[Intro]
Basic finger picking of the above chord shapes, listen to song to get the idea
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
This picking pattern more or less continues throughout the song, I've just listed the major chord changes
[Verse 1]
G I need to find somebody who can tear me away Em From the car crying babies and switchblade days G The bark of the unemployment hounds Em And the thought of the thick, white skull on the ground
C*
I won't die in the bony arms of the state
Em
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[In the acoustic live versions, Scott throws in a couple of fills when picking the G chord][Verse 2]
G And if the raincoats come to steal my home Em There's a big white house at the end of the road G I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread Em In a marble garden, immune to the mess
C*
If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
Em
We could finally make your father proud
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2 [Pre-Chorus]
C*
If I leave this world in a loaded daze
Em C*
I can finally have and eat my cake
[Chorus]
G I want to die like a rich boy diving Bm In a hydro-codone dream
C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
D C Oh how the magazines will grieve G I'll die like a rich boy bathing Bm In a milk bath I could drown
C*
Want to die like a rich boy
D C Even if we're as poor as we are now G I want to die like a rich boy drowning Bm In a lake that bears my name
C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
D C Flushed and radiant with fame G I wanna lie in a state on the TV Bm In a golden cardboard crown
C*
Want to die like a rich boy
D C Even if we're as poor as we are now [G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[Verse 3/Outro]
G Well I found you now so tear me away Em From the feral street they lumped us in G I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king Em We can lose our minds at the top of the hill
C*
We burn cash and carry a decadent flame
Em G Way into the night and beyond the grave [G - G* - Em - Em* - G]
