[Verse 1]
C   Am
Jet skis on the moat
Bm7              Am
They shot it all in CinemaScope
Bm7                Em
As though it's the last time
 C
 you're gonna ride
G

[Verse 2]
C     Am
Showstoppers anonymous
Bm7
Come over here and give
      Am
your buddy a hug
Bm7           Em
So much for deciding not
    C
 to let it slide

[Chorus]
Em                         G
Is there something on your mind
                C7
Or are you just happy to sit there
      D               C         G
 and watch while the paint job dries?
          Em         F            C
When it's over you're supposed to know
G

[Verse 3]
C      Am
Lights out in the Wonderpark
Bm7                           Am
Your sawtoothed lover boy was quick
 off the mark
Bm7                       Em
That's long enough in the sunshine
C
 for one night
G

[Verse 4]
C           Am
Didn't recognise you
through the smoke
Bm7                  Am
Pyjama pants and a Subbuteo cloak
Bm7               Em      C
You know that it's alright if
 you wanna cry

How to play Jet Skis On The Moat: key, chords and progression

These are Jet Skis On The Moat chords by Arctic Monkeys on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Jet Skis On The Moat by Arctic Monkeys sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 12 chords to play it: C, Am, Bm7, Em, G, C7, D, F, A, F#m, Bm and C#m7.

Most of the song cycles through C – Am – Bm7 – Am (IV – ii – iii7 – ii in G major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – mi – reh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm7, F, F#m, Bm and C#m7 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
