    i like to play the verse chords with as many fingers as i can. (does
    that make any sense?) i think it allows for a more controled muting.
  • it also sounds good to barre them. of course it also sounds goo to playy
    the bass part of the verses.
     
  • it goes like this:
     
    Fm Bbm C Fm
  • e|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
    B|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
    G|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
  • D|------------------|-------3-------3-|-------5-------5-|------------------|

    E|-1-3/4----1-3/4---|-----------------|-----------------|-1-3/4----1-3/4---|

    repeat that a couple times
     
  • (words: [Fm]all night long on the broken glass
    [Bbm]living in a medicine chest
    [C]mediteromainian hotel back
  • [Fm]sprawled across a roll top desk.
    etc...)
     
  • the chorus is like this:
     
    [Bbm7]sell me one of those if i shave my head
  • [Eb]get me out of town is what fire ball said
    [Ab]never trust a man in a blue trench coat
    [Ab]never drive a car when you're dead
  •  
    [Bm*]Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
    [C]dye your hair yellow and raise your hem
  • [Fm*]follow me to Beulah's on dry creek road
    [Fm*]i just got to wear the dress that my baby done sowed
     
  • for the last two Fm chords, i like to play this:
    (these are straight quarter notes)
     
  • Fm* Fm*
