Liner Notes

Waaaaaay out of my comfort zone here, but I've been trying to get something like this down for ages, and the idea for how to do it hit me while I was wandering about at lunch time today. An instance of an old trope, perhaps, but also some #neurospicy #ukulele #filk. You're clever people, so I won't say who the message is for.

This took a few goes to actually get through the whole thing. It's probably the best it'll get.

Fear not, silliness has resumed as soon as possible.

Lyrics

I [D]don't think you'll remember
But I [G]met you long a[Bm]go
This [G]message is ad[D]dressed to someone
[A]That I used to [D]know

I [D]know your closest friend
Is that [G]8 bit CP[Bm]U
The [G]numbers that you [D]care about
Are [E]650 and [A]2

The [D]kids all think you're weird
Don't [G]fit in with the [Bm]rest
I [G]suppose, in a [D]way,
They're [E]probably cor[A]rect

And [G]everything right [A]now must seem
Un[D]reasonably [Bm]hard
But you [G]haven't found the [D]words yet
To de[A]cipher who you [D]are

I [G]don't think you'll re[F#m]member
But I [G]met you long a[A]go
This [G]message is ad[D]dressed to someone
[A]That I used to [D]know

You [D]might feel like an alien
A[G]bandoned here at [Bm]birth
Your [G]mission to ob[D]serve the folks
Who [E]roam the planet [A]earth

You're [G]going to feel you [A]don't belong
[D]From time to [Bm]time
You'll [G]teach yourself to [D]fake it
And [A]how to toe the [D]line

I [G]don't think you'll re[F#m]member
But I [G]met you long a[A]go
This [G]message is ad[D]dressed to someone
[A]That I used to [D]know

Your [D]silly sense of humour
You'll [G]wear it as a [Bm]mask
And it [G]fits but you can [D]take it off
[E]When you get the [A]chance

And [G]you won't hide for[A]ever
[D]Nose inside a [Bm]book
The [G]world is full of [D]more like you
If [A]you know where to [D]look

I [G]don't think you'll re[F#m]member
But I [G]met you long a[A]go
This [G]message is ad[D]dressed to someone
[A]That I used to [D]know

[G]I don't know the [F#m]postcode
For [G]198[A]5
But I [G]promise you that [D]one day soon
You're [A]going to find your [D]tribe
