CAMPFIRE SONG (from The Lightning Thief The Percy Jackson Musical)
* = only strum once
Otherwise, strum D, D, U
(Also, you don't have to play the C over the spoken lines, but you can if you don't just want dead air)
[Chorus]
F C G C
Oh, things couldn't be worse
F C G C
When your parents run the universe
F C G Am
Oh, things couldn’t be worse
F C G C
When your folks run the universe
[LUKE]
F C
My dad is Hermes
G C
He messengers things
F C G C
You'll know his sign by his shoes with those wings
F C G Am
I'd wait by the phone but the phone never rings
F
Oh no
F C G Am
When your dad's a god, life can be tough
F C G C
I met the guy once and once was enough
C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Annabeth?
[ANNABETH]
F C
My mom is Athena
G C
She’s smart and she’s wise
F C G C
She’s sworn off gluten and she’s sworn off guys
F C G Am
If she came to Camp, it’d be a surprise
F
Oh no
F C G Am
Oh, and my step-mom, she hates me, and my dad works all day
F C G C
So I left Virginia and I ran away
[Chorus]
F C G C
Oh, things couldn't be worse
F C G C
When your parents run the universe
F C G Am
Oh, things couldn’t be worse
F C G C
When your folks run the universe
C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Alright, who’s next?
C
[KATIE] Oh! Okay, let me see…
[KATIE]
F C
My mom’s Demeter
G C
Goddess of grain
F C G C
She gets excited when it starts to rain
F C G Am
But planting and planting and planting’s a pain
F
Oh no
F C G Am
For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car
F C G C
I got a fern in some dumb mason jar
[GROVER] (Spoken) Ooh, ooh! My turn!
F C
I’m a child of Pan
G C
The god of the wild
F C G Am
For those who love nature, they’re often beguiled
F C G C
He’s not really my dad, but I’m sort of his child
F
Oh no
F C G Am
He went for a hike to explore new frontiers
F C G C
And no one has seen him for thousands of years
[Chorus]
F C G C
Oh, things couldn't be worse
F C G C
When your parents run the universe
F C G Am
Oh, things couldn’t be worse
F C G C
When your folks run the universe
C
[PERCY] (Spoken) Chiron! Who’s your dad? [CHIRON] Oh, well…
[CHIRON]
F* C*
My father is Kronos
G* C*
Remember my lecture?
F* C*
He ate his children
[LUKE] (Spoken) Chiron wins… How about you, Silena?
[SILENA]
F C
The goddess of love
G C
My mom’s Aphrodite
F C G C
She tries to be cool, but mainly she’s flighty
F C G Am
I’ll bring home a boy, and she’s there in her nighty
F
[CAMPERS] Oh no
F C G Am
I tried to seek help from even the Fates
F C G C
‘Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates
C
[LUKE] (Spoken) Alright, Percy, it’s your turn
C
[PERCY] If I try to sing, it’ll probably cause an avalanche
C
[LUKE] We’re all friends here. Come on, give it a shot.
C
[PERCY] Okay. Um…
[PERCY]
F* C*
My mom was named Sally
G* C*
She loved scary movies
F* C*
And food that was blue and…
C
[KATIE] (Spoken) He’s doing it wrong
C
[SILENA] Yeah, who’s your godly parent?
C
[PERCY] Oh, I don’t know
C
[LUKE] It’s alright. A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent. Just give it a try.
[PERCY]
F* C*
So, my dad is some god
G* C*
That’s great, I guess
F* C* G* C*
Did he not want me, or not want the stress?
F* C* G* Am*
Too bad he’s the worst and my life is a mess
F
Oh no
F C G Am
I hope that he shows even a trace
F C G C
‘Cause I’ve got some choice words to throw in his face!
[Chorus]
F C G C
Oh, things couldn't be worse
F C G C
When your parents run the universe
F C G Am
Oh, things couldn’t be worse
[LUKE]
C G Am F
But I don't care where our parents may be
C G Am F
As long as you are here with me
[ALL CAMPERS]
C G Am F
We don't care where our parents may be
C G Am F
As long as you are here with me
C G F C
As long as you are here with me
