Chords

My favourite song by my favourite band - I *think* this is almost correct. All chords should really be played as barre chords, but let's face it, those are uncomfortable and are really only necessary when a Cm or Gsus4 chord is coming up. __________ G - 320033/355433 Bm - x24432 C - x32010/x35553 Em - 022000 Cm - x35543 Gaug - 321003
          G                 Bm  
There's a dead man hanging,

C               
slumped over the steering wheel

      G                  Bm            C       
of an interstate runaway bursting into flames.

        G                      Bm
And the devil was gently breathing, 

          C               
sleeping face-down in my apartment, 

         G                           Bm             C       
and like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games.

                       G                  Bm
And there's a homeless man arranging his hands,

                Em                    C
grooving to the beat radiating from a police scanner.

             G               Bm
He said "The air was feeling good to me, 

   Em               C
as cool and ripe as air can be." 

      G                   Bm
And a woman who sincerely believes 

     Em                                     C
in UFOs (UFOs) - you can blame her when the   stars are hanging

    G                   Bm
overhead, dangling by a thread, 

         Em                        Cm
floating ten thousand feet off the ground.

             G                 Gaug
This was the story told to me 

     Em                    Gaug
when I was just the age of seventeen; 

          G              Gaug
one which God himself dictated to me, 

          C (staccato)
He said, "This is how all this shit's gonna be,

       G                            Gaug                        Em    Gaug
when I blow your little planet into smithereens (smithereens) 

G                            Gaug             Em    Gaug 
Blow your little planet into smithereens"

   G                  Gaug
It haunted my dreams 

        Em          C
like an accident on replay 

     G          Gaug    Em    Gaug    
on a TV screen.

Cm       G            
She sees faces in her dreams; 

Em                     
strange machines she'd never seen.

G                  
Blueprints of submarines 

      Em                   
to reassemble in a time of dire need (dire need).

               G                       
And there were preachers in the desert, 

Em                   
waving to the crowd,

          G                    
dictating seven angry letters 

       Em            
from a man up in the clouds

               G
And there were twenty-seven soldiers

        Bm
telling twenty-seven lies,

       Em                            
and a hole inside a hurricane

       Cm
with a pair of beady eyes.

          G          Gaug
A pair of beady eyes looking down 

Em                          Cm
onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round.

                G                       Gaug
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down,

            Em                                 C (staccato)      Cm-Cm
because the Sun is just a supernova turned the other way around! 
G Bm C G Bm C
           G                           Bm  
There were strangers in the subway and men in limousines 

       C
making deals and swapping photographs of cans of gasoline.

             G                         Bm
There are no angels in the woodwork or devils on the ground;

        C
They're looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of sound.

        G                                 Bm
And the man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around 

      C
she's looking in behind him from inside a wall of sound 

           G                                Bm
and she is dancing with the neon 'cause the air is feeling good

            C                                Cm
against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the distance

       G                        Bm
in the spaces in between me and you and all your friends;

               C                         Cm
and there's no time to load a weapon; no time to make amends.

           G                            Bm
And people frozen in their tracks stand staring at the sky,

     C                       Cm
at a hole inside a hurricane revealing... 

Cm
A pair of beady eyes! 

          G          Gaug
A pair of beady eyes looking down 

Em                          C
onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round.

             G                          Gaug
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down,

            Em                                 Cm
because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around!
G (crazy piano solo)
G                                               Cm-Cm
This is not a test, this is the real thing... 

G                               Cm
This is not a test, this is the real thing.
