Hi All,

here is part two with Literature is Fluff, Dressing Up the Old Dakota, and Might as Well Be Dumbo. I have encountered formatting issues when posting these chords, which has made it difficult to post more than one song at a time. hopefully, I can add other songs as replies. -Marc

Might as Well Be Dumbo—High Llamas (Hawaii)

4/4:

Eb, Eb/G| Bb7sus4, Bb7/F|: x 2

Eb     Eb/G            Bb7sus4, Bb7

         feeling so important

Cm   Eb7                   Abmaj7, Abm6

         a flunky by his side

Gm7                         Fm7

        but there in the door

Gm7                                         Fm7

        stood his friend with two more

 

Eb         Eb/G                Bb7sus4, Bb7

        he captured their attention

Cm                Eb7                Abmaj7,  Abm6

        drawing pictures in the air

Gm7                     Fm7

        enough for today

Gm7                           Fm7

        he shooed them away

Gm7                         Fm7

        it might as well be

Gm7                            Cm7

        just a tea boy and me

Cm             Ddim7             Eb7

        barely recognized his good friend

                           Abmaj7  Abm6         Eb/G, F#dim7

swept through the door and down the stairs

|Fm7, Fdim7| Fdim7|

 

there's not a lot to look at

now the barnraising is through

a hundred feet high

against a crystal clear sky

it might as well be Dumbo

with a pencil in his hand

but Dumbo can fly

that's him in the sky

it might as well be

just a tea boy and me

Instrumental:

Cm| Ddim7| Eb7| Abmaj7, Abm6| Eb/G, F#dim7| Fm7, Fdim7| Fdim7|

|Db11| Db11|

 

Gm7                           Fm7

       we work with our hands….

 

Gm7 and Fm7 to fade.

Hey Marc,

Thanks a lot for posting these tabs. I had tried in vain to make the forum go on tabbing spree some weeks ago here , starting with a tab of Literatture is fluff, by the way (which was quite close from yours).

If you're willing to part the tabbing job for other Llamas songs, just let me know.

And in case Seano is reading, may he feel free to amend tabs if need be - I would personnaly see no offense ;)

Cheers

Florian

I've added a few corrections to the tab of Might as Well Be Dumbo.

Fantastic song and thanks again Marc for tabbing it - it's priceless.
