this is the opening riff is like this , the other part is done with la’s , but if
you want to play it too , just play 9 on the G , 11 then 9 on the D string .
the intro is just an E chord . it sounds better with A 5th root barre chord , how
james mercer plays it . when james does the intro acoustically , he sometimes
removes all but the barred root while playing , gives a nice sound when played this way .
E C#m F#m
born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies ,
F#m G#m A G#m F#m
all you want’s one more saturday .
E C#m
but look here , until then
F#m
they’re gonna buy your life’s time
F#m – G#m A G#m F#m
so keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B E
til the day , we come in doing cartwheels
B E
we all crawl out by ourselves , and your shape on the dance floor
B
will have me thinking such filth i’ll gouge my eyes .
C#m A
you’ll be damned to be one of us girl
C#m A
faced with the dodo’s conundrum
E F#m A
i felt like i could just fly
G#m B A G#m F#m
but nothing happened every time i tried .
E C#m F#m
duotone on the wall , the selfless fool who hoped he’d saved us all
F#m G#m A G#m F#m
never dreamt of such sterile hands
E C#m F#m
you keep them folded in your lap , or raise them up to beg for scraps
F#m G#m A G#m F#m B
you know he’s holding you down with the tips of his fingers , just the same
E B
will you be pulled from the ocean? but just a minute too late?
E B
or changed by a potion , and find a handsome young mate for you to love
C#m A
you’ll be damned to pining through the window panes , you know
C#m A E – F#m A
you’ll trade your life for any ordinary joe’s , well do it now or grow old
G#m B A G#m F#m
cos your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
solo ( verse chords x2 )

E , C#m , F#m , G#m , A , G#m , F#m
B E
been alone since you were 21 , you haven’t laughed since january
B E
you try and make like this is so much fun , but we know it to be be quite contrary
B
la la la la la la
C#m A C#m A
dare to be one of us , girl , facing the android’s conundrum
E – F#m A
i felt like i should just cry
G#m A
but nothing happens every time i take one on the chin
G#m A
yeah himmler in your coat you don’t know how long i’ve been
G#m A G#m A
watching the lantern dim , starved of oxygen , oh
F#m A B
so give me your hand and lets jump out the window
E until end .
i’ve put in all the bits that were missing from previous versions , for instance , i
put in the rundown of the chords at the end of the verses etc . it looks quite
confusing , but if you listen to the song , you’ll get the timing and it’ll sound great!
hope you enjoy! please rate! been playing guitar for less than a year and only
made a few tabs before . hope this helps you achieve pure shins goodness!
