Frank Ocean - Forrest Gump - Lyrics and Chords

I was practicing this new Frank Ocean song, "Forrest Gump," after I heard it on Channel Orange a few days ago. Very beautiful song, and I include here the lyrics & chords as I was playing it for your convenience. (I'm playing it in 'Drop-D' tuning for the bum-bum-bums.)

D6 A
i wanna see your pom poms from the stands
Dmin6 A

come on come on

D6 A

my fingertips & my lips

Dmin6 A

they burn from the cigarettes forrest gump

D6 A

you run my mind boy

Dmin6 A

running on my mind boy forrest gump

i know you forrest
i know you wouldn’t hurt a beetle
but you’re so buff & so strong
i’m nervous forrest forrest gump

my fingertips & my lips, &c.

i saw your game forrest
i was screaming run 44
but you kept running past the end zone
oh where’d you go forrest forrest gump

my fingertips & my lips, &c.

forrest green, forrest blues
i’m remembering you
this is love, i know its true
i won’t forget you
you you, ah you you its for you forrest
you you, ah you you its for you forrest forrest gump

Is this the sexy gay Forrest Gump that Frank Ocean pines for?

Parting Glass - Lyrics and Chords - & rats drinking whiskey

I had the beautiful classic Ronnie Drew song "Parting Glass" in my head last week, so I plucked out this version:

Since many of the chords I found online were unsatisfying, here are the chords as I'm playing above if anyone wants to use this version:

Emin  G  C  G                        Emin        D 

Of all the money that e'er I spent 

G                        Emin          G    D 

I've spent it in good company 

Emin  G  C  G                       Emin       D 

And all the harm that ever I did 

Emin  C  G       D       Emin 

Alas it was to none but me 

         G  C  G                         G  C  G 

And all I've done for want of wit 

Gsus  G          Emin         G             D 

To memory now I can't recall 

Emin  G   C  G             Emin         D 

So fill to me the parting glass 

Emin               C       G   D           Emin 

Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend 

And leisure time to sit awhile 

There is a fair maid in town 

That sorely has my heart beguiled 

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips 

I own she has my heart enthralled 

So fill to me the parting glass 

Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had 

They're sorry for my going away 

And all the sweethearts that e'er I had 

They'd wish me one more day to stay 

But since it falls unto my lot 

That I should rise and you softly call 

So fill to me the parting glass 

Good night and joy be with you all

Furthermore, here's a video of my rats cuddling in my lap & drinking my manhattan:
