Kookenhaken Tabulatur von Jonathan Richman (für Baryton)

Eb                                 Ab               Bb
When I was a five-year-old, I saw a five-year girl a-walkin'
   Bb
And in my heart a little bell was tolled, and a little voice said
Eb
Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken.


Eb                                           Ab            Bb
Now, you don't know what that word means, nor I the man now talkin'

But when my heart had found a queen, a little voice did say
Eb
Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken.


                                   Ab                Bb
So long forgotten was that word, so long that lock unlockin'
   Ab                     Bb                        Eb
But once again that little word was heard, 'cause of my little Kookenhaken.

Kookenhaken, Well, do you like that sound, do you?

Kookenhaken, I don't know what it means either.
                                        Bb               Eb
Kookenhaken, My heart has found a queen, my little Kookenhaken, well...

Kookenhaken, the word from years ago.

Kookenhaken, I've heard it now again.

Kookenhaken, my heart has found a friend in
Bb             Eb
My little Kookenhaken, well


Ab
My little Kookenhaken,
Eb
You know, you got my heart talkin',
F                                        Bb
Kookenhaken, Kookenhaken in my heart, and I love you, little Kookenhak.


   Gb                                 B                 Db
And I've been walking long a year, and dear I'm tired of talkin',
  Gb                  B                Db                  Gb
So come on, honey, and listen here, and be my little Kookenhaken.
                                            B               Db
And I've been walkin' hill and dale, through vale and valley walkin',
  Gb                  B                  Db                  Gb
So come on, honey, and read your mail and be my little Kookenhaken.

Kookenhaken, do you like that sound?

Kookenhaken, I don't know what it means.

Kookenhaken, my heart was found a queen,
Db              Gb
My little Kookenhaken.

Kookenhaken, a word from years ago.

Kookenhaken, I've heard it now again.

Kookenhaken, my heart has found a friend
Db              Gb
My little Kookenhaken, well


B
My little Kookenhaken,
Gb
You know, well you got my heart talkin',
Ab                                       Db
Kookenhaken, kookenhaken in my heart, and I love you, little Kookenhaken.
