This was the only song I had any trouble figuring out on my own because of the unusual
chords and progression, so I decided to go ahead and make an account and put this up.
A few notes:
>I'm not sure if the G is always played as a dominant seventh chord, but the two are
pretty interchangable anyway.
>The Em is always played as an Am shaped bar chord on the 7th fret and the Am that
comes after it is played on the 5th fret, while the C before the Em is easiest to play on
the 8th fret or the 3rd fret as a bar chord. If the Am follows the E major then you
just play a regular open E and Am.
>On the diminished chord, if you keep your fingers in the same shape but move your
fingers up 3 frets every beat you get that cool ascending arpeggiated chord sound they do
on that measure.
>The walk up part right before the second verse is a G7 arpeggio. If you can't play
it just keep playing the G7 until the verse.
Intro:
[C] [Cdim]
[C] [Em] [Am]
[E] [Dm]
[G7]
Verse:
[C]Come get your hands on it [Cdim]brother (my brother)
the [C]chance won't c[Em]ome aga[Am]in, (no no no)
[E]Follow your neighbors lead get e[Dm]verything a man could need
[G7]with a card in the palm of your hand
[C]Come get your hands on your [Cdim]mother
[C]everyt[Em]hing must [Am]go, (no no no)
[E]Fur coats, and diamond rings, and [Dm]giant plasma tv screens.
[G7]You owe it to yourself don't you know?
[E](repeat E and Am once p[Am]er line for the next 3 lines)
so put your faith in the plastic my friend,
your dreams are a swipe away.
Don't you worry where the bounty comes from
[G7]if you do it might haunt you one day
Chorus:
[F]When the sun comes up and it's b[Fm]urning in the s[C]ky[C7]
[F]Rest assured that it's d[Fm]ark on the other [G7]side
Verse:
[C]The stores are boarding up their [Cdim]windows
as the [C]shopping [Em]malls cave [Am]in
[E]everything in chaos now, [Dm]someone screaming tell me how can
[G7]we spend our money my friend
[C]I tell em go build a [Cdim]castle,
[C]lock it [Em]up real [Am]tight
[E]with nothing left to consume [Dm]can't you see we're clearly doomed
[G7]and the world just might hear tonight
Half Time:
E Am (repeat)
recession, depression call it what you will,
we're the victims of our own greed.
With cheaters for leaders our own empty dreams
will come [G7]back as nightmares ..
Even halfier time:
[Dm] [E] [Am]
[G]But ther[F]e's a clearing in the fog that might just be hope up ahead
D[Dm]7/F#(or just D/F[E]#)[Am][G]
If we hurry, there's a chance, we could make it through to the end
So [Dm]tell me my friends was it [G7]worth what you spent?
Instrumental Break:
C Am (x3)
[G7]
Chorus:
When the [F]sun comes up and it's [Fm]burning in the [C]sky[C7]
[F]Rest assured that it's [Fm]dark on the other [G7]side, side side.
The end is those crazy G7 arpeggios ascending followed by a C arpeggio descending.
Good luck!
