Auntie Alice chords

Auntie Alice

• G

Capo 3

Gadd11
320013

Cmaj7 (in this context)
022010


You can replace the Gadd11-G finger thing with the Cmaj7-Em one if you like. 
Or try C-Em, using the index finger and the pinky simultaneously to hit the Cs 
on the second and fifth strings. That actually sounds best to me.
The important thing is the B-C-B-C note alternation for that riff.


Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
Auntie Alice, where are you now?
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
We rung your number and they called it "disconnected."
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
In a dream you come sailing out
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
of a pool of deep blue water.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
Auntie Alice keeps spiders in her house,
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
feeds them earwigs and mosquitoes.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
Her pink tongue comes darting out
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
from where her front teeth are missing.

Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C         
I went downstairs in the middle of the night
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
'cause I heard her scratching at the door.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
She fed me chocolates and said she couldn't sleep,
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
asked me what the bug light was for.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
Auntie Alice wears the same dress every day.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
Butter turns green on her counter.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
She sings me songs she learned on Christmas eve,
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am        C
tells me stories about castles.

"The number you have dialed
   C                   Em
is not in service" it said,
      Am          D
"hang up or dial again."
        C                                D
Auntie Alice have you found your palace yet?

Auntie Alice, look out for us
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
who think we know where we are going.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
Your picture gathers dust on the fridge
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
and watches us keep our appointments.
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
Auntie Alice howling through the woods,
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
Auntie Alice in my dream,
Gadd11 G Gadd11 G  Am      C
somehow gone from the phone book for good.
G                  Am           G
Life forms around you when you leave.
