so this is a really simple version of this song the verse is Dm,Dm, F,F, Dm,Dm, F,F etc....
and the chours is Dm,F, F,F etc apart from the last two chouri
with "Fyou fooDmlish child" where it changes just a bit
I think its nice with CAPPO ON 1st but its not really necessary!!
DmSome said the local lake had been Dmenchanted
FOthers said it must have been the wFeather
DmThe neighbors were trying to keep itDm quiet
FBut I swear that I could hear the lFaughter
DmSo they jokingly nicknamed it the Dmporridge
F'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick asF butter
BDmut the local kids would still go Dmswimming, dDmrinking
FSaying hat to them it doesn't Fmatter
If you just Dmhold in your Fbreath
Til you Fcome back up inF full
DmHold in your Fbreath
'til you Fthought it through, you, fFool
The genius next door was busing table
Wiping clean the ketchup labels
Getting high and muttering German fables
Didn't care as long as he was able
To strip his clothes off by the dumpster
At night while everyone was sleeping
And wade midway into that porridge
Just him and his secret he was keeping
if you justDm hold in your Fbreath
til you Fcome back up in Ffull
Dmhold in your Fbreath
'til you Fthought it through, you, Ffoollish Dmchild
In the morning the film crews start arriving
With donuts, coffee and reporters
The kids are waking up hung over
The neighbors were starting up their cars
The garbage men were emptying the dumpsters
Atheists were praying full of sarcasm
And the genius next door was sleeping
Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm
if you just hold in your breath
til you come back up in full
hold in your breath
'til you thought it through, you, foollish child
