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!
Capo 4th fret
Intro is just E chord, occasionally dropping the pinky on fret 3 of the B string.
A B E
Your great-grandfather was a great lawyer
A B E
And his kid made a mint off the war
A B E
Your father shot stills and then directed films
A B E
That your mom did publicity for
B A
I saw your older sis on the year's best book list
E B
And your brother, he manages bands
A
And you're keen to down play, but you're quick to betray
E B
With one welt and that wave of your hand
E
You come from wealth
Yeah, you got wealth
A B E
What a bitch, they didn't give you much else
B
A B E
I heard cuts by The Kinks on your speakers
A B E
I saw Poe and Artaud on your shelves
A B E
While The Last Laugh's first scene on your flat panel screen
A B E
Lit Chanel that you've wrapped around yourself
B A
You've got outsider art by an artist you arguably
E B
kidnapped to pin on the wall
A
Your designers have slyly directed the eye
E B
down pink lines here and your well lit pawn
E
You've got taste, you've got taste
A B E
What a waste that that's all that you have
B
A B E
Oh, you wrote your thesis on the gospel of Thomas
A B E
You shot some reversal film in Angkor Wat
A B E
And this book you once read said there's less people dead at this point
A B E
now than those who are not
B A
And this film we once saw was reviled for it's flaws
E B
But it's flaws were what made us have fun
B A
And the life some folks had might have made us feel bad
E B
Why feel bad? Man, it's nothing you've done
E
It's all in your hand
It's all in your hand
A B E
Like a gun, like a glove, like a grand
B
Solo over verse progression
B A
And this thing you once said disappeared from my head
E B
In the time that it took to be amazed
B A
And this thing you once did might have dazzled the kids
E B
But the kids once grown up are gonna walk away
A B E
And your world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And your world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
