Strum
D-DU-UDU
Drinking
In order to feel
Thinking
Reinventing the wheel
Kicking up mischief and feeding the fire
Kicking up mischief and walking the wire
Little fish you count for nothing
Do your thing until you die
Keep your powder dry
In order and line
Thinking
And sinking the wine
Kicking up mischief and feeding the fire
Kicking up mischief and walking the wire
Little fish just keep on flapping
Do your thing until you die
Keep your powder dry
Mmm ooh Mmm ooh
Kicking up mischief and walking the wire
Kicking up mischief and feeding the fire
And feeding the fire
Play the D muted and mostly with downward strokes to sound more the album, but you can
it without and it's still good fun. Really get into the chorus though, because then if
do play the D muted it's a great loud-soft dynamic when you go back to D after the first
of the chorus (not that they're really choruses!).
