Fountains Of Wayne
The Valley of Malls
Transcribed by Ray Brizzi ([email protected]) 2/29/04
Em riff
The King of Araby is coming home today
Em riff
It's bumper touching bumper on the motorway
G A C
The sun is in the sky just now
B Em riff
But the road is grey
Em riff
They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades
Em riff
Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades
G A
The Caravan is sorry
C Am B
The driver has a twenty and change
D riff
And we're leaving all the road for dead
Am riff
We're getting tired of the twists and turns
D riff
You gotta go when human nature calls
C B
We're driving, we're driving
Em riff
Through the valley of malls
Em riff
And God forgive the passengers if we should fail
Em riff
To find a penny fountain of a half-off sale
G A
I need a merchant
C B Em riff
I've just started searching for a Holy Grail
Em riff
Fighting for the freedom from a common bond
Em riff
To be a barracuda in the guppy pond
G A C Am B
So little time for so many things to try on
Instrumental verse same chords
D riff
And we're leaving all the road for dead
Am riff
We're getting tired of the twists and turns
D riff
You gotta go when human nature calls
C B
We're driving, we're driving
Em riff
Through the valley of malls
Em riff
Through the valley of malls ......
Em riff is an alternating 022000 020000 (em/em7)
D riff is an altenating 200232 200230 (d/dsus2)
Am riff is an alternating 002210 002010 (am/am7)
(You'll hear the rhythm as you play it)
This lead riff is played repeatedly between verses and at the intro and fadeout
