The Magnetic Fields ~ '66 Wonder Where I'm From
NO CAPO
Disc 1, Track 1 from the life-spanning "50 Song Memoir"
Figured I would include the ukulele chords too for the Stephin-Merritt purists among us.
Please leave suggestions if anything's wrong; I'm glad to edit this if necessary.

[Intro]
C Cmaj7 C6 C* F C G7 F C
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C*
In Saint Thomas, barefoot Beatniks bonk
F C
On a boat, afloat in rum
G7
Is it there I'm from?
F C
I wonder where I'm from
C Cmaj7 C6 C*
Up in Yonkers, two blocks from the Bronx
F C
Baby born 'bout as big as your thumb
G7
Is it there I'm from?
F C
I wonder where I'm from
[Chorus]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 D D6 D7 D6*
Never stayed in any one place two years
C Cadd9 C G Gsus4
I was made in America, three cheers!
G7*
Until
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C*
Baden-Baden, in the BRD
F C
Lederhosen on my baby bum
G7
Is it there I'm from?
F C
I wonder where I'm from
[Chorus]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 D D6 D7 D6*
Rarely stayed in one place more than a year
C Cadd9 C G Gsus4 G7*
I was made in the northern hemisphere Hum
[Instrumental]
C Cmaj7 C6 C* F C G7 F C
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C*
Oh, the seashells, tossed up on the shore
F C
Contain the oceanic hum
G7
They know where they're from
F C F
I wonder where I'm from
C
I wonder where I'm from
