Song: Timothy Artist: dada Me: Devon Stauffer
OK, the song starts out with strings; I'm not going to try to transcribe them. Anyway the basic components of the song are A, D, E and then it goes to C#minor to G. Try to strum only the top three strings (personally I think it sounds better).
Like this: Intro (when guitar comes in):
ADADADEE
ADA Look at me I'm ten feet tall
DA Jungle-Jim hope I don't fall
D Gather 'round for my playground
E show
Basically, that's the whole song. When it changes to "And my mom, she's a movie star," use C#minor to Gmajor. There are, however, a few parts in the song that require a decent amount of knowledge regarding finger-picking techniques, I don't know how to finger-pick that well so I had trouble figuring them out. Give it a shot.
Here are the complete words (because I hate it when people don't include them).
Look at me I'm ten feet tall Jungle-Jim, hope I don't fall Gather 'round for my playground show
They call me Tim, my real name is Timothy Your attention please but please not your sympathy My dad's real cool He discovered Mars And my mom is a movie star
The kids at school don't let me play anything But I don't care because I have everything Any boy could ever need
A helicopter that takes me anywhere A diamond horse, yeah my dad's a millionaire Don't mind the holes in my knees And my mom's a movie star
Billy Green grabs his lunch from the window sill I left mine home, how 'bout a bite of your sandwich Bill A friend in need is a friend indeed
The teacher asks oh where are your parents Tim It's been five months and I've seen no sign of them My dad's not here He flew back to Mars And my mom is a movie star
She's a movie star She's a movie star My dad's drunk in a bar And my mom's crashed the car She's a movie star....
