New Slang

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.

Gold teeth and a curse for this town
C/E            G     G
were all in my mouth
     C            F    F
only I don't know how

they got out dear
Am   Am/E    C        F    F

with no mind-set


CHORUS

And if you took to me like
 F     C/E          G     G
a gull takes to the wind
           G(x2)       C(x2)
then I'd-a jumped from my tree
F(/C)        C               F           C
and I'd have danced like the king of the eyesores
       F            C                G            G
and the rest of our lives would have fared well

New slang when you notice the stripes

the dirt in your fries
          C              F      F
hope it's right when you die
        Am/E G
old and bo---ny

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
   C/E            G       G
never should have called
       C             F
but my head's to the wall
        Am/E G     G     G
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]

am I too dumb to refine
