Don't Feed The Trolls by Jonathan Coulton
Don't Feed The Trolls
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
The timing on most of the G to A chords is complicated because it's more of a
riff than chords.
I believe the riff goes
G B A G
e|3-7-5-3-|
B|0-------|
G|0-------|
D|0-------|
A|0-------|
E|3-7-5-3-|
So you're sliding the G shape UP to a B, DOWN to an A then BACK to G. The
picking pattern also changes to
Down-Mute-Mute during the G chords.
It's very hard to explain in words. Just listen to the song with what I typed
in mind.
[Verse 1]
D2
Lucy had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell
D2
Lucy went to heaven but she still felt like hell
D2 G
So she only gave it two stars
G A
Worst place ever
D2
She's the kind of person, anyway she tries
D2
Always disappointed so she never feels surprised
D2 G
When she is always disappointed
[Pre-chorus 1]
G
She holds my hand like I'm a barbed wire fence
G A D2
Dance like they're watching you 'cause they are watching you
[Chorus]
D A
And when the bright lights find you
G A
Don't let your heart get lazy
D A
Keep all the worst behind you
Bm A
That stuff will make you crazy
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
[Verse 2]
D2
Hello operator, please give me number nine
D2
If you disconnect me I think that would be fine
D2 G
Because all I can hear is talking
G A
So much talking
D2
Appreciate the outrage, I did the best I could
D2
I thought about your think piece, I don't think it's any good
D2 G
And anyway, I didn't read it
[Pre-chorus 2]
G
Who writes this stuff? 'Cause it makes no sense
G A D2
I just checked my privilege and it looks fine to me
[Chorus]
D2 A
And when the bright lights find you
G A
They're gonna shine right through you
D2 A
Keep all the worst behind you
Bm A
Don't let the words get to you
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
[Verse 3]
D2
The flies are in the meadow, the bees are in the park
D2
Girls and boys are kissing as we stumble in the dark
D2 G
And we don't have a lot of time left
[Pre-chorus 3]
G
You clutch your chest, you fake a heart attack
G
Laugh it up, nothing looks good on me
G
Somebody called, they want their something back
G A D2
I'm not a piece of meat, I guess I'd like to be
[Chorus]
D2 A
And when the bright lights find you
G A
Bro, come on, bro, don't tase me
D2 A
Keep all the worst behind you
Bm A
That stuff will make you crazy
[Outro]
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G A
Don't read the comments and don't feed the trolls
G
D2 = xx032x You can play a regular D if you want to though. Or a D5. Whatever
sounds best to you.
