Capo: 4
Tuning: D A D F# A D
Gang Of Youths: Magnolia
Tuning = open D: DADF#Ad
Capo = 4
*I play open D a semi-tone down with capo on 5th
This is a verison I put together to capture more of the character of the song as a solo acoustic piece.
I play it with a finger picking style, but this bare-bones open tuning tab/chord guide is really for you
to do your own thing with.
Listen how it sounds put together here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEVGC2ORTLc

Here's the intro not considering capo placement (play twice):
d|--9h12--7h9--4h7--2h4--0h2------------|----7/9--4h7--2h4--0h2------------|
A|---------------------------2h5----0---|-----------------------2h5----0---|
F#|-------------------------------3h5--0-|---------------------------3h5--0-|
D|--------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
D|--0-----------------------------------|--5-------------------------------|
Here's how it looks with the capo on 4th (play twice):
d|--13h16--11h13--8h11--6h8--4h6-------------|-----11/13--8h11--6h8--4h6--------------|
A|-------------------------------6h9----4----|---------------------------6h9-----4----|
F#|-----------------------------------7h9---4-|--------------------------------7h9---4-|
D|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
D|--4----------------------------------------|--9-------------------------------------|
Notice I cut the first hammer-on and make the second a slide in the 2nd part.
This is so that I can let the B bass note ring (5/9~~ low D). You can just play the first part 4 times.

Here's the chords/lyrics - referenced to capo on 4th. Honestly the bridge and outro I just improvise,
shifting back and forth from G#/A#/B ending on C#.
Legend: h = hammer-on, / = slide
[Intro; see above]
F# B F# B
[Verse 1]
F#Quit honking your hBorns
There's five other lG#anes
And I'm King of them Ball
And faster than liFght
With my fists in the aBir
If my body's aG#live
Then my soul's unaBware
In braving the lF#ast of
This Terrible wBine
I've savoured the lG#ast
And I've kissed it goodBbye
And there's no kind of rF#ight way
To do what I'll do B
But I'm king of the earG#th
With impossible blA#ood
On this 3rd of June
[Pre chorus]
G#Hold on officer I knoBw
That I'm a danger to myself
G#And it shows
Cause I'm A#on the other side of the lawB
[Chorus]
F#There's no way toBnight
As far as I kG#now
That heaven will tBake me
So I'm staggering F#home
Show me the Bway
Ah, Show me the ligG#ht
I'm drunk, but I'm rBeady
To kick some ass toF#night
(keep playing F#)
[Verse 2]
Still honking those hBorns?
Yeah, just drive aG#round
'Cause your all being iBgnored
Deadpan and bF#right
As I flip you the bBird
I'm a pain in the G#ass
Yeah I'm a real piece of wBork
Just waving my aF#rms like
Some terrible mBime
And shaking my aG#ss
'Til they kiss it goodBbye
Just show me the right tF#hings
That I didn't dBo
Oh, enlighten me G#now
With impossible lA#ove
From the former you
[Pre Chorus]
G#Just tell everyone I knoBw
What I did I did for uG#s
And in haste
Cause I'm tA#errified of dying inB vain
[Chorus]
F#There's no way toBnight
As far as I kG#now
That heaven will tBake me
So I'm staggering F#home
Wretched and wBild
All glory and tG#rash
Yeah, I'm drunk but I'm rBeady
To kick some fuckin' aF#ss
(keep playing F#)

There's no way toBnight

Show me the Bway
Ah, Show me the lG#ight
I'm drunk, but I'm rBeady
To kick some ass toF#night
There's no way toBnight
As far as I G#know
That heaven will tBake me
So I'm staggering hF#ome
Fire of my lBoins
Ah, light of my lG#ife
We're vastly outnBumbered
Every motherfucking tiG#me
A# G# BEvery
