Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds - Guitar Chords

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
            The other tab of this was a little confusing so I decided to make a simpler version of it.

Chords used are C F and G7 if playing in C major
but you can use A D and E7 in A major if you find it easier.

Remember, it's in 3/4 time and starts on an upbeat and all chord changes are at the
of the bar/measure.

Listen to a recording to get the feel of it and the vocal melody. If you can't find one,
there is an excerpt of Pete Seeger's version in the Multimedia on MS Encarta and the first
verses are used as the theme to a certain Cannabis-orientated TV show.

C   G7   C


[Verse 1]

C            C                F             C
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
       C            G7               C             G7
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
          C                C               F               C
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one
            C               G7                    G7                C
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same


[Verse 2]

        C             C           F              C
And the people in the houses, all went to the university
      C                G7              C                G7
Where they were put in boxes, and they came out all the same
            C                    C            F          C
And there's doctors, and there's lawyers, and business executives
            C               G7                    G7                C
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same


[Verse 3]

         C               C                F              C
And they all play on the golf course, and drink their martinis dry
         C               G7                C              G7
And they all have pretty children, and the children go to school
        C              C                F              C
And the children go to summer camp, and then to the university
      C               G7              G7                C
Where they are put in boxes, and they come out all the same


[Verse 4]

        C            C             F                 C
And the boys go into business, and marry and raise a family
   C             G7                    C                 G7
In boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
          C                C               F               C
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one
            C               G7                    G7                C
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
