[Intro]
Dm C F Dm
Dm C F Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm C F Dm
Went to the grocery store After the stam-pede
Dm C F Dm
People fight for toilet paper, Like the UF-C
Dm C F Dm
Nothing left on that shelf, But a lonely can of beans
Dm C F Dm
So I guess I’ll head back, To the house and take a bath in bleach

[Chorus]
Dm C F Dm
Quaran-tine quaran-tine, Drinking whiskey like vac-cine
Dm C F Dm
Waving at the neighbors, Social distan-cing
Dm C F Dm
Quaran-tine quaran-tine, Wearing Lysol like sun-screen
Dm C F Dm
Quaran-tine quaran-tine, Oh lonesome quaran-tine

Whistle
Dm C F Dm
Dm C F Dm

[Verse 2]
Dm C F Dm
Oh my anti-hunting buds, Are reaching out to me
Dm C F Dm
I know your freezer stay stocked up, Can I get some fresh deer meat
Dm C F Dm
Well I hope your family is well, Hope them hands are clean
Dm C F Dm
Any chance that you might have, An extra A.R. 15

Whistle
Dm C F Dm
Dm C F Dm
Dm C F Dm
Dm C F Dm

[Bridge]
Dm Dm
Shout out to the heroes fighting this disease
Dm Dm
It’s time to come toget-her now
Dm
As one society
Wait a minute……
Talk this
Wait a minute now
Stop stop stop
I meant that in a metaphorical sense
Not a literal sense
That would be the antithesis of what Quarantine means
But it’s good we have FaceTime we can sing songs like this
Let’s have a shout out to all the healthcare workers out there
I really like that Chorus Let’s sing that one more time

How to play Quarantine: key, chords and progression

Quarantine by Mat Best and Tim Montana keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 3 chords: Dm, C and F.

Listen for Dm – C – F – Dm (ii – I – IV – ii in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – doh – fah – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Am, G, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
