Chords for Kitty Daisy & Lewis / We Dreamed America

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ It is kind of [A] rockabilly, their music.
I like that.
Nigel [Abm] from Roof Trade [Db] forced me to take
their single away probably about a year ago and I thought it [Eb] was fantastic.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Gb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] I'm Kitty, I'm 14.
I'm Daisy, [G] I'm 19.
I'm Lewis, I'm 17.
[C] I sing, play drums, harmonica,
[D] piano, drums, guitar, [A] piano, ukulele, banjo, accordion and I sing as [G] well.
Lap steel and
a bit [A] of trumps.
We've always listened to Elvis and Johnny Cash when [D] we were little.
Bloody Waters, _ [Gm] _ Lightning Hopkins, [G] Howling Wolf, Simon [C] & Garfunkel, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima
and Louis Armstrong.
[D] All the [A] old blues R&B people.
We were [G] just sort of most comfortable
playing between ourselves.
When [Ab] we first started out we used [A] to play with the owner
of the club.
Then later on my dad joined playing the [G] guitar.
_ My mum couldn't really play bass
but [B] _
said come and do it because we didn't really have a bass player.
But even when we
used to rehearse with the other guitarists [G] and stuff, my dad would always be there playing
anyway.
And if [A] he said to Big Steve, the other guitarist, it's like oh that doesn't rock.
_ _ We don't usually get old crowds, like boring old people.
I like playing live because you've
[Bm] just got the big crowd in front of [G] you and then we're really getting into it.
When [A] you've
got no one _ _ giving you feedback, when you're just playing in front [Ab] of no one, it just seems pointless.
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [A] Me, [E] me, son of a gun. _
_ I'd walk down [D] and kill his tooth, tear the breastbone out.
[A] Now me, me, me, son of a gun. _
[D] My skin's hard as _ [A] any [Bb] man.
[B] When I have to shave and [E] stuff
I use an old tin can.
Oh [A] I'd swap my skin, borrow a [D] red tan, scrub myself, then I'd go
to the sex.
[A] Now me, [E] me, me, [A] son of a gun. _
[D] Recordings are nightmare.
[B] The amount of takes you have to do.
[B] You can't do that [A] many.
They moan but they don't actually do that [D] many.
You do like three
takes and then it's oh [E] I'm tired.
We all play live in the room.
[Em] _ _ [A] All of us into [D] an eight
track, _ tape recorder one [Em] inch.
We just maybe do like [A] one vocal [D] overdub or maybe put _ [Em] something
to [E] make it go somewhere.
But usually it's only like one or two overdubs.
It's all like
[A] vintage 50s, 40s [D] and 60s gear.
There's [E] no like computer hiding under the desk which
[A] will spoil it or anything.
[D] So you just do it complete analog, like [E] neat paths.
No [A] plug
in box, I don't even know what that is.
[E] But I got into it because I like 78s _ records and
I wanted to make [E] them.
_ I think if we had a producer he or she wouldn't get far.
Because
if he told anyone to play in a certain [A] way, they'd just say no.
It's a bit _ annoying how
[D] journalists focus on our age [B] instead of our music really which is what it's about.
A lot
of like journalists these days sort of [A] say this [D] rockabilly band.
We don't actually do
a [A] rockabilly song.
[E] _
_ [A] _ So [E] yeah that's what people say when they don't really know what to call
us.
They say oh yeah [B] they've got quiffs, they must [E] be rockabilly.
We're doing it the way
we want to [A] do _ _
_ [D] it.
