Alright, rolling video, take four.

Yeah.

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
Her name [Em] is Yoshimi.
_ _ [F] _
She's a black belt [G] in karate.
_ _ [C] _
_ Working for [Em] the city.
_ _ [F] _
She has to discipline [G] her body.
_ [F] But she knows that
[G] it's demanding
to [C]
defeat those [F] evil machines. _ _ _
I know [G] she can beat them.
[C] Oh, Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
[Dm] But you won't let [F] those
go by to eat me.
[C]
Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let [F] those
robots defeat [C] me.
Those evil [Em] natured robots,
_ _ [F] _
they're programmed [G] to destroy us.
_ [C] _
She's gotta be [Em] strong to fight them.
_ _ [F] _
So she's taking [D] lots of vitamins.
_ [F] But she knows that
_ [G] it'd be tragic
if [C] those evil _ [F] robots win. _ _ _
I know she [G] can beat them.
[C] Oh, Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let those
[F] _ [G] robots defeat me.
[C]
Yoshimi,
they don't [Em] believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let those
[F] robots [G] eat me.
[C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ Cause she knows _ that
it'd [G] be tragic
if [C] those evil _ [F] robots win.
Yeah. _ _
And I [G] know she can beat them.
Oh, [C]
Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let those
[C] robots [G] defeat me.
[C]
Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let [F] those
robots [G] defeat me.
[C]
Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let those
[F] _ robots eat [C] me.
Yoshimi,
they [Em] don't believe me.
_ [Dm] But you won't let [F] those
robots [G] eat me.
[Am]
Yoshimi.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
That was good.
[N] I feel like both of the last ones were terrifying.
Mine and Sam's harmonies
were good on that one.
That was, yeah,
that was the tightest that's ever been.
Do you want to listen back to it
or do you want to keep going? _
As reluctant as we were
to say goodbye to our friends in Denver,
it felt really good to be crossing
back over the Mississippi River
and into the more familiar territory
of the [G#] Midwest.
Take us home.
After an overnight just outside of Omaha,
[F#m] we proceeded the next day
to Chicago, Illinois.
[F] Mississippi, hey,
this is our second time crossing it.
Another time,
well I guess we would have had to cross it,
but where did we cross it?
On the way into [B] Arkansas.
As [F] we were leaving Tennessee,
we crossed the Mississippi
on [A] the way into Arkansas
and now [F] we're back on the East.
_ _ _ _ [F#] I don't like that abbreviation.
How about the Ippie?
_ _ _ Crossing the Ippie.
[B] Call on me, [N] oh.
What's your name?
Kelly.
The first person we were going to meet up with
was Brandon Aker.
He's a fellow YouTuber
and a Josh Doppelganger,
as well as a truly fantastic
classical guitar player.
He offered for us to shoot
in his very charming [B] backyard,
which we quickly [D#m] discovered
was underneath the [C] O'Hare flight path. _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ [E] Despite the airplanes,
we managed to record a song each
for Brandon's channel and mine.
Brandon was also kind enough
to let me play with some of his [F#] instruments,
including the cartoonishly proportioned Theorbo.
[G#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ Did you want to rehearse [D#] it?
[F#] Yeah.
[E] Am I skipping some bars here?
[A] Yeah.
_ Uh, 90% of your [N] lyric?
_ _ _ _ A little plinky.
A little plonky.
Do [F] you think too bright?
_ [D#] I just wish there was more [Gm] sustain, basically.
Yeah, I think it's harder than [G#] a guitar.
Yeah.
[A] _ _ _
Yeah, I appreciate you being [E] patient with me.
[G] I studied classical guitar during undergrad.
That's the only time I've really been consistently
in that world,
[Bm] so it's been several years.
You [Gm] sound great, man.
_ _ [G] Rolling main camera, take three.
[N] Yeah, you think so?
Alright, let's see if
the siren's getting closer.
We'll [F] let it fade here [E] first.
_ _ [F#m]
[F#] Oh, God!
_ [C#] Ha ha ha.
_ _ I wonder if I can take that.
_ [D] If you're going to do it,
I think you should commit
ba dee dee ba bee bum.
Yeah, yeah, [C#] yeah.
And then wait for the downbeat of the next thing.
Oh, yeah.
A little bit of a rip-hard.
Make it magical.
No rush.
You're on.
Ah, that could be nice.
Yeah, because it doesn't matter if it's late.
It's just more magical.
_ Beautiful.
Yeah, there we go.
[F#] _
[C#] _ I didn't even realize that I had that until_
Yeah, I [F] said that.
I would have [A#]
proposed it much earlier
if I offered it.
A lot better than my flaw.
_ [C#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ Yeah, just [C] to start it.
I think just to start it
we've got [N] to drag this siren free.
_ I think we've got a golden moment here.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
