New Slangv8

Quick word on the chords: pluck the bass note on the first beat and strum down and then

on the third and fourth beats respectively, with maybe a light strum up on the second

Can strum all the notes but I find if you just strum the top three (the G,B and e

it sounds more like the real thing). And when you strum the G and F for two bars in the

strum up instead of plucking the bass note for the second bar. Before the chorus just

up.

INTRO

Am Am/E Am Am/E (i.e. play Am but pluck A, E, A, E bass note)

VERSE

Gold teeth and a curse for this town

were all in my mouth

only I don't know how

they got out dear

Turn me back into the pet

I was when we met

I was happier then

with no mind-set

CHORUS

And if you took to me like

a gull takes to the wind

then I'd-a jumped from my tree

and I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives would have fared well

VERSE

New slang when you notice the stripes

the dirt in your fries

hope it's right when you die

old and bo---ny

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall

never should have called

but my head's to the wall

and I'm lo---nely

REPEAT CHORUS exactly as above

(Other versions of the solo aren't quite right, so this is the best

I could come up with, I think it's pretty much there. I've tried to

get the timing right, but you'll need to listen hard to the song if

you want to play it perfect.)

[1/3 means pluck with first fret held down and slide to 3; 2p0 means

pluck with second fret down and pull off to open string]

1st solo (2:09)

VERSE

God speed all the bakers at dawn

may all cut their thumbs

and bleed into their buns

'til they melt away

CHORUS

I'm looking in at the good life

I might be doomed never to find

Without a trust or flaming fields

am I too dumb to refine

and if you took to me like

well I'd have danced like the queen of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives would have fared well

2nd solo (3:08)

OUTRO

end on C

Brilliant song, hope this helps you recreate the magic.
