Chords

There's not a whole lot of harmonic content in this song, basically just the bassline and backing vocals in the chorus. This leaves some room for interpretation. I chose to go with Eb5 because Ebm and Eb7 both work. I suggest you try it out and go with what you like best. It's only in the outro, where an Eb7 is clearly outlined. [Intro] Eb5 Ab (x4) [Verse]
Eb5                                 Ab
I'm coming over, see me down at the station by the lane with my hands in my pocket

Eb5                                      Ab
Jingling a wish coin that I stole from a fountain that was drownin' all the cares in the whole world

Eb5                                  Ab
When I get older, climbing up on the back porch fence just to see the dogs runnin'

Eb5                                         Ab
With a ring and a question and my shivering voice is singing through a crack in the window
[Chorus]
                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5
Na, na-na na-na na
[Verse]
                                         Ab
Down on the corner, see me standing on a makeshift home with a dust storm comin' (na, na-na na-na na)

Eb5                                          Ab
In a long black shadow, pull a hammer from a coal mine down where your daddy was workin'

Eb5                                     Ab
Comb my hair back strike a match on the bathroom wall where my number is written

Eb5                                          Ab
Driving on the sidewalk, lookin' back at the sky, it's burning in my rear-view mirror
[Chorus]
                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5
Na, na-na na-na na

                Eb5
Na, na-na na-na na

                Eb5
Na, na-na na-na na
[Instrumental] Eb5 (x2) [Verse]
Eb5                                  Ab
I'm coming over, see you down at the station by the lane with my hands in my pocket

Eb5                                      Ab
Jingling a wish coin that I stole from a fountain that was drownin' all the cares in the whole world

Eb5                                  Ab
When I get older, climbing up on the back fence running with the dogs that I'm coming with

     Eb5                                      Ab
With a ring and a question dime a dozen and a voice that was singing underneath the window
[Chorus]
                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone    x

                Eb5                Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone    2:50

                Eb5               Ab
Na, na-na na-na na, I gotta go it alone, na, na-na na-na na

Eb5                               Ab
                    I gotta go it alone, na, na-na na-na na

Eb5                  Ab
     Na, na-na na-na na, I better go it alone

                Eb5        Ab
Na, na-na na-na na,

                Eb5        Ab
Na, na-na na-na na,

                Eb5        Ab
Na, na-na na-na na,

                Eb5        Ab
Na, na-na na-na na,          na, na-na na-na na
[Instrumental] Eb7 (x8) (fade out)
