Bb G Ab F

Bb G Ab F
they'll be my ticket to the universal opera

Gb Ab Eb
there's judy garland taking buddha by the hand

Gb Ab Eb
and then these seven little men get up to dance

outro solo: Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
and if i die today

Bb: x 1 3 3 3 1
Gm7: 3 5 3 3 3 3
Ab: 4 6 6 5 4 4
F9sus4: 1 3 1 3 1 3
Bb/D: x 5 3 3 6 x
F: 1 3 3 2 1 1
F7: 1 3 1 2 1 1
Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 0
D: x x 0 2 3 2
C: x 3 2 0 1 0
Eb: x 6 8 8 8 x
Em: x x 2 4 5 3
G: 3 2 0 0 0 3

of note: of course, this is a piano song, so this is, at best,
a bad hack transcription. the F7 isn't the usual F-flatted 7th that
you might see ( 0 3 3 2 1 0 ) so be careful with that.

i play the intro Bb by hitting the three higher strings first, then the
root, like this:

e| 1
b| 3 3 3 /4 1
G| 3 3 4 /5 2
D| 3 3 5 /6 3
A| 1 5 /6 3
E| 1 3 /4 1

(altho the song doesn't have that low F (E string, first fret,) i play it
in unison with the Bb to make it sound thicker.)

-d.
