Chords

Adapted from the album version and Howard Stern performance STP uses lots of complex chords, voicings, and fingerings. This is a simplified version but substitutions can be made. G 355433 Bm x24432 Bm7 x24232 B7 x21202 E 022100 Esus4 022200 Dsus2 xx0230 Eb x65046 F/Bb 6xx565 (= Bbmaj7sus2) A barred D minor chord can be used in place of the F/Bb. Bm can be replaced with Bm7. Hammer on to change the E to Esus4 at the end of verse phrases. Dsus2 can be used for D throughout. [Intro] G Bm E D C B7 [Verse 1]
Em       D               C
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by

G        Bm            E
Neither goose nor the gander fly

G      Bm                   E
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'

D       C                  B7
Take a peek as the model earns it, earns it

Em      D                C
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'

G            Bm          E
Kill the politician and wash it with everpure
[Chorus]
Eb                  F/Bb
So the answer gets harder, harder

Eb                       F/Bb
And the truth's getting farther and farther

Eb                   F/Bb
And the bottle keep churnin', and churnin'

Eb                  F/Bb           Bm
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by...
[Verse 2]
G        Bm                 E
Wastin' time chasing those cows that fly

D             C            B7
Churnin' out all of that butterfly sugarboost

Em          D                C
Track the blade as it pulls downward, onward

G        Bm                   E
Take the pill it'll kill the martyrs, martyrs

G        Bm             E
Passin' time rippin as time kicks by.

D          C              B7
Pass the umbilical cord down for a fly-by

Em       D                        C
Take a sneak where the model she earns it, earns it

G       Bm               E
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
[Chorus]
Eb                  F/Bb
So the answer gets harder, harder

Eb                       F/Bb
And the truth's getting farther and farther

Eb                   F/Bb
And the bottle keep churnin', and churnin'

Eb                  F/Bb          Bm
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by...
[Bridge/Solo] G Bm E A F# Bm C C C C G Bm E A F# Bm C C C C D D [Chorus]
Eb              F/Bb
So the answer gets harder, harder

Eb                   F/Bb
And the truth's getting farther and farther

Eb               F/Bb
And the bottle keep churnin', and churnin'

Eb              F/Bb                Bm
Seven caged tigers fly by, fly by...
