The other clam crab cockle chords are close. The first is a half step 
too high, and both are missing or contain wrong chords.

I put a chord letter every time she plucks a bass root note. 
Note: she plays the bass note of the B chord below the low E 
on the guitar, so it will sound slightly different on guitar 
unless you tune down.

B BThat means no, where I come from.
B F# I am cold, out waiting for the day to come.
B BI chew my lips, and I scratch my nose
B F# E E feels so good to be a rose.
B BOh don't, don't you life me up
B F# like I'm that shy, no no no no no, just give it up
E F# B There are bats all dissolving in a row
E F# G#m into the wishy-washy dark that can't let go.
B B BI cannot let go, so I thank the lord, and I thank his sword!
B F# G#m'tho it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored.
B E B F# EO, morning without warning like a hole, oh and I watch you go.
B F# EThere are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
B F# EThere are some dragons who were built to have and hold.
B F# G#mAnd some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly.
B E B and some great bellies ache with many bumblebees
F# E Eand they sting so terribly.
B BI do as I please. Now I'm on my knees.
B F# G#mYour skin is something that I stir into my tea.
E EAnd I am watching you
G#m G#mand you are starry, starry, starry
B F# E Eand I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown.
B BIt's why I love this town: Well, just look around.
G#m G#mjust see me serenaded hourly! celebrated sourly!
E E dedicated dourly;
F# B Bwaltzing with the open sea -
F# E F# G#mclam, crap, cockle, cowrie : will you just look at me?
B E B F# E o wo wo o-oh owo-o-oh owo-o-oh ohoho oh-oh
(repeat twice, then for the last time)
B E B F# E F# Bo wo wo o-oh owo-o-oh owo-o-oh ohoho oh-oh
