Maria Mckee - Panic Beach guitar tab

Here's my attempt at Maria McKee's "Panic Beach" off her

first solo CD. Some of the chords maybe off (Bm7 instead of Bm

for example) but I think its pretty close. Let me know of any problems

Listen to the song for specific timing (ie A --> Asus4)

Capo 3rd fret - chords written as if first position (ie A=C)

Intro A Asus4 A

*Verse 1*

A Asus4 A

Well the dog act got drunk again last night

F#m D Bm

And the King and Quenn of the waltz clog team had another fight

D A

King was careless with his tango grip

E Bm

Nearly lost his queen in a dip

D A

Yeah, she righted herself, straightened out her slip

E

and kicked him in the shin

*Verse 2*

A Asus4 A

Miss Billy Begonia thinks she's hit the big time

F#m D

She wants a thick red rug from the dressing room door

Bm

To the frontline of the footlights

D A

She's got a sky blue swandown powder puff

E Bm

and a corset to keep her spirts up

D A

Yeah, she don't sweat, she sours and melts

E

Like ice cream in the sun

Bm

She'll be out of a job at the end of this

D/C# D

Three week run

*Chorus*

D A D Dsus2

We're havin fun out here, on Panic Beach

A D Dsus2

All the Vaudeville bums are here, out on Panic Beach

F#m

I hear them talk about the palace

Bm D

But its so far out of reach

A

So I'll do my time

E A A/B A/C# D

Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

A A/B A/C# D

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

*Verse 3 - same chords has verse 2*

The visionary theatric strikes a juggler's seesan tune

and the dying swan pirouettes and fawns

by the light of the street lamp moon

When my trunk is filled with taffeta

Those big time hacks won't laugh at us

When my taps are mado of silver

I can make the kiddies thrill for just one buck and wing

Yeah, I will nail them to my heel and the pnaic choir sings

*Chorus II - same chords as Chorus*

Here comes a lucky little thing to panic beach

yeah, you know we got to teach him how to sing

While we're stuck on panic beach

Ah, the way ya hear em say it

Doesn't seem so out of reach

So I'll do my time

Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

*Little waltzy instrumental not completely figured out - I just goof around on

the D A E Bm, but its not right*

*Verse 4 - same chords as verse 2 except no chord over first line - pick up

with F#m in second line*

Well the landlord gets a free show, every Saturday at six

Sometimes on Sunday all dependin on whatever kind of

mood he's in

I keep his glass filled up with sherry

And sing him all his favorite songs

If a tear comes to his eye, he may let

A month go by before he takes away my key

Oh, that sherry, starts to taste real good to me

Hey mam look at me on panic beach

I may be hungry but my rent is free up on panic beach

yeah, I can almost see the palace

No longer out of reach

So I'll do my time

Then say goodbye to Panic Beach

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Fade on A D
