View chords used in this chart
NOTE: On Verse 1 the middle finger of the C chord is pulled off/hammered on, as you can
in the video. Then, leaving your index on on the B string for the Gadd11 chord, he
his pinky down to the 3rd fret {capo'd} to make this a Cadd9 for one or two strokes. The
of the permutations will have to be found by ear. Enjoy!
Verse 1:
C
You be my princess
I'll be your toad
Gadd11
I'll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Am
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
F
I promise.
Verse 2:
C
Noone will touch us
if we pick up a star
Gadd11
If you spin out
you can ride in my car
Am
When we slide together
we generate sparks
F
in our wheels and our hearts
Chorus:
C
The finish line
Gadd11
is just around the bend
Am
I'll pause this game
F
so our love will never end
C
Let's go again
Verse 3: {as is in Verses 1 & 2}
The blue shell is coming
so I'll go ahead
If you hang behind
it'll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you
Bridge:
E
Don't worry about
F
Bowser or DK
E
Eat this glowing mushroom
F
and they'll all fade away
Chorus X 2
Gadd11
to the mushroom cup
Am
and the flower cup
F
and the star cup
C
and the reverse cup
{from here on out the main chord progression is repeated until the end.}
walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii
The ending coda again has the C chord, this time arpeggiated with the middle finger
on the D string as you progress downward in the chord.
