III. telegraph ave. ("Oakland" by Lloyd) - Childish Gambino (Cover) by Alice Kristiansen chords
Start Jamming...
Hi everyone!
So today I'm going to be doing a cover of Telegraph Ave by Childish Gambino.
I had some help with this track.
The piano part is mine, but my friend Tyler Cordy made a beat to put on top of it,
because I'm utterly incapable of that.
And if you want to check out his music, it's really good.
And I'll put his Spotify link and other links in the description.
I really recommend it.
You guys listen to Aqua Blue Honda, because I've listened to that like 50 times.
So yeah, I hope [Bm] you enjoy this, [G] because it was fun making it.
Okay, [A] thanks.
[Em]
[Bm] [G] [A] [Em]
[Bm] [G] [A] [Em]
[Bm] [G] For the moment, if you tell me turn around, [A] then I want it, for the moment, but [Em] you know me,
know how I get [Bm] when I'm lonely, and I think about you in [G] the moments, but everything you do is [A] so Oakland, so Oakland.
[Em] Put on the gas, [Bm] I'm just trying to pass [G] all the red lights [A] and stop signs.
[Em] I'm ready to go [Bm] before I get to the bay, babe, that's the [G] problem,
because I'm way too scared to [A] call, you might get me to stay [Em] alone.
[Bm] [G] [A] [Em] I don't really mind the [Bm] drive, but I think I'd rather [G] die in Oakland, [A] in Oakland.
[Em] With my hands on too intense, [Bm] so I guess it all [G] depends on Oakland, [A] on Oakland.
[Em] And I'm nervous, truth be [Bm] told, you never saw me growing [G] old in Oakland, [A] in Oakland.
[Em] And if I married you tonight, [Bm] it would probably start a riot [G] in Oakland, [A] in Oakland.
[Em] Everything that [Bm] I needed, now that I got you and your [G] feelings, everything you want to say, [A] you tweeted,
and I don't like that [Em] shit at all, so [Bm] treated.
Can we just roll with the [G] feeling?
Can we just roll for [A] a minute?
Wait a minute.
[Em] Put on the gas, [Bm] I'm just trying to pass all [G] the red lights [A] and stop signs.
[Em] I'm ready to go, [Bm] but I'm really not ready, girl, that's the [G] problem,
because I'm way too scared to [A] fall, and you know you choose to say, [Em] oh.
All your girlfriends say, here we [Bm] go again, rich kid, but he acts like a [G] gentleman.
Last one didn't win, like it [A] should have been.
Two dates and he still want to [Em] get in.
And they say it's because of the [Bm] internet.
Try it once and it's on to the [G] next chick.
X on the old face on your [A] exes, right?
And we could [Em] do the same thing if you want to have it, and when your [Bm] thoughts can't breathe,
and you're thinking asthmatic, and you [G] want to be a mom, and it wasn't my bad,
I always [A] think about me, I'd be really bad at it, I don't [Em] think about me.
Weeks in Dubai, [Bm] 4th of July, house in Kauai, [G] yeah, we can try.
[A] So let's try.
[Em] I took off my 9 to 5, [Bm] but you still don't have the time [G] to kiss me, [A] just hit me.
And [Em] if I left you all alone, [Bm] would you still pick up the phone?
[G] It's Ify, [A] you miss me, and [Em] I got furniture to move, [Bm] and we'll both be 30 soon.
[G] In Oakland, [A] in Oakland, the [Em] only word I know is you, [Bm] so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
[G] In Oakland, [A] in Oakland, [Em] in Oakland, [Bm] in [G] Oakland, [A] [Em] in Oakland,
[Bm] [G] in Oakland. [A] In [Em] Oakland.
