One Week - Barenaked Ladies - Stunt ------ BNL plays this song with a capo on the second fret, which is why the voicings of the chords sound as they do. If you want to play it without a capo, feel free, So the tab below is written relative to the second fret. These will be the chords then (obviously)... G Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4 G/B e----3----3-------3------3------3----| B----3----3-------3------3------3----| G----0----0-------0------2------0----| D----0----2-------2------0------0----| A----2----3-------2-------------2----| E----3------------0------------------| There are so many words in this song so I'm gonna put them all here but I'm not writing the chords out each time. No point. CHORUS ------ G G Cadd9 Its been one week since you looked at me G G Cadd9 Cocked your head to the side and said Im angry G G Cadd9 Five days since you laughed at me saying G G Cadd9 Get that together come back and see me (Same as above) Three days since the living room, I realized its all my fault, but couldnt tell you Yesterday youd forgiven me But itll still be two days till I say Im sorry VERSES ------ This bit is so easy, just play a G chord the whole wat through. Not the whole chord though. Just the top three strings. It sounds really clean on the CD so put the distortion pedal away. It still sounds alright if you play the whole G chord though, especially if you're on your own. --- Hold it now and watch the hoodwink As I make you stop, think Youll think youre looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, Although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi Cause its never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes Big like Leann Rimes Because Im all about value Bert Kaempferts got the mad hits You try to match wits You try to hold me but I bust through Gonna make a break and take a fake Id like a stinkin, achin shake I like vanilla, Its the finest of the flavors Gotta see the show, Cause then youll know The Vertigo is gonna grow Cause its so dangerous, Youll have to sign a waiver PRE-CHORUS ---------- Em7 Dsus4 How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad G/B Cadd9 Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad Em7 Dsus4 Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral G/B Cadd9 Cant understand what I mean? Well, you soon will Em7 Dsus4 I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve G/B Cadd9 I have a history of taking off my shirt CHORUS AGAIN ------------ Same chords, different words. How uncouth. Its been one week since you looked at me Threw your arms in the air and said youre crazy Five days since you tackled me Ive still got the rug burns on both my knees Its been three days since the afternoon You realized its not my fault not a moment too soon Yesterday youd forgiven me And now I sit back and wait till you say youre sorry BRIDGE ------ (Remember, this relative to the 2nd fret) e---------7------------7--| B-------8-----8------8----| G---7h9---------7--7------| D-------------------------| A-------------------------| E-------------------------| If you don't want to play that riff, just play a G for the bridge, or play G and Cadd9. It sound better like that I think. --- VERSE 2 ------- Nearly the same. But with golf. ---- Chickity China the Chinese chicken You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin Watchin X-Files with no lights on, Were dans la maison I hope the Smoking Mans in this one Like Harrison Ford Im getting Frantic Like Sting Im Tantric Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy Like Kurosawa I make mad films Okay I dont make films But if I did theyd have a samurai Gonna get a set of better clubs Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs Just so my irons arent always flying off the backswing Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing PRECHORUS --------- Making life a bit easier, this is again the same as the one before... How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral Cant understand what I mean? You soon will I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve I have a history of losing my shirt FINAL CHORUS ------------ Again, you've seen it before, go to it! ----- Its been one week since you looked at me Dropped your arms to your sides and said Im sorry Five days since I laughed at you and said You just did just what I thought you were gonna do Three days since the living room We realized were both to blame, but what could we do? Yesterday you just smiled at me Cause itll still be two days till we say were sorry Outro ----- The guitar here is just like for the verses, the percussive G chord. Itll still be two days till we say were sorry Itll still be two days till we say were sorry Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie End on G. ----
