Barenaked Ladies - "Ninjas"
From the album "Snacktime"
(transcribed by Josh Alder)
I couldn't find this anywhere online. I looked at several BNL performances on
YouTube, and Steven Page always played this with a capo on 5.

I woke up this morning and everything was different
F C G C
Something was strange in the air
F C G C
I woke up this morning and everything was different

I knew that the Ninjas had been there.

I looked all around my bedroom, underneath the dresser
Am G
Behind the bed, but nothing could be found
Am F
There was nothing left behind them, nowhere that I could find them
Am G
No fingerprints or crumbs on the ground.
F G C
The Ninjas are deadly and silent
F G C
They're also unspeakably violent
F Fm C Am
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
F G C
And sometimes they vacation in Ireland.
F G C
The Ninjas are deadly and silent
F G C
They're also unspeakably violent
F Fm C Am
They speak Japanese, they do whatever they please
F G C Cm (end chord!)
And if you tear off their masks they'll be smiling.
