The Polka Polka - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

The main instrument in this song, since it's Skid's, seems to be a
mandolin, but I'm pretty
sure there is a guitar there too.  I've tabbed everything as if it was
on a guitar though.

G - 320033
C - x32010
D - xx0232

Intro (something like this...):
E|--10----10--10--8--7-------------------------------------------------------
B|----------------------10--8--7---------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------9--7---------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------10--9--7-----------------------------
A|------------------------------------------------10--9----------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It also seems to be doubled an octave lower, or maybe there is another
guitar doing
something different, I don't know.

G

It's the polka polka, sing along

Everything below, up to the la la la part, consider the chorus:

G           C             D              G
Polka polka dance for me, living life so merrily
G            C              D           G
It's so easy can't you see, polka polka dance for me

Polka polka everyone, come along it's lots of fun
Send your troubles on the run, polka polka everyone

La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la riff:
E|--12--10----------12--10----10--10--10----------------------
B|----------12--13------------------------13--10--12----------
G|----------------------------------------------------12------
D|--------------------------------------------------------12--
A|------------------------------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------------------------------

E|--12--10----------12--10----10--10--10--------------
B|----------12--13------------------------13--10------
G|------------------------------------------------12--
D|----------------------------------------------------
A|----------------------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------------------


When I feel that oompah sound my footsies jump up off the ground
I want to sing and dance with you, I know that you can feel it too

Chorus

If your life's a rotten mess, and you (???) the best
Don't be a grumpy boogaboo, (???) polka too

Chorus

Solo (over D...sorry I couldn't figure this out)

You got it now!

La la la (etc...)

End on G
