WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Elliott Smith - Where I Get It From Chords | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
G C G
My daddy was shy, he lived in Cheyenne
D
He turned as red as I've ever seen a man
G C
And his skin was thick, and he was hard as a brick
D Em
And just couldn't talk to no one
D C G
And that must be where I get it from
G C G
My uncle worked in a plutonium mine
D
His job was to set up the dynamite
G C
And he got too close to a charge underground
D Em
And all of his feelings went numb
D C G
And that must be where I get it from
[Chorus]
D C G
Kiyay, yippee eiyo
Em A C
ooooooooooooooooooo
D C G
Kiyay, yippee eiyo
Em A
mmmmmmhhhhhh
[Verse 2]
G C G
My mama was ten feet tall
D
She wasn't afraid of nothing at all
G C
And she said her prayers properly and all
D Em
She swore on a grave and a gun
D C G
And that must be where I get it from
G C G
Great-grandad went mad, he was totally tweaked
D
He wore the same suit every day of the week
G C
And I asked how it feels to be such a freak
D Em
And he said, "You tell me, son"
D C G
And that must be where I get it from
[Chorus]
D C G
Kiyay, yippee eiyo
Em A C
ooooooooooooooooooo
D C G
Kiyay, yippee eiyo
Em A
mmmmmmhhhhhh
[Verse 3]
G C G
Dad's little hands sat in his lap
D
Like a couple of crabs who got caught in a trap
G C
And he shook my hand from so far away that
D Em
He looked like a spot on the sun
D C G
And I guess that's where I get it from
D C G
And I guess that's where I get it from
D C G
And I guess that's where I get it from
