i’m not completely happy with the coda .
the main piece uses G chord alternating between the G and B with rhythm then A
full D chord arpegiated over df#a
the a to D only uses first and third in the chord with rhythm .
song starts with a percussive intro for 5 measures , then uses
G D x 3
G D G D
oh , the periphery
G D G D
they throw good parties there
G D G D
those peripheral idiots
G D G D
always have a bite to bear
A D
bear it if you can
A D
if you really want to
G D G D
go to the periphery
G D G D
have them celebrate your name
G D G D
have them forge you a pedigree and then you’ll be
G D G D
left to run the races lame
A D
run it if you want
A D
if you think it’s worth it
G D Em
but not with me
[ chorus ]
Bm C
cause i don’t appreciate
G Bm Em
people who
Bm C
don’t appreciate
G Bm Em C
all that loving must’ve been lackin’ something
Em Bm Em G
if i got bored tryin’ to figure you out
G Bm
you let me down
Cm G
i don’t even like you anymore at all
{continues as for first verse and chorus}
G D G D
oh , the periphery
G D G D
i lost another one there
G D G D
he found a prettier girl than me
G D G D
with a more even – tempered air
A D
and if he wants her , he should get her
A D
cause i think he thinks she’s worth it
G D G D
and maybe they’ll move from the periphery
G D G D
by themselves , or on a plot of land
G D G D
and i’ll care in a different capacity , i’ll just be
G D G D
hoping he makes a good family man
A D
and if he finds himself yearning
A D
for his throne on the silly side
A D
nothing wrong as long as he’s learning
A D
besides , you can take it up with his brethren
D G D Em
or with his bride , just not with me
