Chords

Taken from their forth-coming album In The Belly of The Brazen Bull, I've just had a quick stab at the chords for this- it sounds about ok to me! I've put the chords as open, but I'm pretty sure they're played as power chords or barre chords. The G bits in the verse are just two very quick hits of the G chord. Pretty simple really- I prefer to play them as power chords, G5, C5, A5 etc, but you may prefer barred or open. Intro Feedback, followed by G X 2 Chorus

Eat cookies and cream

      G                           C
from the store at the end of the street,

             Am
There's so much junk in my head,

E              G
will I only  hear when you're dead?

C               Am              E               G
But I'll still think of you to take it out on myself.

Pre-Chorus It kind of stays on G, sliding up one fret, a few times, then alternates and gets quicker G/G# G G# G G# Chorus

A few notes are played to finish (on the D string, 10th fret) C, B, Bb, and then feedback to end with. Hope this helps- I can play the solo, but not 100%. I'm sure some of the better players on here may want to do that part better than I can, so I'll leave that to you!
