Flight of the Conchords – Brets Day (Guitar)

      D
I was wondering through the streets of the city

                                Em    A
Rambling through the avenues of time

          D                                                                  Em    A
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl, and by chance her eyes fell onto mine

     D
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant

                            Em      A
She smoked her lavender cigarette

D                                                                   Em
Reading the future that lay in my hands, as my shadow played a bass clarinet

                  D
We waltzed down a molded boulevard

                            Em     A
Just two silhouettes in thе mist

D
Days went by and years wеnt by

                        Em       A
Moments went by when we kissed

               D
She said "your beard is woven of heartache"

                                 Em      A
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight

        D
And the moon is a horny old drunkard

                                            Em
Uh Bret, could you please move over to your right?

         D                                                                   Em    A
We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced about the moment we first met that day

        D
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced

                    Em    A
Oh ya? Sounds a bit gay

    D
She handed me a broken memory

                           Em     A
A keepsake to forever more save

       D
That a brief taste of love is as sweet as any

                  G        D
And with that she made her way

    D
She said her name was a secret

                              Em     A
Then she said her name was Cherise

D
Is her middle name Cherise?

    Em
Hmm maybe

           A
What'd she look like?

    D
She looked like a Parisian river

                             Em
She looked like a chocolate eclair

       A
That's weird

    D
Her eyes were reflections of eyes

                               Em
And the rainbows danced in her hair

   A
Oh ya

      D
She reminded me of a winter's morning

                          Em
Her perfume was eau de toilette

          A
What does that mean?

        D
She was comparable to Cleopatra

                              Em
She was like Shakespeare's Juilet

      D
What 13?

      D                                                                      Em       A
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes as we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan

    D                    G
The rivers of ribbon and sails of sock

                               Em
Bret, did any of this actually happen?

    D
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind

     G                 Em    A
It's true, I saw her today

    D
The other details are inventions

        G                 D
Because I prefer her that way
