Scott plays the song with an accordian but I think it sounds best with these barre chords:
-5-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-6-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-7-----9-----7-----6------------------------|
-7-----10----8-----7------------------------|
-5-----10----8-----7------------------------|
-5-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
The bass line goes A G F E
I ma tell my eyes not to see no colours,
Gonna tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
Keep my eyes on you,
I don t need no others.
Throw away all my old letters,
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
I got a picture of you to replace the sky,
If I lose you in a crowd
I ll sit down and I cry.

Dee dee dee...dee-a
I said Dee dee dee...
I got a tin foil hat to keep me from dreaming,
Gonna sip my wine and stare at the ceiling,
I ma gonna keep my smiles in the bread box,
Till you get home
And choke them down with water
When you leave me all alone.
I m gonna tell my eyes not to see no colors,
Gonna tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
I ll keep my eyes on you,
I don t need no others.
I throw away all my old letters,
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
Got a picture of you to replace the sky,
If I lose you in the crowd
I ll lay down
I ll lay down
I ll lay down
I ll lay down
I ll lay down
And I ll die

Dee dee dee...dee-a
I said dee dee...
I don t need
I don t need
I don t need
I don t need
I don t need no others.
