Bright Eyes – Hungry For A Holiday (Guitar)

     C              D
The indecencies of city streets

    E                  A                   G     G
The cleaners' sweeping trucks from nine to noon

        C              D
And the factories make clouds

            E              A                G     G
To keep the sun from being jealous like the moon

          C                 D
While the husband holds his house

             E                  E                G      G
He hates his children for being green when he is gray

        C                  D           E
And his wife, she likes to talk on telephones

            A              G    G
But just to people far away

          E                F
Well, the big surprise was televised

     G                   G
On a crowded couch their eyes grew wide and wet

    E             D           C       C
Oh, was it really such a sad event?

          E                 F                    G
You could capture this with camera clips, but it don't exist

     G            E
Just light on negatives

        D             C
Another number on the birthday cake

           A
You should act your age

        C            D
We were hungry for a holiday

      E                  A           G       G
Won't cooperate with the calendar we found

        C                   D
We just scattered snow-like styrofoam

    E                  A                  G      G
And sang our christmas carols all through town

        C                  D
And the voices soared, the people joined

      E                A                  G      G
With silver coins they filled our cupping hands

       C               D           E
And we all agreed, the charity was much in need

      A               G     G
Yes, a noble cause at that

      C            D
And I met a man, a mannequin

    E                A           G        G
Who stood so still I knew he was afraid

          C                 D
And he preferred a place of permanance

       E              A                  G        G
To the awful guessing game of choice and change

          E                F
Well, the big surprise was telelvised

     G                 G                  E
On a crowded couch our eyes grew wide and wet

             D             C
Oh yes, it's really such a sad event

          E                 F
You can't capture this with camera clips

       G
No, it don't exist

     G        E
Just light on negatives

        D           C
Another candle on a birthday cake

      A
And a wish you make

             E                  F
Well, if the costume fits, keep wearing it

       G               G                 E
But no Halloween could quite account for this

               D            C          C
I guess you're getting into character

        E               F
Or just be yourself, if that would help

   G               G            E
Or sink completely into someone else

              D                 C
You dreamt of mountains but sometimes a hole

        A
Is more comfortable

C D E A G G 
repeat till fade out
