Standard (EADGBE)

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.

Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies,

all you want's one more Saturday.

But look here, until then

 They're gonna buy your life's time

So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters

Til the day, we come in doing cartwheels

 We all crawl out by ourselves, and your shape on the dance floor

 Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes.

 You'll be damned to be one of us girl

 Faced with the dodo's conundrum

I felt like I could just fly

 But nothing happened every time I tried.

Duotone on the wall, the selfless fool who hoped he'd saved us all

never dreamt of such sterile hands

You keep them folded in your lap, or raise them up to beg for scraps

You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same

 Will you be pulled from the ocean? But just a minute too late?

 Or changed by a potion, and find a handsome young mate for you to love

 you'll be damned to pining through the window panes, you know

you'll trade your life for any ordinary joe's, well do it now or grow old

 Cos your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

Solo

Verse chords x2)

Been alone since you were 21, you haven't laughed since January

You try and make like this is so much fun, but we know it to be be quite contrary

La la la la la la

Dare to be one of us, girl, facing the android's conundrum

I felt like I should just cry

But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin

 Yeah Himmler in your coat you don't know how long I've been

Watching the lantern dim, starved of oxygen, oh

 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!
