Gmaj G5/F# Em Tell them I've been licking coconut skins G6/add9 G5/F# G and we've been hanging out Gmaj G5/F# Em Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins G6/add9 G5/F# G And relieve us our doubt Bridge: Gmaj G5/F# Em G6/add9 G5/F# G Same chord pattern… You can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for: Tell her you're searching for her soul! You can wait for ages And watch your compost turn to coal But time is contagious: Everybody's getting old. You can sit on chimneys And put some fire up your ass! No need to know What you're doing or looking for: But if anyone should ask? Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins And we've been hanging out! Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins And relieve us our doubt. www.TAB6.com
