Chords for Hiatus Kaiyote - Shaolin Monk Motherfunk

Hey, I'm Erica Olson and on this Music Minute we are at El Rey Theatre featuring Australian-based band Hiatus [D] Coyote.
To drop in to [Fm] dance, to drop [A] in to [C#] dance.
Alright, I'm with the band [F#] Hiatus Coyote.
Welcome [C#] guys.
Thank you.
[D] Let's talk about the name [C#] first.
Where did it come from?
We wanted a word that was made [C#m] up that triggers the [C#] imagination of our [F#m] listeners because that's what we intend to do with our music.
So [C#] Hiatus is like a pause to absorb your surroundings and then Coyote is similar to coyote and peyote but it's [D] not quite either.

[C#] Tell us [G#] about the song you're performing for [B] Music Minute.
[E] I'm a Shaolin monk mother [C#] funk.
It's one [G#m] of the first songs we wrote [C#m] from scratch.
There's many [D] layers lyrically [E] to it and [A#] then you know it's inspired [C#] by a kung fu [G#m] film.
And then sonically [F#] like you have these [C#m] themes that you can play on.
Wind does [D] keep [C#m] blowing [G#m] out of [C#] the hour.
[G#m] While old [C#m] child _ _ [D] howling as [C#m] it [G#m] falls.
To [C#] find the [G#m] form of dust.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ [F#] _ [D#] How would you define and [D#] describe your sound?
Well it's kind of [F#] cinematic _ [G#] and reflexive.
I guess it's just a [D#m] process of [E] _ when you combine all the things that we love [D#] together in the ways that we [F#m] do.
You [A#] know it kind of creates something that maybe people [D] haven't heard before.
To drop into [C#] this.
To [A] drop into this.
[C#] To drop [F#m] into this.
[G#] Oh I've been swinging [D] it so low.

Let's talk [D] about the artwork on this because it's [G#] pretty fierce.
It was [D] done by a friend of ours [C#] Lachlan [F#m] Mitchell.
He did the artwork for Tom [G#] Tomahawk as well.
And I put, [D] it was like [C#] copper leafing through it [A] because it's a very [G#] intense and [C#m] masculine image.
[G#] So I just kind of [D] thought I'd stop and [G#] I'd do [D] Lady Juju.
