polly yeah polly yeah ooh
[Verse 1]
You remain in motion
Bottom of the ocean
Not yet sick of sycophants
Tellin' you their true lies
Like, "No moon is higher,"
Hollow as a hallway
Your fist fits right through me
If I split my body into two men
Would you then love me better?
Octopus myself so you weather this
[Pre-Chorus]
Sea-ea-ea polly
Sea-ea-ea polly
See-ee-ee, see me
[Chorus]
You love dancin' with me
Or you just love dancin'
Polly, polly, polly
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna live here
Sometimes don't wanna live at all
I want to be cotton candy
In the mouth of many a lover
Saccharine and slick technicolor
I'll dissolve
I know that won't solve this (I want to dissolve)
Evolve into rain and spit
You make me go unstitched
Oh, yeah
[Chorus]
Are you dancin' with me?
Or just merely dancin'?
Polly, polly, polly
Yeah
[Verse 3]
One, two, three, four, five, six
Am I just your Friday dick?
Cornucopia of just-in-cases
You'll never have to chase this
[Outro]
Woah, polly, oh, polly
Obviously don't think much of me
Polly, yeah, oh, polly
Polly, yeah, polly, yeah
Polly, ooh

version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: Bb
Okay! So this is far from perfect. I have no idea if thew song is in an alternate tuning so this picking
pattern is not necessarily the one Moses used, but it works. Also, the recording is about 40 ish cents out of
tune so you can't really play along with the song. (BTW, the song is in Bb Major even though it mainly focuses
around Eb, but Eb is the IV. I know it's Bb because the F chord feels distinvtively dominant)
This is the picking patternw which repeats the whole first half, maybe with slight variations:
intro
Ebmaj7 Ebsus4add7 F6
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------7---------------7--------------------------7--| x 4 for verse 1, x 2 after
D|---------5-------8-------------5-------------7-------7-----10--------|
A|----6-------6-------6-----6-------6-------6-----8-------8------8-----|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------6---------------------6---------------------6---------------------6--------|
G|---------7-------------7-------7-------------7-------7-------------7-------7-------------7--|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----6-------6-------6-----6-------6-------6-----6-------6-------6-----6-------6-------6-----|
And then it loops! For the sake of clarity, you need not play the Ebsus4add7 if only strumming chords.
These are the shapes I reccomend. It wont sound exactly like the song but they provide a full sound for sure.
