THE DEAD MILKMEN Plum Dumb from Big Lizard In My Backyard Transcribed by: Guitarsurf@aol.com, edited by dhicks@erie.net Tiny addition: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com) I just changed the D in the chorus bit to a Dm, because it just didn't quite sound right. Other than that, all credit goes to the original transcribers. The only other thing I will add is that I find it much easier to play open chords for the Dm and C. If you can do the quick transition on the bar chords for that part, go ahead. Definitely play bar chords for the chorus. Verse: ----- She stands there on the corner decked out in raspberry jeans waiting and watching and oh here he comes he pulls up beside here in a sporty machine rolls down his window and hands her a bag of plums Plums? Eat them he tells here they make you feel great So she hops in the car he steps on the gas she says can't you drive faster it's getting late just a wee bit faster you're not going to fast Chorus: ------ Freeway riding down the freeway cruisin' they are really cruisin' Bb C F A when the plums take affect Bb C F A the plums suddenly juice her mind Bb C Dm she is no longer a nervous wreck Bb C F A now her nerves are blind she feels fine Oh I feel great she says but he already knows it cause she's fingering his hair and biting his toe she's really plumbed out and in her eyes she shows it she says what's the hurry? Drive more slow Moisture drips from her edible lips he looks into her eyes and he's quick to relize that he'd better pull over before he gets to Dover cause if he really wants her now the time is wise Freeway riding down the freeway cruisin' they are really cruisin' Bb C F A when the plums take affect Bb C F A the plums suddenly juice her mind Bb C Dm she is no longer a nervous wreck Bb C F A now her nerves are blind she feels fine She's plum dumb plum dumb plum it plum it plum it plum it plum it Dm yeah!
