Biography:
An indie rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania currently signed to Punk Rock Payroll in South Philly, The Extraordinaires are a unique act. Their albums are released as handmade, hand-screened cloth-bound storybooks. Their shows are theatrical and energetic. Their singer's guitar is shaped like a fish.
The Extraordinaires have produced three full-length albums to date. Their first, "Ribbons of War," is a brilliant themed CD telling the operatic love tale of the brooding Captain, the fair Annelies, and their forbidden love.

Ikua - The Extraordinaires
by Robert Mosolgo
Verse 1
G (Em) C Eb D
Well I received my father's name and I wear it like a pin
G (Em) C Eb D
He received his father's name like his father before him
G Em C
So I'll just go on wearing this around
G Em C D
And show it off in every single town
G Em C
And I'll climb this tree and let my legs hang free until I find
Eb D
the root of my family line.
(Now walk up the bass line from G to D, then play Eb D)
Verse 2:
Well I may be a city rat but cowboy's in my blood
Ridin round on horseback with a lasso just because
IKUA PURDY
A living breathing legend in his time
And I'll wrap this sandwich up in cellophane until we ride
Into my family's horizon line
Bridge:
C Cm
He went roaming in Wyoming
G Em
horseback riding and cattle roping
C Cm
he roped that steer in record time
D D7
they saw him as an outcast till he showed them how to ride
Ending:
So I say,
G Em C D
I K U A P U R D Y
G C Eb D (G)
A living breathing legend in his ti i ime
