Little Boys Devendra Banhart
conceptually, this might be the best song ever written. its actually quite simple, the
mimics your standard 1950's love song. chord positionings aren't exactly right here,
the chords themselves are.
[C]Life is [Am]tough[F] and love is [G]rough
For the man who just can't ever seem to get enough
The days go by and the women come and go
So many that you decide to get rid of your front door
So you don't have to hear them all disappear
You just sit and you wait
Staring at your empty plate
nd you can say I'm a lonely sailor
Rockin' gently on my dreams
'Cause I have it all, but I don't want it all
It ain't like I've never ever ever ever tried
I just never been fully satisfied
Just to[F] tie a little[G] shoelace
And to [F]share a sleeping [G]bag
And I [F]look ahead to the [G]day
When I look [F]back at all the fun that I've [G]had
(Hold G, throw in G7 at end for style)
But still, but still, but still..
(little lead in bass riff (left hand in C/G chord formation))
A|3-3---3-3--3-3--3-3-2-2-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-0-2-2-| E|----3----3----3-------------3---3----3--------|
(use a brush picking technique for this part)
I see so [C]many little boys I want to [Am]marry
I see [C]plenty little kids I've yet to [Am]have
[F]Even when the moon goes ou[G]t
[F]Even when the sea dries ou[G]t
I still see so many little boys I want to marry
I see plenty little kids I've yet to have now
Even when the sea's all free
And everything's lying on me
Even when the sun ceases to shine
I won't care, I'll still have on my mind
So many little boys I want to marry yeah yeah
I see plenty little kids I've yet to have
[F]And in the shower I [G]get my dreaming done
I hold my breath and I wait for the day to come
Oh little Billy, little Timmy, little Jimmy, you're the one
I may not look it, but I swear my heart is young for so many..
Little boys I want to marry
