Frank Black - Song of the Shrimp: chords

Dm                         A7
I saw three shrimps in the water
                      Dm
And two were old and grey
                    Gm
So I swam a little closer
       A7                  Dm
And I heard the third one say

Chorus:
                Gm
Goodbye mommy shrimp
Dm                 A7
And Papa shake my hand
Dm               Gm
Here comes the shrimp boat for
    Dm         A7    Dm
To take me to Louisiane

He showed his mama and his
papa papa papa papa papa papa papa
The shrimp newspaper he read
And there the advertisement
To all the young shrimps said

Chorus:
"Free ride New Orleans
To stay in Grand Hotel
Meet Creole gals
That help you out of your shell"

Goodbye mommy shrimp
And Papa shake my hand
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane

His poor mama and his poor
papa papa papa papa papa papa papa
They haven't heard from him yet
Last time they've seen his smiling face
Is when he jumped into the net

Goodbye mommy shrimp
And Papa shake my hand
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane

Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me to Louisiane
Here comes the shrimp boat for
To take me ah take me
