This is an amazing song off of Beck's new album, "Guero" - one of his finest works.
Timing is tricky in the beginning, I suggest you listen to the song to get the rhythm
down. To help you out, I put the chord on top of the word.
[Verse]
Bb G#
I saw her, yea I saw her
C#
With a black tongue tied
Bb G#
Round the roses a fist pounding on a vending machine
C# Bb
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
(bass enters)
With a noose she could hang from the sun
G# C#
And put it out with the dark sunglasses
Bb
Walking crooked down the beach
G#
She spits in the sand
C#
Where their bones are bleaching
[Chorus]
F G# D# ->
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
She doesn't even know it's wrong
F G# D#->
And you know I'm gonna make it die
Take her where her soul belongs
F G# G
Know I'm gonna steal her eye
F#
Nothing that I wouldn't try
F D# Bb
My summer girl
F D# Bb
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl
[Verse]
I saw her, yea I saw her
With her hands tied back
Her rags are burnin'
Calling out from a landfilled life
Scrawling her name up on the ceiling
Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
White noise, her ears are ringing
Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
[Chorus]
F G# D# ->
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
She doesn't even know it's wrong
F G# D#->
And you know I'm gonna make it die
Take her where her soul belongs
F G# G
Know I'm gonna steal her eye
F#
Nothing that I wouldn't try
F D# Bb
My summer girl
F D# Bb
Hey my summer girl
My summer girl
Hey my summer girl
