G2020 · 09-18-2006, 02:47 PM

Hey just hoping someone can help me, i saw a really clear video for coconut skins on youtube and could easily make out the two chords which are

3 3
3 3
0 0
0 2
2 2
3 x just wondering if anyone knows what the little hammer-ons are?

the little hammer-ons are

you can hold her hand (G)
then....

3 (dum de) then the second chord 3
3 3
0 0
2 2
0 2
2 x

so in all there is just one hammer on

as this is repeated for going back to G

I adore this song. I'm glad it's so simple to play, for all guitarists who are not me, lol. I think I love its troubadour nature the most.

Oh good. was about to make a thread about this. don't need to bother. I love this song aswell but i don't know what troubadour means.

it means a musician that basically wanders around the place walking but playing music at the same time. sorta like buskin

well i think...

Oh right cool!
Does the song basically go like:

e|3| e|--3-3-33-| e|3| e|--3-3-33-|
b|3| b|--3-3-33-| b|3| b|--3-3-33-|
g|0| g|---------| g|0| g|---------|
d|0| d|-------2-| d|2| d|---------|
a|2| a|-------2-| a|2| a|-------2-|
E|3| E|-3-2-0---| E|0| E|-0-2-3-3-|

it's become a bit squint when i copied it there but its still there

Is coconut skins, accidental babies? If so the chords are F > G > C > Bm > Am > G and then back to F again

They're not the same song if that's what you mean.

Ah, I can't find the lyrics on the main website hence the confusion.
