  Song:  Timothy

  Artist: dada

  Me:  Devon Stauffer

  

  OK, the song starts out with strings; I'm not going to try to transcribe

  them.  Anyway the basic components of the song are A, D, E and then it

  goes to C#minor to G.  Try to strum only the top three strings

  (personally I think it sounds better).

  

  Like this:

  Intro (when guitar comes in):

  

  A         D        A    D    A    D    E    E

  

  A            D                    A

  Look at me I'm ten feet tall

  

               D                     A

  Jungle-Jim hope I don't fall

  

                          D

  Gather 'round for my playground

  

  E

  show

  

  

  Basically, that's the whole song.  When it changes to "And my mom, she's

  a movie star,"  use C#minor to Gmajor.  There are, however, a few parts

  in the song that require a decent amount of knowledge regarding

  finger-picking techniques, I don't know how to finger-pick that well so

  I had trouble figuring them out.  Give it a shot.

  

  Here are the complete words (because I hate it when people don't include

  them).

  

  Look at me I'm ten feet tall

  Jungle-Jim, hope I don't fall

  Gather 'round for my playground

  show

  

  They call me Tim, my real name is

  Timothy

  Your attention please but please not

  your sympathy

  My dad's real cool

  He discovered Mars

  And my mom is a movie star

  

  The kids at school don't let me play

  anything

  But I don't care because I have

  everything

  Any boy could ever need

  

  A helicopter that takes me

  anywhere

  A diamond horse, yeah my dad's a

  millionaire

  Don't mind the holes in my knees

  And my mom's a movie star

  

  Billy Green grabs his lunch from the

  window sill

  I left mine home, how 'bout a bite

  of your sandwich Bill

  A friend in need is a friend indeed

  

  The teacher asks oh where are your

  parents Tim

  It's been five months and I've seen

  no sign of them

  My dad's not here

  He flew back to Mars

  And my mom is a movie star

  

  She's a movie star

  She's a movie star

  My dad's drunk in a bar

  And my mom's crashed the car

  She's a movie star....
