From IVY AND THE BIG APPLES Transcribed by Simon Francis If you have any comments you can contact me at: [email protected] This is a pretty damn good song and one of the best off their new album. They use some weird timing in some parts of the song. Intro: {x3} * * |----5----5----5----5----| |----5----5----5----5----| |----7----7----7----7----| |----7----7----7----7----| |----5----5----5----5----| |----5----5----5----5----| Important: The first two strums are downwards and after that there is a pause and the next two strums (marked with an *)are up. Then the song goes straight into a few chords for the verse. It should be easy for you to figure out the strumming for this so I will just give you them. verse |----5----8-----3----| |----5----8-----3----| |----7----10----5----| |----7----10----5----| |----5----8-----3----| |----5----8-----3----| Play through these chords three times and then into the next bit where Kram starts singing a little faster. This is where the timing starts getting weird so I'll just give you what I think the chords are. other bit |------5------5------| |------5------8------| |------7------7------| |------7------5------| |------5------5------| |------5------5------| In the chorus where Kram is singing 'And there's no one else like..' I'm not sure yet what is happening there. So the song is played like: verse other bit verse other bit verse other bit chorus verse other bit verse other bit chorus Buy Me A Pony Don't you want to be a personality an ocean in the sea but you'll never make it if you can't shake it so don't mistake it just try and fake it And I want you to know you don't have far to go so we'll use all your dough To buy new clothes and see what flows and powder your nose for those photos Your almost on your way To popularity And we'll teach you to play With icy stare and punk rock hair and beatnik flair we'll take you there Because there's nobody else like you and me and we sure care just what your doing after we have gone our seperate ways So don't you want to be a big time entity your place in history but don't be scared of what we said because there's no end to being your friend but wait out in the hall we just received a call we'll have to dump you all but don't you try to pass us by because we own you until we're through and there's so many around like you and we don't care just what your doing after we have gone our seperate ways Buy me a pony by Spiderbait (From the album Ivy and the Big Apples) Transcribed by Gordon Loch ([email protected]) Intro x4 G-7-7--7-7--7-7- D-7-7--7-7--7-7- A-5-5--5-5--5-5- E--------------- Verse Part 1 x3 G-7-7-5-5--------- D-7-7-5-5-7-7-7-7- A-5-5-3-3-7-7-7-7- E---------5-5-5-5- Verse Part 2 (repeat chord many times) G-7-7- D-7-7- A-5-5- E----- Both verse parts repeated 3x in all.
