To get it closer to the original, 
you have to play with the "A" a bit,
work with a hammer on and pull off 
on the fifth string, changing from 2
 to 0
and other way around - even 
beginners will have sorted it out 
easily while
listening to the song.
Same goes for the "E" which follows,
 bit more complicated though. I use 
to
play the full E first, then hit the 
empy (0) fourth string two times 
followed
by (4) on the third string (with the
 little finger) and then from there 
a pull
off back the the E which you're 
still holding.

Intro

A  E (x2)



 A                                 
Elizabeth said last night the lake 
                E
roared like the ocean

      Bsus2               
I was landlocked under the 
                       C#sus2
orange-white solstice moon.

         A                     
Imagine: imagining a place just 
                      E
meant to conjure up another.

        Bsus2                      
Three degrees of hometown 
        C#sus2
disconnect in my unborn daughter’s 
room.

Take the 18 bus past the place my 
             E
grandfather grew up

       Bsus2                       
before he got out and met a pretty 
             C#sus2
Swede at the Bible college choir

             A                     
and left his sister wearing saddle 
                         E
shoes in the care of the county

         Bsus2              
with her forehead covered in 
                       C#sus2    
electrode glue, as to not disturb 
               [A  E  (2x)]
the wires.



  A                                
Mistakes were made. Grind it out: I
             E
 can see the edges

    Bsus2                     
the parts where the ends start 
              C#sus2
hemorrhaging time and leaking love.

        A                       
Playing wounded so well, we fell 
                  E
like warm breath cooled.

       Bsus2                    
Like a class ring on a chain the 
         C#sus2
plastic jewel fell out of.



         A                      
Got your ghost ghouling all over 
    E
Milwaukee

             A                     
haunting the homes and factories of
                  E
 captains of dead industries

          Bsus2                    
I’ve seen no place with the 
           C#sus2
capacity to hoard shame like us

       Bsus2                        
   C#sus2             [A  E  (x4)]
in the warehouses possessed and left
 unsold by the city.



      A                     
I was 20 in September in the 
                E
Windexed dirty book store

        A                        
and the cathode-green skinscreens 
             Bsus2
interrupted by the news

          A                        
and those fuckers stole my story - 
    (A)
my american narrative

   Bsus2                           
my connection and my star-spangled 
C#sus2
nudes.



A                                 
Jimmer drew a minty Kool and a 
             E
nine volt battery

      A                            
and a pubic pile of grey steel wool
                        E
 from his jacket on the balcony

        Bsus2
He said we fucked up but won’t admit
 it

        Bsus2
He said we fucked up but won’t admit
