Shoe Box

"Born On A Pirate Ship"
Shoe Box

! Found this floating around on the newsgroups a few weeks ago, so I'll submit
! on this fellow's behalf in case it didn't get through.

! Just got the Shoe Box EP and I'm pleased to pass on the important rhythmic
! bits of BNL's new single as I hear them. I would normally do this in full tab
! but there's no tricky solo or anything, and I think just a listen or three to
! the song and the chords will probably get most fans through okay. All the
! chords sound right to my ears, but if you've got better suggestions, fire
! away.

> D E G
(1) A key in the door, a step on the floor
> Gm A D
A note on the table and a meal in the micro
> E G
Note says "I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
> Gm A D
If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
> E G
And when I'm asleep, I dream you move in next week"
> Gm A
I crumple the note and save it to put inside my

> D A
PRE-CHORUS: Shoe box (shoe box)
> Bm A G
Shoe box of lies

> D E G
(2) It's under my bed, it's never been read
> Gm A D
It's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
> E G
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
> Gm A D
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
> E G
He's not seventeen, and doesn't know what you mean
> Gm A
When talk turns to single malts or stilton or my

> D A
CHORUS: Shoe box (shoe box)
> Bm A G
Shoe box of lies
> D A
Shoe box (shoe box)
> Bm A G
Shoe box of lies

> G A G A G
BRIDGE: Did somebody tell you this is how it's supposed to be?
> A Bm G D A
Or are you just finding you don't want any more from me?

! ("one-note solo" over chorus-like --- progression x2)

> D E G
(3) Was it something I said or was it something you read
> Gm A D
That's making me think that I should never have come here
> E G
I can offer you lies, I can tell you goodbye
> Gm A D
I can tell you I'm sorry, but I can't tell the truth, dear
> E G
And what if I could-would it do any good?
> Gm A
'Cause you'll never get to see the contents of my

> D A
CHORUS: Shoe box (shoe box)
> Bm A G
Shoe box of lies
> D A
Shoe box (shoe box)
> Bm A G
Shoe box of lies

> G A G A
BRIDGE: You're so nineteen-ninety, and it's nineteen-ninety-four
> G A Bm G D A
Leave this world behind me 'cause you don't want me anymore

! (vamp --- progression with "Lie-ee-yie" all the way home and end on a )

! There are two versions of "Shoe Box" being shipped to radio stations, so the
! version you hear first may start with the chorus riffs twice (the single
! remix) or it may begin just with Steven Page's vocals (that's the album
! version).

! I haven't figured out whether the song should be played with open or barre
! chords, so right now I'm using a mix of both, depending on the part of the
! song, until I see what feels comfy. The bulk of the song is played in
! straight 4/4 downstrokes, though during the third verse and part of the
! outro, they're off-beat upstrokes, which sounds kinda cool. My chord choices:
! : [000232] or [X5777X]
! : [022100]
! : [355433] or [320003]
! : [355333]
! : [X02220] or [577655]
! : [X24432]
! : [000233]
! : [X0223X]
! (The guys do sound like they're sneakin' in a fast Dsus4 and an Asus4 during
! the chorus, so those of you who wanna put 'em in there for the full effect,
! go to town
