Na Na (NyQuil)

This song is composed of three parts.  They can be mixed up and switched around however and whenever you wish!

Here is a lovely recording I made with two other ladies.


Capo 4

Part Uno
A.................. E.....................
What makes a heart freak out?
.........D.............................A.....E 
What makes a heart beat slow?
A........................E...............
What about your countenance,
........D...............................A.... E 
your smile your laugh your eyes?
A................... E.................
Whatever it is it makes me
D.........................A......................... E...........
think of you even when I'm with the other guys

(Follow the same AEDAE pattern throughout the song)

Part Dos
I can't seem to stop these blue eyes from seeing you. I'm stuck to you stuck to you, like bubble gum to shoe.
I can't seem to stop this red heart from wanting you I'm made for you made for you, like NyQuil for the flue

Part Tres
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na naaa  (And yes, this is the exactly correct number of na nas.)

Erato

I saw this on Facebook and immediately wanted to share it with the world.

The beat they use is the very same girls camp classic game "the cup game" from my youth.  Lo and behold, these brilliant ladies took that beat and utilized it.

Erato, by the way, is one of the three Muses in Greek mythology.

Pirate Song

Capo fret 2

G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Moby once told me the coordinates for gold, gave me the rise and the run and I ran away.
G.....................D...........................Am...................C...................G.................. D......................Am.........C
Compass for adventure, bandanna and blue jeans, when I heard the dashes and the dots.
....................G....................D...................Am...................C............G......................................D.......Am......C
Saw your sail and your hull, the white flag on the pole; you surrendered though I just said hello.



Chorus
......................G...D....Am....C
Called me a pirate.
...................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Said I plundered and I stole your heart.
.....G.........................D......................Am....................C........ 
I didn't mean to break it, I didn't even want to take it,
......G...................................D.......................Am...........C 
but I blinked twice and you had stowed away.


Bridge: D..................................Em...............................................
I can reassure you I did not choose to board you.
...D............................................C...................D.... 
I swear on Davy Jones, you did this too yourself.

*clap clap*


G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Man overboard! I sincerly pray the Lord will bless you with love to come.
G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C
But that love isn't me. No, I'm not the key that's going to unleash the heart in your chest.
G.....................D.................Am......................C..................... 
I got no need for an anchor, don't wanna be held down.
................G.................. D...................Am.........C 
I may regret it in the end but at least I'm free.


Chorus ..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I wander and I never dock
G............................D......Am.............................C........ 
Live on billowed sails, flirt with sharks and whales
.........G..............................D.................................Am...........C 
And when I change my mind the waves don't fuss.

Bridge: D..................................Em...............................................
I know I hurt you, It feels like I desert you.
...D...................................................C........................D....
I made you walk the plank, but it's not you it's me.

*Goes into a trio and audience participation of all your favorite pirate phrases while following the GDEmC chord progression

..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I see land but I keep to sea
..........G...D....Am....C 
I'm a pirate.
.....G....................D..........Am.........C 
I see land but I keep to sea

G.....................D.................Am......................C............................G.................. D......................Am.........C 
Moby once told me the coordinates for gold, gave me the rise and the run and I ran away.
