They Might Be Giants – Metal Detector (Guitar)

G           C               G                   D                   G  C  G  D
Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing

                 G            C           G        D
there's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the

A             G#
fear of the unknown

             C#m     F#            C#m   F#
and I've got something to help you understand

          E       A       E          G#
something waiting there beneath the sand:

C#m   F#     C#m    F#   C#m          F#         C#m    F#
  My metal detector        is with me all of the time

E    A     C#m     B        E    A   C#m   B
 I'm the inspector over the mine

A
 Look past the volley ball

E
 Look past the squawking gull

G#m          A              F#7/A#      G#
  Ignore the mountain of discarded falderal

E   A    C#m     B        E     A   C#m   B
 Metal detector: watch it shine

G        C           G        D              G         C  G   D
Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening

         G           C               G        D
but underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've

A                   D
heard enough of the sea

G         C             G        D    G        C   G       D
then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting

          G          C            G               D          G      G#
so listen not to the sound of the things that are found underground

C#m F# C#m F# C#m F# C#m F# E A C#m B E A C#m B
(W/ weird voice sound)
