Villagers / Becoming a Jackal
Okay yes i MAY have just copied the other version and corrected a few
chords, but who cares if it sounds good? :D I based most of the chords i
changed by the connor guy's jools holand performance, just solo guitar so
its easier to transcribe. Anyway, have fun...

Verse 1:
The most familiar rose
(Em7)
Every implement was leading to you
And your homely sense of dissaray
Never once the same
Always rearranged
But things would never change
(Em7)
In the seam between the window frame
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
Where they tied you to a pole
And stripped you of your clothes
Chorus:
(G)
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cause that's where the dream goes
Verse 2:
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
(Em7)
I would turn away and return to you
You would offer me your unmade bed
Feed me till I'm fed
And read me till I'm read
But when the morning came
(Em7)
You would catch me at the window again
C C/B G (Riff)
In an eyes wide open sleeping state e--------------
Dm (Pause, then riff) C B------0-------
Staring into space G--0h3---3p0---
With no look upon my face A--------------
E--------------
Chorus:
(G)
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cause that's where the dream goes
Bridge:
And when I got older
When I grew bolder
F G7 (Riff 2)
Out onto the streets I flew e----0----0-----
Released from your shackles G----0----0----- (didn't know how to
(riff 2) explain it...) :/
I danced with the Jackals A----3----3-----
And learned a new way to move
Verse 3:
So before you take this song as truth
(Em7)
You should wonder what I'm taking from you
How I benefit from you being here
Lending me your ears
While I'm selling you my fears
(G)
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears)
Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cause that's where the dream goes
