Librarian

[ktm293]

Here's what I got, sounds pretty good to me...

Librarian

Capo: 3rd fret

Am                             E
Walk across the courtyard
Am                    E
Towards the library
Am                                 E
I can hear the insects buzzing
      Dm
Beneath my feet

Am                        E
Ramble up the stairwell
Am                      E
Into the hall of books
Am                           E
Since we got the interweb
      Dm
These hardly get used

Am                         E
Duck into the men's room
Am                        E
Combing through my hair
Am                        E
When god gave us mirrors
     Dm
He had no idea

Am                 E
Lookin for a lesson
Am                  E
In the periodicals
Am                        E
There I sigh and listen
     Dm
To the AM radio

Am                          E
Karen of the Carpenters
Am                   E
Singing in the rain
Am                     E
Another lovely victim
          Dm
Of the mirrors either way

Am                            E
It's not like you're not trying
Am                        E
With a pencil in your hair
Am                     E
Tutored by the beauty
             Dm
That you long for in there

Am                    E
Simple little bookworm
Am                E
buried underneath
Am                   E
Is the sexiest librarian
      Dm
Take off those glasses
G
And let down your hair
C
for me

(same chord progression for the rest of song)

So I watch you through the bookcase
Imagining a scene
You and I at dinner
Spending time then we sleep

What then would I say to you
Lyin there in bed
These words with a kiss
I would plant in your head

What is it inside our heads
That Makes us do the opposite
Makes us do the opposite
Of what's right for us

Cause everythin'd be great
And Everything'd be good
If everybody gave
Like everybody could

Sweetest little bookworm
Hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Take off those glasses
And let down your hair
For me

Simple little beauty
Heaven in your breath
Simplest of pleasures
The world at its best

Thanks for this. I'm going to have to sit down wih these tabs this weekend.

[Bojangles.ap]

I think the line is:

with a pencil in your hair,
to defy the beauty the good lord put in there.

Could be wrong, but it seems more in context.

[ItsAllSticky]

Nice work!  The only thing I would add is that all "E" chords are actually Em and on the line about "the good lord put in there" it's Dm to G just like you have in the next section.

[TheBri-Man]

I can't seem to get the strumming down on this...any tips?

[Honest Man]

Take off those glasses
G
And let down your hair
C
for me

I think the actual lyrics are:

Take off those panties, and spread those legs for me.

Thanks for the tabs!
