Made Up English Oceans Chords

Post by LastLawson »

Patterson plays it in standard E with some open chords (Em, G, D, A). Cooley plays in standard D, but with all barre chords. These chords are for Patterson... if you want to play it like Cooley, tune down, and transpose these chords up a full step (eg Bm becomes C#m), and only play barre chords. Lyrics from DBT site.

Bm

Bm F#m A
6x9 and counting down in one after the other
Em G Bm
they’ll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
Bm F#m A
over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
Em G
and made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

Bm A Em G x2

Bm F#m A
Once you grab them by the pride their hearts are bound to follow,
Em G Bm
their natural fear of anything less manly or less natural,
Bm F#m A
like gunless sheriffs caught on lonesome roads and live to tell it
Em G
How hard it is for meaner men without the lead to sell it

Bm

Bm F#m A
Only simple men can see the logic in whatever
Em G Bm
smarter men can whittle down till you can fit it on a sticker
Bm F#m A
Get it stuck like mud and bugs to names that set the standard,
Em G
They’ll live it like it’s gospel and they’ll quote it like it’s scripture

Bm

G D A
6x9 and counting down in one after the other
G F#m Em
they’ll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers
G F#m A
over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans
Em G
and made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

Bm

G D A
Its no matter if they dress real nice and sit up straight and stupid
G F#m Em
and say their prayers in quiet ancient tongues
G F#m A
They’re no different that the ones who close their eyes and fall down to the ground
Em G
and twitch just like their nerves have come undone

Bm

Bm F#m A
So be it if they come to find out feeling good’s as easy
Em G Bm
as denying that there’s day or night at all
Bm F#m A
til what it takes to feel a thing seems so far out of reach
Em G
they just claw their skin and grind their teeth and bawl

Bm A Em G x 3
Bm
