THE DEAD MILKMEN
Shaft In Greenland

The only bit I'm not entirely sure of is the B with a question
mark (not obvious) in the chorus. The B doesn't sound quite
right, but nothing else does either! For the verse, play that
ska rhythm that they often use. I'm sure you can figure it out.


Verse:
-----
    D#m     A#m     D#m     A#m
The world's full of danger
You do what you can
You'll feel like a stranger
Like Shaft in Greenland


Chorus:
------
F#                C#
Travel around and meet all the people
B
Don't be afraid to touch them lightly
F#                B?
Travel around and meet all the people
C#            E           B  D#m
Speak to them so politely
Travel around and meet all the people
Don't be afraid to shake their hands
Travel around and meet all the people
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland


verse:
The world is your oyster
So rake in the clams
And have an adventure
Like Shaft in Greenland

chorus:
Travel around and see the tundra
Don't be afraid to get out of your car
Travel around and see the tundra
A little bit of Shaft goes real far
Travel around and see the tundra
Dig for dinner in the cold, damp sand
Travel around and see the tundra
See how it feels to be Shaft in Greenland

verse riff:


Bridge:
------
F#             A#m  B
He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
F#             A#m  D#m
He was big and bad, so he traveled to the land of the midnight sun
F#             A#m  B
He was big and bad, so he traveled to Greenland
F#             A#m  D#m
He was big and bad, so he traveled to a land
         B
Where it always snowed and nobody got a tan


verse:
The world is a ghetto
A rusted tin can
So pack a stiletto
Like Shaft in Greenland

Fade out.
