Asus2/G - XO2OOO
Following the organ sounding keys since this song is light on the guitar. Play the Asus2/G quickly, just onebeat. You can ignore it and just play Am throughout if you wish.
[Verse 1]
Am Asus2/G Am Dig around in the garbage Asus2/G Am Save up some halibut bones in a jar Asus2/G Am Scrape a winter's worth of salt deposits
From the rusty frame of my car
F Em Am Ask the experts, maybe they'll know
[Verse 2]
Asus2/G Am Call up my teacher in Cambridge Asus2/G Am See what he remembers Asus2/G Am Throw white phosphorus in the fireplace
Look for clues in the embers
F Em Am Asus2/G Am Call the hotline, give them a phony last name
[Chorus]
Dm Try to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine Dm G Tryin' to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine
[Verse 3]
Asus2/G Am Time's running short Asus2/G Am Always seems to run shorter Asus2/G Am Have some supplies sent
From up just past the northern border
F Em Am Asus2/G Am Keep a line out to the people who take the long view
[Verse 4]
Asus2/G Am Only share my research Asus2/G Am With sick lab rats like me
Trapped behind the beakers
Asus2/G Am And the Erlenmeyer flasks
Cut off from the world, I may not ever get free
F Em Am Asus2/G Am But I may one day
[Chorus]
Dm Tryin' to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine Dm G Try to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine
[Bridge]
Bb Dm Am So many suffering from the same affliction Dm Coming up on the breakthrough G The clock's ticking
[Verse 5]
Am Asus2/G Am Dig down amongst my calculations Asus2/G Am Check my map Asus2/G Am Up there on the surface
Everybody's getting ready for the bloodbath
F Stem the tide, stem the tide Em Am Asus2/G Am They're calling down for reinforcements
[Chorus]
Dm Tryin' to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine Dm G Tryin' to find Am Asus2/G Am An antidote for strychnine
(Asus2/G Am until end)
