Flowering Spade


This guy is the most underrated guy I've ever seen/heard. This song sounds best tuned a whole step down (like the album). Sounds good a half step down. In standard it may be a bit high for us baritones to sing along. Intro: G G/E e|---3--|-3---| A|---0--|-0---| G|---0--|-0---| D|---0--|-0---| A|---2--|-2---| E|---3--|-0---| G(three barrs) G/E G G/E C/G e|--0--| B|--1--| G|--0--| D|--2--| A|--3--| E|--3--| G C/G Em C/G Em He has a flowering spade growing out of his chest D D7 full of magic and healing, G C/G Em C/G Em She is a flowering spade and she moves and she sways D D7 you can see that she feels it. --For the next section play very percussively It looks something like this-- C G A Bm e|----x--x-x-x-|--5--x-x-x--|-----x-x-x--|-7-x-7-7-| B|----5--x-x-x-|--5--x-x-x--|--7--x-x-x--|-7-x-7-7-| G|----5--x-x-x-|--5--x-x-x--|--7--x-x-x--|-7-x-7-7-| D|-------x-x-x-|------------|------------|---------| A|--3----------|------------|------------|---------| E|-------------|3-----------|5-----------|---------| Play the bm* like this e|--2--| B|--3--| G|--4--| D|--4--| A|--2--| E|-----| C G A Bm She's off to dance with the goat boys, C G Bm* D7 He's off to sail through your wide open ocean.

Then if you want to for the Humming section you can do it over the verse G G/E C/F Em C/F Em D D7 And the oop ba badada stuff you can do to percussive progression C G A Bm Hope you like it... Cheers!
