Petrov Yelyena And Me by Flight Of The Conchords
Petrov Yelyena And Me
(i dont know the names of the chords though)
A: 577655
B: 779997
C: 557775
For most of the song Bret's strumming is this:
(but in the beginning Bret plucks it like Jemaine's part further down)
A
e|--5---5-5-5---5---5-5-5----|
B|--5---5-5-5---5---5-5-5----|
G|--6---6-6-6---6---6-6-6----|
D|--7---7-7-7---7---7-7-7----|
A|--7---7-7-7---7---7-7-7----|
E|--5---5-5-5---0---0-0-0----|
(for the first strum Bret just strums the first two strings)
every other strum of this Bret makes the low E an open note
then for the parts like "lost but happy at sea" you strum the B once, then C once, then
strumming A again:
e|---7---5---5---|
B|---9---7---5---|
G|---9---7---6---|
D|---9---7---7---|
A|---7---5---7---|
E|---7---5---5---|
Then for the parts like "three days later they were hungry again" you play the A chord
then move down one fret, play once, move down again and play once again, then start the A
again, like so:
e|--5---4---3---|
B|--5---4---3---|
G|--6---5---4---|
D|--7---6---5---|
A|--7---6---5---|
E|--5---4---3---|
For Jemaine's parts, he does the same thing except he plucks the chords like so:
e|------------------|
B|-----5-5-----5-5--|
G|-----6-6-----6-6--|
D|-----7-7-----7-7--|
A|--7-------7-------|
E|------------------|
then when it goes B, C, then back to A strumming Jemaine just plucks all four of those
same with when you go down a fret with the A chord

A B
Petrov, Yelyena, and me. Lost, but happy, at sea
C A B C
A
Petrov and Yelyena said to me "Shouldn't we have something to eat?"
A D E F
I say "There are plenty of fish in the sea"
C B A
But all they can see... is me.
A B
They say, "Any last requests?" Biding my time, I say "Yes.
C A B C A
I want to party, just we three. Lost, but happy at sea."
A
So we drank all night from the keg
I passed out, then awoke with one leg
I said, "Petrov, have you seen my leg?"
B C A
He said "No" and he went back to bed....
B C A
But he looked suspiciously well fed.
A D E F
Three days later they were hungry again
C B A
They said, "Any last requests, my friend?"
A
I said, "Do you know the Rolling Stones?
Like we were at a rock concert, you know? Ya. Drinking Coca-Cola,
and we got big time? No. Ya, it was a hilarious, hilarious moment in a very bleak bleak
of my life."
A
So we danced all night to the Rolling Stones,
A B
when I awoke they were chewing on bones.
C A
Yelyena was supping blood from a cup,
B C A
that's when I knew something was up.
A
"Petrov?"
"What?"
"What is that you're eating?"
"What I am eating?"
"It looks like a meat."
"It's fish."
"But, it has fingers."
"Fish fingers."
"You see, you remember my arm?"
"Ooh, vaguely."
"Well, this morning I wake up and it has been hacked off at the elbow."
"Oh. That's right, you were very drunk last night. You probably lost it...in a game of chance."
"You are probably right."
"Relax, have some...fish."
C
Four months now lost at sea,
A B
my friends have almost finished me.
C A
Now they are using recipes....
B C A
Tonight, we are having 'me goering'
A
"You know the Malaysian dish? With the, umm, meat and noodle, but in this
case, ya? Oh never mind. Silly, silly joke really.
"Bertolt, come have some of this 'you goering' it's delicious."
"How can I, you have eaten all of my leg?!"
*Mocking* "How can I you have eaten all of my leg."
C
Later that night, while they were asleep,
A B
I swallowed some arsenic to poison my meat
C A
I was very ill, but revenge is so sweet...
B C A
Unlike the last meal my comrades would eat.
A
"Yes, eat it all up, ah! Not so sweet all of a sudden, hmm?"
(For the 'Oooh' part they play A then bring it up to the first fret, then back down)
A
When I awoke, they were already dead
A B
All that was left of me was my head...
C A
No, not dead, just a head.
B C A
Lost, but happy, at sea.
B C A
Lost, but lonely, at sea.
C B
Lost, but so lonely...
A
At sea
