Phair Liz - Whip Smart Chords

Song Whip-Smart

This is a version of Whip-Smart without a capo and I think its pretty easy to understand.


Verse 1:
 F         C       F      C        A             G
I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green
     C                   G               Bb       C
And whip-smart as the English Channel's wide.
     F         C       F      C         A             G
And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
          C           G                 Bb      C
And his watch on any hand Between his thighs.
     F          C      F      C    A             G     
And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower till I write 
                C           G                      Bb     C
My whole life story on the back of his big, brown eyes.

Chorus:
 F                        Bb                C
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
 F                        Bb                C
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
 F                        Bb                C
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
 F                        Bb                C
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing

Verse 2:
And I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap 
And Games are just another way of life. 
And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes because 
For every truth, there are half a million lies. 
And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower 'Til he learns to let 
His hair down far enough to climb outside. 

Chorus:
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing

Bridge: F Bb C

Chorus: 
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
When they do the double Dutch that's them dancing
