Corky and the Juice Pigs - Eskimo
I can't believe that, with all the versions here at UG, nobody has posted an
accurate chord chart for this tune. In particular, check the bridge progression
and lyrics below ("we both like flowers"!?! are you kidding me!?!).
The Tenacious D cover or the live version might vary, but this is exactly what
appears on the group's 1993 CD.
Intro
D (with little melodic noodling)
Chorus
I'm the o[D]nly gay Eskimo, [A] I'm the on[Bm]ly one I know[G],
I'm the o[D]nly gay Eskimo[A] in my [Bm]tribe[G]
Verse 1
I [D]go out seal hunting with my [A]best friend Tarka (Tarqa?)
But all [Bm]I wanna do is to get in[G]to his parka (add 2nd line of Chorus)
Verse 2
Well [D]me and Ukflukchukbuk (Uqfluqchuqbuq?) we [A]both like blubber
But [Bm]me I've got this crazy f[G]etish for rubber (add 2nd line of Chorus)
Verse 3
[D]I make a wish on th[A]e northern lights
That [Bm]I could find a decent pair of [G]whaleskin tights
I'm the o[D]nly gay Eskimo[A] in my [Bm]tribe (And the[G] seals they sing now)
Bridge
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
These [Bm]cold winter nights are t[G]aking their toll
I [Em]even get exited when I see t[A]he North Pole Se[A7]e the North Pole ...
Coda
I'm th[D]e only gay Esk[A]imo (only gay Eskimo)
I'm the[Bm] only one I k[G]now (I'm the only one I know)
I'm[D] the only ga[A]y Eskimo ... in my[Bm] tribe
