Chords

I decided to put together this tab to give two options for playing this song. The other tab version is mostly correct and I found helpful for the fills during all the E* chords. E 090090 - see below, thanks to jaydog82283's tab F#m11 220100 Am9 550400 Bmadd11 770600 Aadd9 557555
Below is the pattern played during the E* chords, strummed open -- thanks to jaydog82283's tab.

If you can't be bothered to change your guitar to open tuning, I find these chords a good alternative in standard tuning: E 022100 (or 0 14 14 13 0 0) F#m11 244200 Am 577500 Bmadd11 799700 Aadd9 577600 (Note, the pattern played on the B strings above won't work in standard tuning! But as a replacement, you could play some extensions to make it sound more accurate, such as Eadd4 022200 and E6 022120.) [Intro] E* [Verse 1]
         E*
Come the weekend
And we'll long gone baby Just like the old days Letting the world flow through me
F#m11
Just a parasite in a line
I'm smoking, killing the time How long's a piece of twine
                 Am9
What use is sympathy

                         E
From here you can almost see the sea
[Verse 2]
             E*
If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision Then we could sit back And watch the demolition
F#m11
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks Must want the darn from the socks
                    Am9
Here comes the cavalry

                         E
From here you can almost see the sea
[Refrain]
Bmadd11                          Aadd9    E
        Just another fool in the line,   ahhhhhh
[Verse 3]
           E*
I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak I'm gonna dive in To water so cold it makes your bones ache
F#m11
Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped A piece of cardboard taped
                                         Am9
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
                         E
From here you can almost see the sea
[Refrain]
Bmadd11                          Aadd9     E
        Just another fool in the line,    ahhhhhh

Bmadd11                          Aadd9     E
        Just another fool in the line,    ahhhhhh
[Final Verse]
        E*
I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up A killer whale swam Under the blue ice Until her heart stopped
