Brighten the Corners (1997) Verses technically are [N.C] as there's no guitar and the bass repeats the intro, but if you want to play it acoustically or whatever just do A the whole time.

[Verse 1]

A
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk

A
The infrastructure rots

A
And the owners hate the jocks

A
With their agents and their dates

A
If the signatures are checked (You'll just have to wait)

A
And we're counting up the instants that we save

A
Tired nation so depraved

A
From the cheap seats see us

A
Wave to the camera

A
It took a giant ramrod

A
To raze the demon settlement

[Pre-chorus]

    A       G       D
But high-ho silver, ride

A       G       D
High-ho silver, ride

D                           A
Take another ride to see me home

[Chorus 1]

A
Listen to me!

           G             D
I'm on the stereo, stere oh-oh

 A
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe

        G                D
Gave me malaria, hysteri a-ah

[Verse 2]

A
What about the voice of Geddy Lee

A
How did it get so high?

A
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy? (I know him and he does!)

A
And you're my fact-checkin' cuz(Aww...)

[Interlude] A (repeat while drum machine beat plays) [Verse 3]

A
Well focus on the quasar in the mist

A
The Kaiser has a cyst

A
And I'm a blank want list

A
The qualms you have and if they stick

A
They will drown you in a crick

A
In the neck of a woods

A
That was populated by

A
Tired nation on the fly

A
Everybody knows advice

A
That was given out for free

A
Lots of details to discern

A
Lots of details

[Pre-chorus]

    A       G       D
But high-ho silver, ride

A       G       D
High-ho silver, ride

D                           A
Take another ride to see me home

[Chorus 1]

A
Get off the air!

           G             D
I'm on the stereo, stere oh-oh

 A
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe

        G                D
Gave me malaria, hysteri a-ah
