open mouth 
 
Dm7                              C/D 
Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle 
 
Dm7                           C/D 
A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go 
 
Em7/A                     F#m7/A  
All the king's horses and all the king's men 
 
      Em7/A                     F#m7/A  
could never put a smile on that face 
 
(2)  follows the same pattern as (1) 
 
He's a sly one, he's a shy one, wouldn't you be too? 
Scared to be left all on his own 
Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with the ugly duckling 
The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes 
All the while in perfect time  
his tears are falling on the ground 
But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance! 
 
This is a "chorus" bit, which comes after: 
   "...don't stand a chance" 
   "...all to see at night" 
   "...you'd better watch out" 
   "...just a pool of tears" 
                                                                      (repeat) 
D(no 3rd) G#o D7   D   G/D             D     A/D       G/D  
 
 
Bridge 1 
 
 
C/D         Dm7             Gm7                Gm        Dmsus2,4   Dmadd9 
Go a little faster now, you might get there in time 
 
F       Am7          Dm7      Dm7  Em7  Dm7  Em7 
Mirror mirror on the wall 
 
    Eb                              Bb           F 
his heart was broken long before he ever came to you 
 
          Am7         Dm7      Dm7  Em7  Dm7  Em7 
Stop your tears from falling 
 
    Eb                                 Bb            F  
The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night 
 
       Am7 
all to see at night 
(to "chorus") 
 
(3)  like (1) 
In season, out of season 
what's the dff'rence when you don't know the reason? 
In one hand bread, the other a stone 
the hunter enters the forest 
All are not huntsmen who blow thw huntsman's horn 
By the look of this one, you've not got much to fear 
 
(4) 
Here I am, I'm very firce and fright'ning 
Come to match my skill to yours 
Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now 
I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you 
Making noises my little furry friend would make 
I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack 
You'd better watch out, you'd better watch out 
(to "chorus", no lyrics this time) 
 
 
Bridge 2  
(just like bridge 1) 
I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away 
Walking home that night 
the sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder 
when suddenly it stopped 
I opened up the sack, all that I had 
a pool of bubbles and tears 
just a pool of tears 
(to "chorus") 
 
Second time through chorus, go up to an A chord on the second half 
of beat 2 (still in 4/4), then go to the ending 
 
Ending 
Bsus4  B                    F#m  
       All in all you are a very dying race 
 
A                    E  
Placing trust upon a cruel world 
 
                  B                   
You never had the things you thought you should have had 
 
    F#m  
and you'll not get them now 
 
             A                                    E             B  
and all the while in perfect time your tears are falling on the ground 
  
 
Where this goes from there, I'm not sure. I think there's a C# after the  
B, but again I'm not entirely sure. But, this is the grand portion of 
Sqounk, so don't let a little thing like the ending stop you from 
enjoying it!
