[Intro]:
Am *(Am6 Am7) Em *(Em2 Em+G)

Unfinished words like cheese and onion
Cm G **G/F#
Help me to write this marzipan song
Em Bm Em D
Unfinished words, flying like birds
G G/F# Em ***Em7 Am
High in the sky above my deck chair
Em *(Em2 Em+G)
Am *(Am6 Am7) Em *(Em2 Em+G)
G G+/D# Em G7 C
I don't like anchovies on top of strawberries and cream
Cm G G/F#
Pink litmus paper shirt turning blue

Kippers and jam, custard and spam

Are only just the stuff of dreams

[Spoken]:
G G+/D# Em G7 C
I can't pretend to be someone who pretends to be someone else
Cm G ****(Gsus4) G G/F#
Or so my pretend friend tells me
Em Bm Em D
Unfinished words, flying like birds
G G/F# Em Em7 Am *(Am6 Am7)
Colliding circles in the sky
Em *(Em2 Em+G)
Am *(Am6 Am7)
Left is right
Em *(Em2 Em+G)
and right is wrong
Am *(Am6 Am7) G6
NB:
*During the intro and other parts of the song, these
chords change very quickly from:
Am -> Am6 -> Am7
and:
Em -> Em2 -> Em+G
Em2 = Em chord with added 2nd note (F#)
Em+G = Em chord with extra G note
(Refer to tablature below for suggested fingering
of these chords).
If desired, these extra chords (shown in parentheses)
can be omitted, and just Am and Em can be played
where indicated.
Suggested fingerings (tab):
Am Am6 Am7 Em Em2 Em+G
E-----0-----2-----3---------0-----2-----3-----
B-----1-----1-----1---------0-----0-----0-----
G-----2-----2-----2---------0-----0-----0-----
D-----2-----2-----2---------2-----2-----2-----
A-----0-----0-----0---------2-----2-----2-----
E----(0)---(0)---(0)--------0-----0-----0-----
(Numbers shown in parentheses indicate notes that
don⤙t have to be played)
**Chords shown such as G+/D# and G/F# indicate the chord
to be played, followed by the accompanying bass note
(in the case of G/F#, for example, a G chord with an F#
bass note). These bass notes don't have to be played,
however, and the chord can just be played on its own.
A suggested fingering for G+/D# (= G augmented with a
D# bass) has been given in the tablature below:
G+/D#
E------X-------
B------4-------
G------4-------
D------5-------
A------6-------
E------X-------
('X' indicates a string that isn't to be played)
***All of the G7 and Em7 chords throughout the song
can also be played as follows:
G7 --> G/F (G with an F bass)
Em7 --> Em/D (Em with a D bass)
Although they sound more like G/F and Em/D in the
recording of this song, it probably sounds more
appropriate to just play G7 and Em7 if playing with
just a guitar on its own.
****The chords Dsus4 and Gsus4 are VERY BRIEF passing chords,
and don't have to be played.
