Artist/Band: Creek Nickel Tabs
Song: Melvin Is Locking Doors Tab
LOCKING DOORS
NICKEL CREEK
I tabbed this off of some TV show that Nickel Creek was on, and there were all
these bits of interviews that were strewn about throughtout the song, so I did
all I could but just couldn�t catch the chorus.
QUOTE:
�Anybody seen the movie �As Good As It Gets�? Just to explain, this song that
I wrote is sung in the first person, and unfortunately, the main character in
�As Good As It Gets� had some serious issues. He was obsessive compulsive for
one, but in addition to that he was a homophobe and then also didn�t like women
which doesn�t really leave you with anything. So I just wanted to preface this
song so that you would know that the views expressed in this song are not those
of mine or Nickel Creek�s.� ~Chris Thile
INTRO (Am) (E) 2x
(Am) Locking doors, spotless pores
(E) Finding comfort in a total bore
The (Bb7) number four, genealogic lore
(E) Doesn�t feel good unless I�ve felt it before (Am) (E)
The neighbor�s gay, shouldn�t be that way
I�m gonna treat him like a person but not today
When I�m old and gray and he�s dying of AIDS
Guess I�d best better remind him to pray
CHORUS
(Dm) Melvin is (?) locking doors (?) (?)
(?) Makes every (?) thing a (?) chore (?)
Don�t (E) really care no more
Melvin is locking doors (Am) (E)
Locking doors, salting sores
When one wimp winces you�ll win the wars
Show me some gore, man I�m so hardcore
But it doesn�t feel good unless I�ve felt it be-
Doesn�t feel good unless I�ve felt it before
(E) Melvin is (F) lock (E) ing (Am) doors
