Tuning: Standard
No Capo
So the picking alone gets kinda awkward if you dont have anything but the guitar and your vocals,
so I wrote these chords below to be strummed alongside the rhythmic parts of the song.
Tune your high E string down to a D and play it open if you want to, otherwise just avoid the high E.
The brackets () mark the strings you can add when strumming

G Cmaj7
So we paint a red room white
D
And we move all night
Em F#m G Cmaj7
To the north side
G Cmaj7 D
And I always thought that North Street felt like a seaside town
Cmaj7
With it's open skies
Em F#m G Cmaj7
And Ray's is selling oysters by the pound
D
They're an aphrodisiac
Cmaj7
So if we needed that
Em F#m G Cmaj7
We'd serve 'em on the half shell and slurp 'em down.
G Cmaj7
But we move like Roman soldiers
G Cmaj7
Into the wilds of the psyche
G Cmaj7
To fix under a cancelling star
G Cmaj7
Hermes and Aphrodite
G Cmaj7
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Em5 D5 Cmaj7
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
D5
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Bm5 G
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
F#m G
So I went and got a buzz cut
F#m G
Two shots in the ruby red
F#m G
She's got willow boughs in the bed of her truck
F#m G
She'll never drink again
G Cmaj7 D
I saw flamingos in the seat-back screen
Cmaj7
Of the A32214
Em F#m G Cmaj7
As I flew from San Diego to the moon
D
And she's an aphrodisiac
Cmaj7
So if we needed that
Em F#m G Cmaj7
We could take a little moonbeam in a spoon
G Cmaj7
And we move like Roman soldiers
G Cmaj7
Into the wilds of the psyche
G Cmaj7
To fix under a cancelling star
G Cmaj7
Hermes and Aphrodite
G Cmaj7
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Em5 D5 Cmaj7
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
D5
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Bm5 G
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
F#m G
So I went and got a buzz cut
F#m G
Two shots in the ruby red
F#m G
She's got willow boughs in the bed of her truck
F#m G
She'll never drink again
D G
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Bm A G
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
A
Sippin' on the sunlit juice

Sippin' on the sunlit juice
Bm A G
Haven't thought much about that in awhile
A
Sippin' on the sunlit juice
