lyrics

Variations on an Appa

Intro G-C9-G etc.

Chorus:
G D G
Yip yip Appa yip yip
C D G
It's going to be a long way yip yip
Em D
To the south pole and the air temples
Bm C
And the Earth kingdom and then
(G) C D G
To the Fire Nation and do it all again

Verse 1:
G C D G
5 bison calves circle their mother over temples in the sky
C Bm C D
This is the day you'll meet your companion for life
Em G C G
Little Aang holds out an apple as the tiny giant descends
C D G
We'll always be together my friend

Chorus

Verse 2: (muted)
Em C D Em
Now the Shirshu has sniffed them out and the battle's engaged
C Bm C D
June applies her whip freely and Appa's enraged
Em C Em
Aang battles Zuko while Appa keeps Nyla at bay
C D Em
You won't capture the Avatar today

Minor Chorus:
Em D Em
Yip yip Appa yip yip
C D Em
It's going to be a long way yip yip
C D
To the south pole and the air temples
Bm C
And the Earth kingdom and then
(G) C D Em fingerpicking
To the Fire Nation and do it all again


Verse 3 (fingerpick, arpeggios)
Em C D Em
Aang's cries ring out across the lonely dunes
C Bm C D
As the sand benders sold Appa into servitude
Em C Em
Through flames, fear, and fury he struggles to get free
C D Em
So close to home he captured by the Dai Li

Minor Chorus:
Em D Em
Yip yip Appa yip yip
C D Em
It's going to be a long way yip yip
C D
To the south pole and the air temples
Bm C
And the Earth kingdom and then
(G) C D G
To the Fire Nation and do it all again

Verse 4:
G C D G
Back together, earth air and water make a powerful band
C Bm C D
When Zuko comes to add fire, they're reluctant to take his hand
Em G C G
But a giant lick from Appa will make them all think twice
C D G
A sky bison's tongue is always right!

Chorus
