Rotary Hop by the High Llamas

From the High Llamas’ 2003 Beet, Maize and Corn album. Written by Sean O’Hagan. No capo.

High Llamas - Beet, Maize and Corn

Note: To be perfectly honest I found this one difficult to map out. If anyone would care to check these chords against the song and kindly provide fixes, I would very much appreciate it. Email me at weirwrite at gmail dot com any time.

VERSE 1

[B7] Take the [Amaj7] captain to the [Ebm7] shore [Ab]
[Bbm7] Flip the handle, throw the [Bmaj7] door
[A6] Taken from a grey sky
[Abm7] What name are you known by?

VERSE 2

[B7] Shaken [Amaj7] by a sense of [Ebm7] play [Ab]
[Bbm7] These young men were led a [Bmaj7] way
[A6] Capital of scandal
[Abm7] Crooked words withstand all

[Abm7] [Bbm7] [F#6] (x4)

BRIDGE

It’s [F#m7] time to look for [F#6] somewhere [F#maj7] new
It’s [C#maj7] time to look for [F#6] somewhere [F#maj7] new
To [F#m7] kick the sand from [F#6] off the [F#maj7] shoe
It’s [C#maj7] time to look for [F#6] somewhere [F#] new [B/F#] [F#maj7]

CHORUS

It’s [Bbm7] time to look for somewhere [Bmaj7] new, have others [Abm7] know
We are [F#6] leaving the communal [Cdim] home
We’ll head for the [F#] coast, a day at the [Abm7] most
For [B7] somewhere [F#] new [B/F#] [F#maj7]

VERSE 2

[B7] Many [Amaj7] years have been and [Ebm7] gone [Ab]
[Bbm7] Since the captain came a [Bmaj7] long
[A6] Still, the Thames flows softly
[Abm7] Bridge by bridge we cross thee

[Abm7] [Bbm7] [F#6] (x3)

BRIDGE

It’s [F#m7] time to look for [B/F#] somewhere [F#maj7] new
It’s [C#maj7] time to look for [B/F#] somewhere [F#maj7] new
To [F#m7] kick the sand from [B/F#] off the [F#maj7] shoe
It’s [C#maj7] time to look for [B7] somewhere [F#] new [B/F#] [F#maj7]

CHORUS

It’s [Bbm7] time to look for [F#6] somewhere [Bmaj7] new, have [F#6] others [Abm7] know
We are [F#6] leaving the communal [Cdim] home
We’ll head for the [F#] coast, a day at the [B] most
For [B7] somewhere [F#] new [B/F#] [F#maj7] [F#m] [B/F#] [F#maj7]

CHORUS

It’s [Bbm7] time to look for [F#6] somewhere [Bmaj7] new, have others [Abm7] know
We are [Bmaj7] leaving the com [C#] munal [Cdim] home
We’ll head for the [F#] coast, a day at the [B] most
For [B7] somewhere [F#m7] new [B/F#] [F#maj7] [C#m] [B/F#] [F#maj7]
