Chord Keep A Lid On Things by Crash Test Dummies

i was never a huge fan of this band until i heard this song . it’s really weird and beautiful , as is the rest of the album . i’ve been messing around and playing this tune for years , and was surprised to find that no one had submitted this . it’s accurate , but i’ll offer this suggestion : if you really want to get the sound of the organ for the verses , only play the fifth and octave for the B major and a major chords , and play the root and fifth for the emajor . the best way to do this is to play the B barre chord up at the seventh fret , then move down two frets for A , and then move back up to the seventh fret for E . when playing like this , * only play the two notes on the a and D strings for each chord . * verse B who put the doggy in the doghouse? A E you did , baby - you did B who put your granny in the grannyhouse? A E you did , baby - you did , baby B who put the mad in the madhouse? A E you did , baby - you did B who put that junk in the junkhouse? A A you did , baby - you did , baby chorus : for the chorus , rather than just playing the two notes for each chord , play each full chord . c#min E keep your eye on things while i’m gone B keep a lid on things c#min A don’t you try everything while i’m gone B keep a lid on things that’s it . repeat until the end .
