Scott plays the song with an accordian but I think it sounds best with these barre chords:
-5-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-6-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-7-----9-----7-----6------------------------|
-7-----10----8-----7------------------------|
-5-----10----8-----7------------------------|
-5-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
Dm C Bb A
The bass line goes A G F E
Dm
I'ma tell my eyes not to see no colours,
C
Gonna tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Bb
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
A
Keep my eyes on you,
I don't need no others.
Dm
Throw away all my old letters,
C
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
Bb
I got a picture of you to replace the sky,
A
If I lose you in a crowd
I'll sit down and I cry.
Dm - C - Bb - A
Dee dee dee...dee-a
I said Dee dee dee...
Dm
I got a tin foil hat to keep me from dreaming,
Bb
Gonna sip my wine and stare at the ceiling,
Bb
I'ma gonna keep my smiles in the bread box,
Till you get home
A
And choke them down with water
When you leave me all alone.
Dm
I'm gonna tell my eyes not to see no colors,
C
Gonna tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Bb
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
A
I'll keep my eyes on you,
I don't need no others.
Dm
I throw away all my old letters,
C
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
Bb
Got a picture of you to replace the sky,
A
If I lose you in the crowd
I'll lay down
I'll lay down
I'll lay down
I'll lay down
I'll lay down
Dm
And I'll die
Dm - C - Bb - A
Dee dee dee...dee-a
I said dee dee...
A
I don't need
I don't need
I don't need
I don't need
Dm
I don't need no others.
