This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
I will try to separate the lyrics by what I think is Panda singing in [brackets.]
It's easier to play with a capo on 1 so I wrote it out that way.
-----Capo 1-----
(All chord shapes relative to capo)
G
[Verse 1]
G
Child [of limousines]
C
What's the best place, [That you have seen]
D
All of the hands, [That you have shook]
C
Home of the queen of, [Everything fancy]
G
Is there a smell, [That you can tell]
C
Gives you some peace, [Sends you to hell]
D
All of the beds, [That you have yearned]
C
Is there a dream to, [Where you’d return]
G
Where is the plight, [With the most stars]
C
Where do you drink, [By Echo guitars]
D
What’s the best shore, [Seen from a boat]
C
Miniature heads that, [Color the shore line]
G
If you could rest, [A minute to tell]
C
Get me some grass, [Iridescent shells]
D
I know there’s a nest, [Fit with a hatch]
C
Sunset a glowin’, [Makes us all sweaty]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G C
Well, I don’t even know where to begin or how I should start these days
D C
[The green mountain south or,] The Clay of the westerns
G C
The Maryland meadows at midnight they do have a misty grace
D C
[Take a trip to blue bayou,] Find Roy Orbison cryin’
G C
A continent molded from glass or maybe a town I can taste
D C
[Dresses that glow on,] Girls from Barcelona
G C
I wanna discover the key and open the everywhere place
D C
[A mix of sky from Montana,] Dipped in FloriDada
[Chorus]
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada

[Verse 2]
G
Old [demented men]
C
Where is the place, [We can extend]
D
Crooked state lines, [Polka dot signs]
C
Say that this place is, [A state of mind]
G
Pretty lip girls, [Paint me the halls]
C
Not on a street, [Not near a mall]
D
Raise me a thumb, [From human skin]
C
That isn’t judged by, [Where it begins]
G
Show me the clams, [Show me the pearls]
C
Mail me a note, [Sent from a world]
D
That isn’t so far, [And always right here]
C
Where all the boundaries, [Have disappeared]
G
And all the nights, [Are stitched with a glue]
C
That’s sticking to me, [And I’ll stick to you]
D
And I’ll take your hands, [You’ll take my face]
C
And everywhere home will, [Be a good place]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G C
I found myself there a collagin’ with all of the human race
D C
[A dancer from Ghana,] Smiling in Tijuana
G C
I Frankenstein java with touches of Prada and corn on the plates
D C
[A smear of gardenia,] In the fair hair of Sweden
G C
And maybe I actually visited some sort of mythical place
D C
[Or was it a future,] Connected by sutures
G C
Oh let’s go get lost in the image I made of the everywhere place
D C
[I see the lads from Osaka,] Dyed in FloriDada
[Chorus]
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada
[Bridge]
C Bm
(Where’s) [the bridge that’s gonna take me home]
D
A bridge that someone’s fighting over
C
[A bridge that someone’s paying for]
A bridge so old so let it go
x4
[Chorus]
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada
G C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D C
FloriDada, FloriDada
