Capo: 4
Capo 4 sounds right to me with these chords. There are other versions that dont use capos
but I like this better and when i saw them live they used capo for this song.
Standard Tuning
CAPO 4
Intro x4
C G Am F
Verse 1
And the Cmoment will come when composure returns
Put a Gface on the world, turn your back to the wall
And you Amwalk twenty yards with your head in the air
Down the FLiberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
Look with Ccurious eyes on your raggedy way
And for Gonce in your life you've got nothing to say
And could Amthis be the time when somebody will come
To say, "FLook at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"
Interlude
C G Am F
Verse 2
Take a Cwalk in the park, take a valium pill
Read the Gletter you got from the memory girl
But it Amtakes more than this to make sense of the day
Yeah, it Ftakes more than milk to get rid of the taste
And you Ctrusted to this, and you trusted to that
And when you Gsaw it all come, it was waving the flag
Of the AmUnited States of Calamity, hey!
After Fall that you've done, boy, I know you're going to pay
Interlude
C G Am F x2
Verse 3
In the Cmorning you come to the ladies salon
To get Gall fitted out for The Paperback Throne
But the Ampeople are living far away from the place
Where you Fwanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
And the Cpuzzle will last until somebody will say
"There's a Glot to be done while your head is still young"
If you Amput down your pen, leave your worries behind
Then the Fmoment will come, and the memory will shine
Intrumental x4
C G Am F
Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
Then you go to the place where you've finally found
You can look at yourself, sleep the clock Caround
