He plugs in his acoustic to give it some grit. If I figure out the levels,
I'll post them, if I remember.
The first stanza is muted.
Verse:
Well he's o[G]ut of season out of sync
but lord what must his family think
[Bm]and you must be getting his feathers wet.
[Cm]But she always seems to be the talk
Until she drops you like a rock
You [G]should've been a b[D]etter friend t[C]o him.
[G]Well I dusted all the bones were in my yard
I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
[Bm]But still you call me from the moon
Every single afternoon
[Cm]Tell me all about the astronauts you come to love
And how the earth looks from above
And how I s[G]hould've been a [D]better friend to[C] you.
But I n[G]ever seen life as a chore, a [C]treasure for to f[G]ind[B5]
Em C D7#9 x 3
I've read the news, abused the booze, and often wondered why
[G]My smile remains though I'm thinking pains t[C]he averag[G]e passerby[B5]
Well they'll [Em]sink like stones into their homes away from teeth like mine.
Whoo!! (Like Shakey Does) Follows the same progression as the verse: G - Bm - Cm - G - D - C
[G]Well I'm sure I came to hate my skin and all the holes you're digging in
[Bm]The way you let my leg waltz through each way
[Cm]by your side
well you sho[G]uld've been a [D]better friend of [G]mine
[G]Well I saw in you a brand new bird the song of which I never heard
[Bm]You know it was a melody so fine that whole world would pine
[Cm]And it's a tune to give the boys the blues and turn the horses into glue
You know I sho[G]uld've been a [D]better friend to[C] you
Yeah I shou[G]ld have been a be[D]tter friend to y[C]ou
But I [G]never seen life as a chore, a[C] treasure for to [G]find[B5]
