Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie Chords
The other tab is a half-step too high, and had a few chord changes out of place or lacking.
You could play this with a Capo on 2:
B = A shape
F# = E shape
E = D shape
G#m = F#m shape
B F#
That means no where I come from. I am cold, out waiting for the day to come.
B B F# E
I chew my lips, oh and I scratch my nose, feels so good to be a rose.
B
Oh don't, don't you lift me up like I'm that shy, no no no no no,
F#
just give it up –
E F# B
There are bats all dissolving in a row
E F# G#m
into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go.
B
I cannot let go, so I thank the lord, and I thank his sword!
F# G#m
'tho it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored.
B E B E
O, morning without warning like a hole, and I watch you go.

B F# E
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
B F# E
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold.
B F# E
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly.
B E B F# E
and some bellies ache with many bumblebees. (and they sting so terribly).
B
I do as I please. Now I'm on my knees.
F# G#m
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea.
E G#m
And I am watching you and you are starry, starry, starry
B F# E
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown.
B
It's why I love this town. Well, just look around:
G#m
to see me serenaded hourly! celebrated sourly!
E F# B
dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea –
F# E F# G#m
clam, crab, cockle, cowrie : will you just look at me?
B D B F# E x3 (3rd time) F# B
Oh… Hmm
