G G* Em Em* C* C/G C
[Intro]
Basic finger picking of the above chord shapes, listen to song to get the idea
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
This picking pattern more or less continues throughout the song, I've just listed the major chord changes
[Verse 1]
I need to fGind somebody who can tear me away
From the Emcar crying babies and switchblade days
The bGark of the unemployment hounds
And the Emthought of the thick, white skull on the ground
I won't C*die in the bony arms of the state
To be Emlaid to rest in the wake of the faded town
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[In the acoustic live versions, Scott throws in a couple of fills when picking the G chord]
[Verse 2]
And if the Graincoats come to steal my home
There's a Embig white house at the end of the road
I can Gsee you wrapped in Egyptian thread
In a Emmarble garden, immune to the mess
If you C*leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
We could Emfinally make your father proud
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[Pre-Chorus]
If I lC*eave this world in a loaded daze
I can Emfinally have and eat my C*cake
[Chorus]
I want to Gdie like a rich boy diving
In a Bmhydro-codone dream
You can C*die like a rich girl by me
Oh how the Dmagazines wilCl grieve
I'll Gdie like a rich boy bathing
In a Bmmilk bath I could drown
Want to C*die like a rich boy
Even if we're as Dpoor as we arCe now
I want to Gdie like a rich boy drowning
In a Bmlake that bears my name
You can C*die like a rich girl by me
Flushed and Dradiant witCh fame
I wanna Glie in a state on the TV
In a Bmgolden cardboard crown
Want to C*die like a rich boy
Even if we're as Dpoor as we arCe now
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[Verse 3/Outro]
Well I Gfound you now so tear me away
From the Emferal street they lumped us in
GI'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king
We can Emlose our minds at the top of the hill
We burn C*cash and carry a decadent flame
Way Eminto the night and beyond the Ggrave
[G - G* - Em - Em* - G]
