Chords

There are already accurate chords for this song, but this is just an easier fingering.
Am              E
short delay the parrot blues,

F             C         
little voices mimick you,

 E                            F     
it's not so hard to make that sound,

Am                  E
so watch your back, the Ides of March,

F                  C         
cut your hair like Joan of Arc, 

E                                    F
disguise your will, they'll find you out,

              E
and when they do...

     F  G
look out

              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple

           F                        C
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart

             E                F
something so wild turned into paper

     Dm                        G
if I loved you, well that's my fault

  Am                 E    
a bitch in heat, the alpha male,   

F                   C          
not something she'd ever tell,

E                           F  
except when she got deathly high,

    Am               E         
and out it came like summer rain,

F                   C        
washed the cars and everything,

E                            F
felt clean for just a little while

      E               F     G
a telephone, we drunk dialed

             F                     G
the starving children they ain't got no mother

        F                            C
there's pink flamingos living in the mall

           E                  F
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial

        Dm                          G
if just somebody would just take my call

        Dm   G
take my call,

        Dm   G
take my call,

C
hello? 

                               F
patterns in my mind now moving slow

                               C
sorrow all across the surface rolls

                               G
smoothing out the edges of the stone

                                     Dm                               
the lights are out where'd everybody go?

F   E
hello?

Am                 E                           
erase yourself and you'll be free

F                 C
Mandala destroyed by the sea

E                     F
all we are is colored sand

Am                 E
so pay to ride the ferris wheel

F              C              E                       F
smile all that you can feel is gratitude for what has been

           E   F   G
cuz it did not happen

              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple

           F                        C
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart

             E              F
something so wild turned into paper

       Dm                         G
If you loved me, well that's your fault

              F                  G
there's money lenders inside the temple

             F                  G
this crystal city's gonna fall apart

               E               F
when all their power turns into vapor,

     Dm                      G
If I miss you well that's my fault,

               Dm    G
well that's my fault

               Dm    G
well that's my fault
