Scary Pinata Face
I just keep'em comin' atcha! This is a cover of "Ondine" from They Might Be Giants "Back to Skull" EP. I had this in my head and I had the idea of "Maybe I should be recording just my vocal track first when I record so I can capture all the funk I was envisioning without instrumental or click track limitations!" Not a bad idea, actually!
I could have recorded over the original vocal track of course, and probably should have since I did it a capella, no pitch or tempo reference, but actually it's not half bad! Maybe one third bad?
Want to play along? Here is my transcription of the chords and lyrics to Ondine:
Ondine
[notes] G Eb C G Eb C
Ondine you won
[tacet Cm]
All she left behind was an unloaded gun
Eb
And my face is blushing
Cm
From all the things she’s done
Eb
You couldn’t miss that girl
F
Cuz here she comes
[notes] G Eb C G Eb C
Ondine back up
[tacet Cm]
Run over my body with your pickup truck
Eb
And finish what you started
Cm
Because I’m done
Eb
I’d search the whole world over
F
To find these words
Cm G Bb Cm
She said I had the strangest dream
Eb F Cm G
I dreamed I killed you again
Cm G Bb Cm
Don’t make me kill you again
Eb F G
Cuz I could never kill you again
[notes] G Eb C G Eb C
Ondine was here
[tacet Cm]
You couldn’t even take away a souvenir
Eb
Of what’s left of that sinner
Cm
She used to call me that
Eb
I’d search the whole world over
F
To find these words
Cm G Bb Cm
She said I had the strangest dream
Eb F Cm G
I dreamed I killed you again
Cm G Bb Cm
Don’t make me kill you again
Eb F G
Cuz I could never kill you again
C G Bb Cm
I had the strangest dream
Eb F Cm G
I dreamed I killed you again
Cm G Bb Cm
Don’t make me kill you again
Eb F G
Cuz I could never kill you again
