Moxy Fruvous Chord Progressions/Guitar Tab Set #3
Well, the [G] preacher turned to me
and he [Am] smiled.
He said, [D] "Come and walk with me,
come and [G] walk one more mile."
[G] Now, for once in your life, you're a-[Am]lone,
and you [C] ain't got a dime.
There's no [D] time for the phone.
[G] I told him I'm in no [Am] hurry,
and if [D] I broke her heart,
then please [G] tell her I'm sorry.
Now for once in my life I'm a-[Am]lone,
but I've [C] gotta let her know,
one more [D] time before I go.
CHORUS
I've just [G] gotta get a message to [Am] you.
Hold [C] on. [D] Hold on.
One more [G] hour and my life will be [Am] through.
Hold [C] On. [D] Hold on.
Well, I [G] laughed, but that didn't [Am] hurt,
and it's [D] only her love
that keeps me [G] wearing this smirk.
Now I'm crying, but deep down in-[Am]side,
I [C] did it to him, now it's [D] my turn to die.
I've just [G] gotta get a message to [Am] you.
Hold [C] on. [D] Hold on.
One more [G] hour and my life will be [Am] through.
Hold [C] On. [D] Hold on.
I've just [A] gotta get a message to [Bm] you.
Hold [D] on. [E] Hold on.
One more [A] hour and my life will be [Bm] through.
Hold [D] On. [E] Hold on.
Repeat to fade
(I think Moxy sings this in A and they jump to B at the key change.
The Bee Gees, I think, go from G to A)
Fade-In: [B]
The "F" in this song is actually a Spanish-sounding hybrid chord of F/E:

She [E] lowered her head when they layed all the blame [E] [F]
The charge was [E] clear
Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
And [E] I've been her swordsman of national fame [F]
Her knight so [E] dear
Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
[Bm] Trapped in her [E] castle
[Am] In mourning and [D] still a dreamer
[Bm] What began as a [E] hastle
[Am] If anything [D] wouldn't seem her
I [E] lowered my head when they layed all the blame [E] [F]
I spoke in [E] fear
Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
[E] And I've been her swordsman of national fame [F]
Her knight was [E] here
Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
[Bm] Then we were in [E] college
[Am] And he was our [D] prince of knowledge
[Bm] For my love I would [E] promise
[Am] To be her [D] alibi and accomplace
[E] [F]
[E] Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
[E] [F]
[E] Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane

[F#m] Social Pro[Am]fessor didn't [Abm] stop when he car[Db]ressed her
He [F#m]laughed in [Am]tears at their [E]shame
And [F#m]though she calcul[B]ated,
So it [Abm]was premedi[Db]tated
[F#m]What could [Am]she do?
We [E]lowered our heads when they laid all the blame [E] [F]
Put her away
[E] Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
And [E]I thought the plan would be clearing her name [F]
We lost that day
[E] Poor Mary [Am] Lane, Poor Mary Lane
{key change!}
[F#]Lowered our heads when they layed all the blame [G]
Put her away
[F#] Poor Mary [Bm] Lane, Poor Mary Lane (repeats on fade)

And I've been stepping on the devils tail
Across the stripes of a full moons head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Come admire the view from upon the top of the mast

Yellow sheets in a Hong Kong bed
Stayzbo horn and a Singerland slide
To the carnival is what she said

Two pair of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of burbon; I can't stand up

Capo 2nd Fret
D
The mist of the morning in this strange town,
G D
lifted slowly with the sun,
F#m Bm
refracted the rays in a thousand ways,
G A/A6
a new day just begun.
Bm F#m
And it crowded against my window sill,
G Gm
still sweet with the morning dew.
D
If only you knew,
A D
how much I think of you.
Into the van and down the road,
along the highway fast.
With this band I ride through the countryside,
the seasons sliding past.
I spy a humble homestead there,
with a garden and a river view.
If only you knew,
how much I think of you.
Bridge:
A G
By a stream of running water,
F#m
I heard you laugh.
B7 Em
I closed my eyes for an hour and a half,
A F#m
and tried to make you appear.
B7 Em
I swear in the beauty of the setting sun,
A7
you were here.
An old troubador on the street last night,
plays for our passing change.
a fiddle in g plays a melody,
mysterious and strange.
He learned on a green distant mountain top,
a wedding waltz,
so sweet and true.
D
If only you knew,
A Bm G
how much I think of you.
D
If only you knew,
A D
how much I think of you.

I know I can cope just as long as I hope
Iıve got time
Is that such a crime?

{spoken}
In days of yore this quaint locale
Was thought by its people more fair than foul
Their lives the stuff of simple propriety
But for a mild case of garbage anxiety
With stories and songs the long hours were filled in
And one was the stand-alone fave of the children:
"Tell us the fable of waste that will move us;
Tell us the story of Marion Frvous".
[Abmin] [G] [Abmin] [Eb7]
[Abmin] The folks of [G] Toronto, they [Abmin] had it all
Paper [Eb] thick as New York's and [Abmin] sushi on call
[Eb] Disposable cans of [Abmin] aerosol
And [Dbmin] no one in town seemed to [Abmin] mind at all
[Eb] Except for Marion [Abmin] Frvous. [A]
[Abmin] Somewhere [G] along the [Abmin] dawn she creeps
Where [Eb] yuppies they drive [Abmin] Cherokee jeeps
By [Eb] PCB stashes and [Abmin] styrofoam heaps
[Dbmin] Hiding by walls where [Abmin] asbestos seeps
Thus [Eb] spake our [Abmin] Frvous:
[Dbmin] "Thrive as you may with [Abmin] extravagent ways
[G] Toronto, enjoy your [Dbmin] disposable days
[Dbmin] One day you'll rot in your [Abmin] urban malaise"
Said [Eb] Marion [D] Frvous, [Eb] then she rode off again.
[Abmin] [G] [Abmin] [Eb]
Citizens cowered at Marion's threats
Politicians lost votes and folks had regrets
'Cause the longer we wait the worser it gets
And the Leafs' top defencemen has gone to the Jets
"Whoa! Hey!" said Fruvous.
"Thrive as you may with extravagent ways
Toronto, enjoy your disposable days
One day you'll rot in your urban malaise"
Said Marion Fruvous, then she rode off again.
[B] (spoken)
My colleage and I have been talking this over for
about a week and we think we have come up with a plan
that is going to takecare of the garbage problem.
That's right, with our plan, Toronto will become the
world-class, cosmopolitain city we keep calling it.
[B] We have got a plan, we have had some talks
Have to put the garbage in a small blue box
Fill it up with glass or fill it up with tin
We'll recycle everything that [C#7] they put in
[F#] Take it to the curb on Wednesday
[D#] Rest assured you're nature's [G#min] friend
[E] People all around the [F#] world will have a blue box in the end.[B]
[B] What a thing to do, love the colour blue!
An end to all our troubles when the box comes through
Recycling is here! There's nothing left to fear
Etobicoke to Scarborough was [C#7] set in gear
[F#] Shelter for the poor and homeless
[D#] Drugs and crime will soon be [G#min] gone
[E] Pacify the population and [F#] purify the dawn! [B]
How peacefully Metro folk now slept
But Marion sat by a curbside and wept
Said "the program's a hoax; the stuff must be kept
In a humoungus pile 'til properly prepped
'Til the industries change, 'til we become adept
At rejecting the junk that we've learned to accept"
The words of Marion Frvous.
"Thrive as you may with extravagent ways
Toronto, enjoy your diposable days
One day you'll rot in your urban malaise"
Said Marion Fruvous, then she rode off again. [G#min] [G] [G#min]

[C#/G#] Sad girl [C#dim/G],
[C#/G#] taking every cue [C#dim/G] from every
[C#/G#] ad, girl [C#dim/G].
[C#/G#] Hopelessness is [C#7/E#] easy when it's a

[F#] And being good is [F#min] only when you're a
[C#/F#] bad girl. [C#dim/G] [C#/F#] [C#dim/G]
[A] Sad girl, maybe
[F#min] you've got every [B] reason in this
[C#/F#] mad world. [C#dim/G] [C#/F#] [C#dim/G]
Sad girl,
showing there is nothing you want to be.
Rejecting anyone who loves you truly.
And holding that expression like it's a duty.
Sad girl,
what is it that makes you such a beauty?
[F#] Once in a while, to [F#min] hold your head high
would [D#min7] leave you a [G#sus4] sell [G#] out.
[F#] Resigned to ask why, [F#min] devoted to die,
When [D#7] everything that you've been told,
by any person that you hold,
when [E7] any happiness and love will
give you every reason to lie.
[C#/F#] [C#dim/G] [C#/F#] [C#dim/G]
[C#/F#] [C#dim/G] [C#/F#] [C#dim/G]
Sad girl,
taking every cure from every ad, girl.
Depression is romantic when it's a fad, girl.
And being good in only when you're a bad girl.
Sad girl,
Maybe you've got every reason in this mad world.
[A] Sad girl, maybe
[F#min] you've got every [B] reason in this
[C#/F#] man's world. [C#dim/G]

Buried in silk in the royal [F#] boudoir or [C#] going nuclear [F#] free
Or playing Crokinole with the Princess of [B] Monaco
Telling my jokes to the [F#] OPEC leaders, [C#] getting it all on [F#] video
Once I was the [B] King of [F#] Spain now I eat [C#] humble [F#]

[F#] I can't wait, I'm lowering [B] interest rates, my people say:
"King, how are you such a [F#] genius?
There's a [C#] roof overhead and [F#] food on our plates!"

You see late one night when the palace was [B] asleep
Out of my royal [F#] chambers and [C#] into the garden I [F#] creep
And I wait till the appointed time, when the moon is lighting the [B] pitch
At which point my peasant friend, who looks [F#] just like me
[C#] Arrives and we make a [F#] switch!
Prince and pauper, junior and whopper, world made up of [B] silver and
copper
Under my own [F#] volition, [C#] I took a change of [F#] position
So next time you drool in the [B] pizza line
Remember, slower pizza's more [F#] luscious : the King of Spain never rushes!

Take... We can take a trip up to the corner...
corner... corner... It's not too far...
Ok, I'm ready, anytime.
[F] I have a [Am] college pal who
[Fmaj7] Says we can [Amin] pay one price for [Eb] two
Uhh, Just ask for [D7] 'Roger', at
[F] Video [G] Bargain[Cm]ville
[Cm] We can take a trip up to the [D7] corner, it's not too far, especially
in the car
[Ebdim] There's a friendly store with nice [Eb] decore, and lots of posters
on the door
[Cm] Once past the counter and the news [D7] stand, with a free bag of
popcorn in your hand
[Ebdim] You're ready for the world - No, not the [Eb] band...But a fine
selection in video [Cm] land
Don't be too confused [D7] by the little reviews
[Ebdim] On the back of the box, just pick up the [Eb] boxes, all the boxes
you can use
[Cm] The hipedi-hoppest videos [D7] in the land
Maybe something [Ebdim] foreign, maybe something panned, [Eb] maybe
something formerly banned
[Cm] Perhaps it's something you can watch with [D7] friends, or something
that inevitably [Ebdim] lends
Itself to shapely curves and [Eb] bends of exploited women and their friends
[Cm] Perhaps it's "New York, [D7] New York" with Liza Minnelli and Mickey
Rourke
[Ebdim] No. That's not right... It was [Eb] Robert Deniro, everyone's
favorite video hero

[F] I have a [Am] college pal who
[F]Says we can [Am] pay one price for [Eb] two
Just ask for [D7] 'Roger'
At [F] Video [G] Bargain[Cm]ville
[Cm] So contrary to the desparate [D7] sign, most patrons always "please
rewind!"
[Ebdim] And the clerks don't mind, they're very [Eb] kind, the only stickler
has resigned
[Cm] There's a courteous smoking section in the [D7] back, behind the
bulging exercise video rack
[Ebdim] If you're tired, you can [Eb] hit the sack with the new Ben-Hur
trendy [C] disco double pack
[F] I have a [Am] college pal who

Once we had a friend
was too extravagant
Was not a Bargainville fan
[Eb] pissed off the video man!
[Cm] Soon there will be "program your own" TV [D7], So they ask you to heed
this final plea
[Ebdim] Before it's all dead you should [Eb] rent more, and enjoy video
bargains galore!!

"Laika" is one of my favorite Moxy Früvous songs, so I decided to tab it
out. Where you see (Fig. #), that means that bar is repeated later in
the song. This is my first attempt at tabbing out a song, so if you see
any mistakes or have any comments, please e-mail me.
