Be mindful of voicings since some of the notes are more emphasised than others in the recording which really
makes sense, at least to me.

[Verse 1]
Bm Just as he hit the ground G They lowered a tow that Bm stuck in his neck to the gills G Fragments of sobriquets Bm Riddle me this G Three half eaten corneas
Who hit the aureole
Bm Stalk the ground G Stalk the ground
[Chorus 1]
Em You should have seen Gadd9 The curse that flew right by you Gadd#9 Em Page of concrete Gadd9 Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway Gadd#9 Em Auto-da-fé Gadd9 Gadd#9 A capillary hint of red Em Only this manupod Bm A7sus4 Bm Crescent in shape has escaped

[Verse 2]
Bm The house half the way, fell empty with G Fell empty with teeth Bm That split both his lips mark these words G One day this chalk outline will circle this city Bm Was he robbed of the asphalt
That cushioned his face?
G
A room-colored charlatanHid in a safe
Bm Stalk the ground G Stalk the ground
[Chorus 2]
Em You should have seen Gadd9 The curse that flew right by you Gadd#9 Em Page of concrete Gadd9 Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway Gadd#9 Em Auto-da-fé Gadd9 Gadd#9 A capillary hint of red Em Only this manupod Bm A7sus4 Bm Crescent in shape has escaped

Bm Pull the pins A Save your grace Em7 Mark these words Dmaj7 A/C# On his grave Bm Pull the pins A Save your grace Em7 Mark these words Dmaj7 A/C# On his grave Bm Pull the pins A Save your grace Em7 Mark these words Dmaj7 A/C# On his grave
[Chorus 3]
Em You should have seen Gadd9 The curse that flew right by you Gadd#9 Em Page of concrete Gadd9 Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway Gadd#9 Em Auto-da-fé Gadd9 Gadd#9 A capillary hint of red Em Bm Everyone knows the last toes are A7sus4 Bm Always the coldest to go
