Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
When I tried to tune this song out I realized why is it so peculiar. Besides the strange keys and its effects (<3), the rhythm. The bass line goes one way, the high keys goes the other. When combined it creates a weird but righteous rhythm. I made this chord sheet following what I could get out of the song. It has a mixture of everything in it.
Play at your heart's content:

"Jump out and do you in"
|C|
CG It's not about us holding hands CG I don't have to be on top of your plans well CEm Tuck beneath and I'll show 'em my teeth Dm And I could say I love ya G I'm hiding beneath my dark C Three umbrellas (Green?)
CG Can we talk about the funny things CG When we're hanging out the heavy misleavits CEm Now it should be like all my songs Dm And we're all just like brothers G You see me beneath my dark C Three umbrellas (Green?)
EmF Even if it's you go with me GC Even if it's you hoping further DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas
CG Do other people act like fools? CG I wonder if they feel like we do and CEm Always teasing well I can't imagine Dm If I didn't know ya G I don't take for granted my C Three umbrellas
CG And if you don't wanna talk, let's sing CG That it's been about us finding new things CEm Let's go always pleasing to share with some people Dm But they'll never know ya G Or just how I feel 'bout you C Three umbrellas
EmF Even if it's you go with me GC Even if it's you hoping further DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas
{ GF And you softened my heart on the hopes that you'd care DmC Hope the other girls step on it } x4
EmF Even if it's you go with me GC Even if it's you hoping further DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas
DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas DmC I've been hiding under my three umbrellas
See? It's like the bass just takes off whenever he wants to and the high notes just jangles its way to happiness.
