er guitar a li
KylesKorner's
ttle different
youtube video.
ly to standard
Check it out
. She tunes it
for more detail.
from
to
Eb-A-D-G-Bb-D
She uses these four chords throughout the song
F6sus: 2x003x
Gm: 4x003x
C7sus2: x3003x
Ebmaj7sus: 01003x
Few more small things to be brought up
In the middle of switching between chords Phoebe plucks the open A string.
In between C7sus2 and Ebmaj7sus there's a walk down
So in theory it should look like this
D |x---x---x--
Bb|3---3---3--
G |0---0---0--
D |0---0---0--
A |x-0-x-0-3-3
Eb|2---4---x--

but those bits are optional, you can get away with not doing it

[Verse 1]
I went with yo
u up to the pl
ace we grew up
and
We spent a wee
k in the cold
Just long enou
gh to Walden i
n it with you
Any longer it
would've got o
ld
Singing Ace of
Spades when L
emmy died
But nothing's
changed, L.A's
alright
I'm sleeping i
n my bed again
And getting in
my head and t
hen
Walk around th
e reservoir
[Chorus]
You
You must've be
en looking for
me
Sending smoooo
ke signals
Pelicans circl
ing
Burning trash
out on the bea
ch
[Verse 2]
One of your ey
es is always h
alf-shut
Something happ
ened when you
were a kid
I didn't know
you then and I
'll never unde
rstand why
It feels like
I did
"How Soon Is N
ow?" in an eig
hties sedan
You slept insi
de of it becau
se your dad
Lived in a cam
pground in the
back of a van
You said "that
song will cre
ep you out unt
il you're dead
"
[Chorus]
And you
Must've been l
ooking for me
Sending smoooo
ke signals
Pelicans circl
ing
Burning trash
out on the bea
ch
[Verse 3]
I want to live
at the Holida
y Inn
Where somebody
else makes th
e bed
We'll watch TV
while the lig
hts on the str
eet
Put all the st
ars to death
It's been on m
y mind since B
owie died
Just checking
out to hide fr
om life
And all of our
problems I'm
gonna solve th
em
With you ridin
g shotgun, spe
eding 'cause f
uck the cops
[Chorus]
And you
You must've be
en looking for
me
Sending smoooo
ke signals

[Verse 4]
I burried a ha
tchet, it's co
ming up lavend
er
The future's u
nwritten; the
past is a corr
idor
I'm at the exi
t, looking bac
k through the
hall
You are anonym
ous, I am a co
ncrete wall
