Capo 4th fret
Intro is just E chord, occasionally dropping the pinky on fret 3 of the B string.
Your great-Fgrandfather Gwas a great lCawyer
And his Fkid made a Gmint off the Cwar
Your Ffather shot Gstills and then Cdirected films
That your Fmom did pubGlicity Cfor
I saw Gyour older sis on the Fyear's best book list
And your Cbrother, he manages Gbands
And you're keen to down play, but you're Fquick to betray
With one Cwelt and that wave of Gyour hand
You come from Cwealth
Yeah, you got wealth
What a Fbitch, they didn't Ggive you much Celse
G
I heard Fcuts by The GKinks on your Cspeakers
I saw FPoe and ArGtaud on your Cshelves
While The FLast Laugh's first Gscene on your Cflat panel screen
Lit ChaFnel that you've Gwrapped around Cyourself
You've got Goutsider art by an Fartist you arguably
Ckidnapped to pin on the Gwall
Your designers have slyly Fdirected the eye
down Cpink lines here and your well lit Gpawn
You've got Ctaste, you've got taste
What a Fwaste that Gthat's all that you Chave
G
Oh, you wrote your Fthesis on the Ggospel of CThomas
You shot some Freversal Gfilm in Angkor CWat
And this Fbook you once Gread said there's Cless people dead at this point
Fnow than Gthose who are Cnot
And this Gfilm we once saw was Freviled for it's flaws
But it's Cflaws were what made us have Gfun
And the Glife some folks had might Fhave made us feel bad
Why feel Cbad? Man, it's nothing Gyou've done
It's all in your Chand
It's all in your hand
Like a Fgun, like a Gglove, like a Cgrand
G
Solo over verse progression
And this Gthing you once said disaFppeared from my head
In the Ctime that it took to be aGmazed
And this Gthing you once did might have Fdazzled the kids
But the kids Conce grown up are gonna walk Gaway
And your Fworld is Ggonna change Cnothing
And your Fworld is Ggonna change Cnothing
And our Fworld is Ggonna change Cnothing
And our Fworld is Ggonna change Cnothing
And our Fworld is Ggonna change Cnothing
