Intro:
Am x4
Am Am
A monk with a hard-on, And a lavender robe
Dm E
That scratches his thighs, Through the hat that he strode
Am Am
As he follows a path, Filled with every desire
Dm E Am
And mimics his footsteps, And sets his prayers on fire.
Am Am
Well I too have chosen, That which left no choice
Dm E
To sing without loving,A solitary voice,
Am Am
To observe with passion, Each careful denial
Dm E Am
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eels/alta_boy_crd.html ]
Am Dm
Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds
C F
You're brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
F A#
Standing too close, Pulling your clothes,
E
Smiling at God And the meaning of life grows.
Am Am
No and I'll never tell, And I'll never know
Dm E
What candles you light, After the show
Am Am
And I'll never tell, And I'll never ask
Dm E
The meaning of life after mass.
Am Am7
