Subject: CRD: Timothy by Dada

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....
