Updated with the official lyrics from Polyvinyl.
Here are some of the weirder chords in the song and how
Kevin (most likely) plays them:
CMaj7 (X35450)
FMaj7 (X33550)
Edim7 (XX1212)
G#aug (XX6554)
Am (XX7555)
B A C A
F G F C D E
EI do wrong, strictly speakinF#g, Gjust for myself, because it
EMakes me feel like a real man to F#hold heGgemony over my biznezzz, and I
DmI refuse to Cbe abused by the CMaj7milieu of FMaj7wistful decay
DBesides I'm used to Eall of my scruples deFserting F/Eme F/D
F/DbLike they've Cdone today E7
The Blady from the block hunched over on the Astoop
With her Cwithered old titty Aout,
Sayin' I've been Frolled so Gmany Ftimes, it's just
CFeeding the pigeons
BNow her grandson swings a little rabbit by the leg
AWhile his Cmother's playing two wooden Aflutes
I went to Frepo some Gfugitive Fair
To esCcape this street'Ds vagaEry aesthetic
Has Eanybody here seen my old friend Blob'
F#Oh, has Ganybody seen where he's gone'
What he Ethinks I owe him is his former life
But F#how can I Gunmake someone else's mistakes'
DmI guess I was his Canti-hero
CMaj7The bitter word FMaj7on his lips
DI hope I never Efeel a terror like
FWhen F/Eyou've disF/Dcovered F/Dbyour auCtonomy had E7flipped
CI feel like I possess Edim7only the Fbad aspects
Edim7Of invisiGbility,F but none of the Cgood ones E7
CAre we walking mausoleums of Edim7scented Frotting flesh'
Edim7Mother always Gliked you best
FLiked your teeth Cupon her breast
CThey removed the oils from the Edim7eyes of Fstreet cats
Through Edim7some shitty Gwitchcraft
FAnd apply it to their Cbrows and geniE7talia
CI had no idea how Edim7deeply I Fwounded you
But I Edim7don't need no forGgiveness
FAnd no level of conCtrition will ever E7do
C Edim7 F Edim7 G F C E7
C Edim7 F Edim7 G F C
C C C/G G#aug Am G#aug F FMaj7 CMaj7
Notes:
The "C D E" in the intro and fourth verse is played barred
at the 3rd, 5th, and 7th frets, but it sounds great if you
drop down to the open E shape for the "E F# G" that follows.
I know the F/Db sounds weird, but I was able to isolate the
acoustic guitar track, and that's what he's playing. Focus
on the descending root notes on the A and E strings like he does.
