Britniy's Journey

(intro... house sounds... maybe a quiet alien conversation in the corner?)

Door pounding (whump whump). Barest hint of the Bm from the jam portion.

Long pause.

Aliens look at each other for a very long time

Again: whump whump (slightly more of the Bm)

Longer stare between them. Clearly not sure the protocol.

Again: whump whump (this time Bm is clear)

Quickly: breaking window, and clump ggggggggggg of a grenade hitting the wood floor and rolling (pineapple grenade with very distinct rolling sound)

(Am Am C E) her name was Britniy and she shot 'em down
(F F C Bdim) some kind of blood on her hands
(F F Am C) she couldn't tell what was real, wasn't sure how to feel
(G G G G) but he was dead.

(F F Am C)
(F C G G)
(G G)
(Dm Dm C F)
(F F)



(Am Am C E) Britniy went seeking on a bayou
(F F C Bdim) for a hoodoo man
(F F Am C) with a ring, on a finger
(G G G G) from his hand

(F F Am C) she met a deep queen sitting in a graveyard, wearin'
(F C G G) platinum and the skull of a man
(G G)
(Dm Dm C F) oh yeah, she was serious
(F F)

(Dm Dm Am C) she leaned and she whispered into Britniy's ear:
(F F C G) "you can see him again"
(Dm Dm Am C) you've got the ring on the finger
(Dm Dm C G) now tell him something you remember

(F/C Am2 x3 ... thoughtful pause, non-obvious ending)

(F F Am C) x 12
"I remember summertime"
"We stole my mama's wine"
"We fell asleep by the riverside"
"It was so wide"

"I remember going inside"
"I was killing two at a time"
"And then I learned you died"

"I remember going inside"
"I was killing four at a time"
"And then I learned you died"

"I remember sunshine"
