Chords for Gowan Shows You Around

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
It's about time.
[Abm] I'm Lawrence Gowan [Bb] and welcome [Dbm] to my [Gb] crib.
_ _ We're coming this way.
And the next thing I would show you would be this great Buddha
head.
_ _ [E] It's a wonderful Buddha head that I got in Los Angeles because that is [A] the spiritual
[Eb] Mecca of the world.
I want to show you something [Db] in the bedroom right now.
[Ab] It's [Db] an organ and
[Eb] _ [Db] it's [Ab] just come this way.
[Eb]
Ta [Db]-da!
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] [Db] It's a pump [Ab] organ from the _ 1890s.
[G] For another thousand days, will it all be over?
And [B] another thousand nights, will the job get done?
[G] For another thousand days, would it all make history?
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [B] See the kitchen?
_ _ [E]
[D] And so the fridge, we keep over here in the fridge spot.
[Gm] And since we're all [Ab] vegetarians here, [Gbm] it's all veggie food.
Actually, we get a lot of stuff from Licks.
They make a great nature burger.
The Licks Nature Burger.
Try one.
_ Oh look!
More stuff from Licks.
Duck sauce.
[Em] Oh man, this is amazingly tasty.
[D] You can drink [Bm] this stuff right out of the bottle.
Check this out.
_ Mmm!
[Gbm] Ah!
Ah!
How's that? _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Em] Oh, pure maple syrup, which is great.
This _ is better than a [Db] passport when it comes to proving that you're Canadian.
And [Ab] this will probably last a couple of days for me.
It's a [Gbm] number three dart, which is the advantage that I prefer.
I'm going to crack this one open myself right now.
_ [D] _ Mmm!
Ah!
Did you get my toothbrush?
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[Gb] Oh, the ice is completely Canadian.
[D] _ And look at that.
You could skate on that if you really had to.
And that is a fridge.
_ Done.
[Abm] Now come over here.
I want to show you something that's taken ten years to put together.
And this is the Egyptian [G] art wall.
[Ebm] _
This is a beautiful thing that [Abm] was done by Jen.
Actually, Jen, come here.
[Db] Here.
_ [Bb] She painted.
[Abm] She can tell you all about it.
[Eb] Spend some time with her.
Oh, you did very [Abm] well.
Did I do okay?
You did very well.
Thank you very much.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] So that's the Egyptian wall.
So, oh, and if you want to go to the bathroom, [Gb] we actually do have one.
[Em] It's right in here.
_ [D] [E] Ah, yeah.
[D] See?
[Em] It all works.
This is Shiva.
This is the [G] Hindu god of, [Em] I believe, it's the cycle of life.
Death and [E] rebirth.
Death and rebirth.
Which has a lot to [F] do with what goes on [E]
[D] in this room.
And now, let's go to the basement.
[N] The basement.
The rock house, y'all.
_ _ [G] So this [Dbm] is the basement where the [Ab] rocking never [B] stops, ever, ever, around the clock.
Keeps on going, keeps on going.
I've got [Gbm] a band back here that I'm working on.
Some protégés.
[Ab]
[E] You know, young [B] talent.
I'm always working on things.
[E] [Bm] Here's what they're working [Dbm] on.
_ _ [E] _ _ [Bm] Oh, _ yeah.
[E] [Gbm] That sounds good.
_ These kids are going [E] to be rich [Bm] before they're 18 playing a riff like that.
Absolutely sounds [G] fantastic.
Listen to that.
That's good.
[Em] _ _ Hey, hang on. _ _
What's the matter?
Can we just stop now?
Why?
[N] What's wrong?
My fingers are bleeding.
_ _ _ [Eb] [B] Here.
Here's some [Db] band-aids.
[Ab] _ [B] Take five minutes and get back at it.
[Ab] These kids. _
_ [Eb] _ [B] You gotta [Db] see my favorite thing in [Eb] the whole house.
[B] My [Ab] Steinway.
It's right here.
[Eb] Yeah.
You like it?
You like the [Gm] sound of it?
This always gets the kids going.
[D] _ [F] _
[G] _ [D] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [B] So now the fish tank.
Right this way.
Oh, hang on.
[C] _ The drummer in [B] Styx hates this.
This is [A] the cane that I got in New Orleans.
[Cm] So I'm going to use this to take you this way [G] over to the fish tank.
Right this way, gentlemen.
_ _ [C] I've had, [Eb] like, tanks of fish [A] ever since I was, like, in grade school.
[C] I actually got moved [G] to the back corner [Eb] of the class and I [G] got into _ _ talking to the fish.
[C] _ Frightening, but true.
[Dbm] These fish kind of know me.
Like, watch this.
If I put my [D] face over here, right, they usually come and say,
Hello.
[Ebm] What?
Huh?
You like me for my looks?
[Db] _ _ [Ab] Before we go [Bb] out to the backyard, I want to show you just one thing I love [E] about this sunroom is acoustically it [Ab] sounds great [Gb] in here.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ I must confess, I [Am] more or less [D] [G] made your last request. _
[D] _ [A] And that was your last request. _ _ _
All right, folks.
So here we are in the backyard.
A tranquil [G] place, peace [Ab] and quiet.
[A] _ Any rocking that you do [D] out here will have to be done at a lower [A] level.
So come on over here, first of all.
[G] First thing I want to show you is the fountain.
[A] _
_ [E] This is a very important [G] item [D] because it [A] aids [E] in [G] tranquility.
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] And I got a great deal on [D] it.
[Gm] Next thing I'd like to show you [Cm] is this shield here, which is [Gm] from the Moonlight Desires video.
If you remember that [Cm] video, these moonlight desires [Eb] haunt me.
That one.
_ [Ab] The _ shield was figured [Cm] prominently on the pyramid of the sun and [Eb] the moon in Mexico City.
[Ab] And it's been out here oxidizing in the backyard for a [Eb] little while now.
_ [Db] _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
Well, I hope you [Db] had a great time [Ab] MTV.
It was great having you over here.
If you feel like picking a few raspberries on your [Eb] way out, be my guest.
But you are on your way out.
Thanks. _ _ _ _ _
