Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Having Seen FJM a few times live and knowing his catalogue pretty well i've come to know the ways he plays
his chords and how he sets up his guitar. Im pretty confident (95%) this is how he whacks this one out.
I'd put this one on the intermediate scale because the melody over the song is quite complex and you
need your wits about you.
Tune your guitar down to Eb (each string down a semi-tone - or you know, play it higher, whatever)
I've marked a few of these strings (or x) cause they're tricky. be kind to yourself. they sound good too!
F#m Full Dim Bbm#5 E/G#
Eb x x x
Bb x 2 5(or x)
Gb 2 3 4
Db 1 4(or x) 2
Ab 0 1 x
Eb 2 x 4
Don't play it too fast. This isn't a race.
A E/G# B Bbm#5
Dance like a butterfly and drink like a fish
A E/G# B Bbm#5
If you're bent on taking demons down with only your fists
C#m B Bbm#5 A Am A
And I've never known anyone who could lose himself in a bigger paper bag
A E/G# B Bbm#5
The weaker the signal, the sweeter the noise
A E/G# B Bbm#5
Hunching over an instrument that you now employ
C#m B Bbm#5 A Am A
Like the Starvation Army needs a marching piano in the band
Bbm#5 A Bbm#5
Are you feeling used?

E G#7 F#7 A
Oh, I was pissing on the flame
E G#7 F#7 A
Like a child with cash or a king on cocaine
E G#7
I've got the world by the balls

Am I supposed to behave?

What a fraud

What a con

You're the only

One I love
A E/G# B Bbm#5
It's easy to assume that you've built some rapport
A E/G# B Bbm#5
With a someone who only likes you for what you like yourself for
C#m B Bbm#5 A Am A
Okay, you be my mirror but remember the only a few angles I tend to prefer
Bbm#5 A Bbm#5
I'm only here to serve

I was living on nothing but water and cake
