Chords
Hey guys, this is a great Guster song off of the album "Ganging Up on the Sun." It's really a
piano song with backing guitar, so bear with me on this rendition.
I use the barred chords for this as opposed to the open ones. It sounds more like the song
and you can add the slides and things in between them easier (as I'm too lazy to actually do
all the bells and whistles.)
Without further ado: "Manifest Destiny" by Guster
Chords:
C Dm G D/F# F Am Asus4 Dsus2 Csus2 e|-3--5--3--2---1---5---5----5-----3---| B|-5--6--3--3---1---5---5----5-----3---| G|-5--7--4--2---2---5---7----7-----5---| D|-5--7--5--4---3---7---7----7-----5---| A|-3--5--5--5---3---7---7----5-----3---| E|-3--5--3--2---1---5---5----5-----3---|
Note: In the chorus the chords F Am G D/F#, you can play only the
4th, 5th and 6th strings to make it easier and to sound more
like the album version.
Note 2: The verse 2 "born to the land of ..." sounds better with open
chords (standard ones).

[Verse 1]
C Dm G (like in riff 1) Bones are broken and the will is sunk. C Dm G (like in riff 2) How did everything get so fucked up? C Dm G Do you want to change your mind? C Dm G You can always change your mind.
[Chorus]
F Am You and I can quit this scene G D/F# Build a town and then secede F Am G Like an Adam and an Eve F Am To the dreamers go the dreams G D/F# But believers have the lead F Am G It's a frightening, frightening thing.
[Verse 2]
C Dm G Born to the land of opportunity C Dm G of Manifest destiny C Dm G Do you want to change your mind? C Dm G You can always change your mind.
[Chorus]
F Am You and I can quit this scene. G D/F# Build a town and then secede F Am G Like an Adam and an Eve. F Am To the dreamers go the dreams G D/F# But believers have the lead. F Am G It's a frightening, frightening thing.
