Chords for STILL GOT IT: Robyn Hitchcock — Shufflemania

It's Mark Montgomery French.
Today on Still Got It, Robin Hitchcock lets out another [Gb] hen.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Eb] _ Surrealist [Ab] whimsy never goes out of style because it never was in style.
For example,
Disney's Alice in Wonderland found no audience in the straight-laced 1950s,
but its surrealist whimsy and hallucinatory visions [Eb] were heralded in the 1970s.
What could have possibly changed in 20 years?
_ [F] _
_ _ The English music scene of the 1970s featured punk, post-punk, and goth bands,
so [A] the surrealist whimsy of the softboys went mostly overlooked. _ _

_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] When [Eb] they split in 1981, guitarist Kimberly Roo formed the mainstream pop group Katrina and the
Waves, and he wrote_

And _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [B] the other three members [N] of the softboys?
They formed Robin Hitchcock and the [D] Egyptians. _ _ _

[Bb] Now, _ _ [N] in his 45th year on record, Hitchcock returns boyless and Egyptian-free with his
witty Shufflemania.
If you're already thinking, wow, I like this show, [E] please, may I have another,
please tap the subscribe [N] button and the bell next to it, and every Wednesday it will be
delivered right to you.
I know, it's a perfect world, isn't it?
Okay, on with the episode.
Hitchcock loves creating vivid portraits of eccentrics who may or may not have lived,
so if you enjoyed_
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] You are primed for his fandom of The [B] Shuffleman. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] Oh yes, [E] oh yes, oh yes, oh [B] yes, oh yes.
_ Shuffle that is prissy, shuffle that is rad.
I'm on a high, [E] fuckin' shuffle man. _
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, [B] oh yes.
[E] Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, [B] oh yes, oh yes.
_ [G] To a regular person, Philosopher's on a Plane sounds like some old Samuel L.
Jackson flick,
but to Hitchcock, it sounds like an event worth writing about in Socrates and Thin Air.
Oh, and this one features Kimberly Roo of [Eb] Katrina and the Waves, you know,
like in Walking on Sunshine.
[Dm] You know, like I just said that?
Yeah, that [C] guy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Speaking of guest guitar players, Johnny Marr shows up.
You know Johnny Marr,
[Bb] he used to play guitar in The The and Modest Mouse and some other [Gbm] bands.
Well,
he shows up and drapes his talent all over the quixotic The Inner Life of Scorpio.
It racks their very [Em] beating, _ _
[Bm] _ it rocks their [A] way of seating. _
_ It's the inner [E] life, _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] Scorpio. _ _
_ _ The Raging [Gb] Muse has the punch and sonics of a classic Lennon rocker,
if Lennon was deeply paranoid about fish positions.
[E] I look at Dorothy, [A] _ _ [E] _
the [D] lady's fishing across the _ _ [E] grassy stream, _ _ _
_ [D] and the picture of mine _ [A]
is getting [E] to look sky, _ _ _ _ [D] and the picture of her name. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [N] Chaotically clever and absurdly appealing, may you all be lucky enough
to be infected with shuffle mania.
So I say check it out, and I'll see you next Wednesday.
_ And then tap the bell, and every Wednesday it'll be
