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.

Wings Over Siros Island
The Extraordinaires
Chords by Robert Mosolgo
Pattern 1:
A F# G E G E
Down by the ocean side I took a ride
G E G E
Pilot to plane as I took to the sky
G E G E
Nothing to hide, I just lay back and glide
(Continue Pattern 1)
Up in the atmosphere everything is clear
You haven’t lived until you’ve been up here
Nothing to fear, I just lay back and steer
Pattern 2:
G D A E G D
Yet I wish I had someone else to share it with
A E
So I could validate the bliss
D Cm G
That I am overcome with, oh it’s done with
Pattern 1:
Down by the pier I found a doll on the ground
I asked around as I headed for town
But she was alone in her rust colored gown
Just then, he walked by and we locked eyes
He was the captain with the sailing supplies
And I was the girl who was frozen in ice
Pattern 2:
When he spoke to me I was powerless to fight
He was dashing and polite
And when he left the shore he promised he’d return
Pattern 3:
G G/F# E B A Cm G (listen for timing…)
E
Late one afternoon, I was laying in my room
B
When I heard a cannon blast from the shore
A Cm G
I ran to the window to see what the commotion was for
Letters filled the sky made of smoke and colored light
From a ship crafted of the finest oak
Using fireworks he spelled a simple question in the smoke
Ending:
G D A E
Will you marry me my darling? Cant you hear my voice is calling?
G D A E
Give me your undying love and I’ll be your seafaring husband
