Capo: 3 Tuning:
"Lampshades on Fire" Performed by Modest Mouse From the album "Strangers to Ourselves" Chords figured by D. G. Glastonbury One of the more popular submissions for this song involves tuning down a standard guitar two half steps so instead of E-A-D-G-B-e, you get D-G-C-F-d. I'm not too keen on doing that because I don't want to risk snapping strings in between tuning to and from two half steps down, so I took some time to figure out an alternative that involves just using a capo. Enjoy! --- Capo on 3rd fret. Chords will be written above the lyrics using the chord shapes. Chords (chord shapes in parentheses):
