Nizlopi - JCB Song
(interpretation by Chris Harrison)
Daft this, but great too.
Standard tuning, capo 2nd fret
Cadd9 G Fmaj7 Gsus4
(C) (G) (F) (G2)
e--3-------3-------0---------3--
b--3-------3-------1---------1--
g--0-------0-------2---------0--
D--x-------0-------3---------0--
A--3-------x-------3---------2--
E--x-------3-------1---------3--
The patterns for each chord go something like this.
C G F G2
-----0---3-0---------0---3-0---0---------------------------------
---3-----------3---3---3-----3-----------1---------------3-1-----
-------------------------------------2-----2---------0-------0---
---------------------------------------3---------------0-------0-
-3-----3---------------------------3---------------2-------------
-----------------3---------------1-------------1-3---------------
Then you play at twice the tempo for the outro
(although instead, I quite like strumming it)
Nice.
INTRO:
[C G C G]
VERSE1:
[ C G]
Well I'm rumblin' in this JCB
[ C G ]
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sittin' beside me
[ F G2 ]
and the engine rattles my bum like beserk
[ F G2 ]
while we're singin' don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work
VERSE2:
[ C G ]
My dad's probably had a bloody hard day
[ C G ]
but he's been good fun and bubblin' and jokin' away
[ F G2 ]
and the procession of cars stuck behind
[ F G2 ]
they're gettin' all impatient and angry but we don't mind
CHORUS1:
[ F G2]
And we're holdin' up the by-pass oh-wo
[ F G2]
me and my dad havin' a top laugh oh-wo
[ F G2]
I'm sittin' on the tool box oh-wo
[ F ]
an' I'm so glad I'm not in school boss
[ G2 ]
so glad I'm not in school

VERSE3: (same pattern as VERSE1)
And we pull over and let the cars pass
and pull off again speeding by this summer green grass
and we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
like Zoids or Transformers or maybe even bigger
VERSE4: (same pattern as VERSE1)
An' I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex
and eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
an' I tell all my mates my dad's BA Baracus
only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nun chukas
CHORUS2: (same pattern as CHORUS1)
And we're holdin' up the by-pass oh-wo
me and my dad havin' a top laugh oh-wo
I'm sittin' on the tool box oh-wo
an' I'm so glad I'm not in school-box
so glad I'm not in school
CHORUS3: (same pattern as CHORUS1)
And we're holdin' up the by-pass oh-wo
me and my dad havin' a top laugh oh-wo
I'm sittin' on the tool box oh-wo
an' I'm so glad I'm not in school-box
so glad I'm not in school
[PAUSE]
