Tabbed by Lord of Dutch

Tune every string down to flat. Sounds best played as bar chords

G Em A G
Em A G
Em A G
Em A G

(G to E goes real quick, listen to the song for timing)

Em
Sleep two to a bed
A              G
Four to a room
Em
Profits from the countryside
A                   G                 
Glad tidings of doom

G

Em
Too broke to play around
A                    
Like the soldiers do
Em
All up and down
A
The glittering avenue


C
Anything's better then the future
A
I can see that from here

G Em
Em A
Em A

Em
Stack the amplifiers high
A               G
Turn up the bass
Em
Spring wild from the wings
A
With glitter on my young face

G Em
G Em

Em
It's miserable outside
A                     G
But in here it's warm
Em
It always feels so stable
A
At the center of the storm

C
Snake on my chest for protection—
A                 G
Why the hell not?

[Outro]
Em A (until fade out)
