THE DEAD MILKMEN The Thing That Only Eats Hippies from Eat Your Paisley tabbed by Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com) I mucked around with the chorus chords for ages and never really was happy with them as such. However, Bucky Lewis (lordamisthar@hotmail.com) has helped me out with them and I'm a little more certain now :) Verse: Just G and F, like so ----- E|---3-------3--1--3----- B|---3-------3--1--3----- G|---4-------4--2--4----- D|---5-------5--3--5----- A|---5-------5--3--5----- E|---3-------3--1--3----- Wendel brought it to life In the guest-room bathtub It was a special project for his 4-H club But it broke loose out in the middle of the night And now it's eating flower children left and right! Chorus: ------ E D G A All the punks are gonna scream yippie E D G A B F C Cause it's the thing that only eats hippies Verse: First it cruised on out to Malibu And ate a couple of surfers who were too tough to chew Then it slithered it's way out to old Irvine And ate a couple of hippies and they tasted just fine Chorus: Now it's got a sweet tooth for long hair So Bob and Greg and Grant you should beware Other bit: --------- G D Am C Following the Dead is how it gets it's kicks G D Am C Shame it wasn't born in 19 - 66 G D Am C Listens to the music and begins to sway G D Am C Dreamin acid dreams of a hippie souffle D Hey hey hey! Verse: What do they taste like? Some kind of treat? How many hippies can this monster eat? It ate Stills and Nash before they could shout Then it chewed on David Crosby but it spit him out Chorus: All the punks are gonna scream yippie Cause it's the thing that only eats hippies There it goes Gonna send em all to the big folk festival in the sky So long suckers! Ending: ------ G F G Bb E|---3-3-3-3--1--3--1-- B|---3-3-3-3--1--3--3-- G|---4-4-4-4--2--4--3-- D|---5-5-5-5--3--5--3-- A|---5-5-5-5--3--5--1-- E|---3-3-3-3--1--3----- End on Bb.
