King of the moles chords by
James Yorkston
James Yorkston

N/A
Verse 1
D
Bm

Building a dam on the beach with my
D
G

youngest using the broken backs

of black tar and yellow sandstone cracks
D

And porcelain kitchen debris

And bricks branded
G

And struther whims and logs sighed
A

And he tells me,
Bm

Father, when I'm older I shall
G
D

be the king of the malls

And I'll build you a house
A

right here on these rocks
Bm

And we can sit and throw
G

stones at the gods
D

And watch the tide pull them away

We find a bottle and inside there

are talks of one in a million
G

From one mile of the coast
D

There's a number I could call

But I am too shallow
G

For the tears and confusion

That surely would follow

And it's
Bm

Father dear,
G

why are you leaving me here alone?
D
A

This is love, and it's all that I have
Bm

I have lived through this with you
G

And we shall all see it through
D
G
D

For it's love, and it's all I understand

And high up above there's that

one daft kestrel
G

We always see him, we joke,

he's been hunting

crabs
D

Shunting his talons on the rocks

And cursing as our jaws slacken
G

and follow his stuttered flight
A

And he rises above,
Gm
D

watching and hungry still

And it's,
Bm

Father dear,
G

why are you leaving me here alone?
D
A

This is love and it's all that I have
Bm

I have lived through this with you
G

And we shall all see it through
D
G

For it's love and it's all I under
D

stand

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
