Think About Your Troubles by Harry Nilsson
in the style of Belly (Tonya Donelly)

I have given the chords here. It's optional, but
I like to keep the feel of the rocking
(as in swaying ;) that's in the beginning
by lifting my finger off of the middle string
that's played in the chord every two full strums.
(ex. 1&2& (lift finger) 3&4&
For the F#m I move fingers 2 and 3 over
one string. ex.strings A,D to D,G

For the intro pluck the b string
alternating an open b string and
second fret for every two plucks.
B=Open B string
2=Second fret on B string

B 2
Sit beside the breakfast table
B 2
Think about your troubles
B 2
Pour yourself a cup of tea
B 2
And think about the bubbles
A (Strum)
You can take your teardrops
A
And drop them in a teacup
D F#m
Take them down to the riverside
F#m
And throw them over the side
F#m
To be swept up by a current
E
And taken to the ocean
E
To be eaten by some fishes
A
Who were eaten by some fishes
A
And swallowed by a whale
D
Who grew so old
F#m
He decomposed
F#m
Do do do, do do do
F#m
He died and left his body
F#m
To the bottom of the ocean
E
Now everybody knows
E
That when a body decomposes
A
The basic elements
A
Are given back to the ocean
D
And the sea does what it oughta
F#m
And soon there's salty water
F#m
(That's not too good for drinking)
E
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
E
(So they run it through a filter)
A
And it comes out from a faucet
A
(And is poured into a teapot)
D
Which is just about to bubble
F#m E
Now think about your troubles
(Now)
A D F#m
Noooow
E
Now, Now
A
Now
D
Oh ooOH oooh
F#m
Oh oh
E
down(?) down, down, down
A
Now
D F#m
Are you sleeping? can you hear me?
E A
Now, Now,
D
La la da da da
F#m
La la
