Black Keys - Sinister Kid

the basic chords for this song are Am Em Dm , i’m sure you can figure that out based on
the song how the rhythm goes . i think it sounds better if you capo on the 5th fret
transposing into the fingerings of Em Bm Am . you can try what you like .

capo 5 ( optional )

intro ( Em Bm Am in rhythm with the bass )

Em ( palm mute ) Bm ( bend down entire chord )
well , the crooks are out
and the streets are gray
you know i wouldn’t have it
any other way , yeah

Em ( palm mute ) Bm ( bend down entire chord )
your mother’s words
they’re , they’re ringing still
but your mother
don’t pay our bills , yeah

Em Bm Am Em
a sinister kid , is a kid who
Em Bm Am Em
runs to meet his maker
Em Bm Am Em
a drop dead sprint from the day he’s born
Em Bm Am Em
straight into his makers arms

Em Bm Am Em
and that’s me , that’s me
Em Bm Am Em
the boy with the broken halo
Em Bm Am Em
that’s me , that’s me
Em Bm Am Em
the devil won’t let me be

Em ( palm mute ) Bm ( bend down entire chord )
i got a tortured mind
and my blade is sharp
a bad combination
in the dark

Em ( palm mute ) Bm ( bend down entire chord )
if i kill a man
in the first degree
baby , would you
would you flee with me?
