Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs. It's awesome. I love it. I think the lyrics are 98% right. Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other lines might be iffy. Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate. Not sure what he does between the verses though. Maybe some variation of the D chord. The notes that he picks are e, d c#, b. -------------------------| -------------------------| -------------------------| ----2----0---------------| ----------------4-----2--| -------------------------| D A Bm I spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teas G F#m Em picking part E,D, C#, B combatting the dubious induced haze A Em F#m Em barely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed Bm I ain't slept very well for days G A D Bm for all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians G F#m Em I should try to bring a better spirit to my day A Em Bm although I can't believe our souls are at their basest, good G A Bm Em i'd like to live as if I could (oh yea) G A D i'd like to live as if I could D A Bm You try to offer something without asking much return G F#m Em Picking part At best even less than it is worth A Em F#m Em And watch it taken every day from every petty picker Bm More than you can accumulate from birth G A D Bm No, you might never know how the work you've done affects your living G F#m Em Trust in animus might just get you through the day A Em Bm And though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on wood G A Bm Em I'd to live as if I could (oh yea) G A D I'd to live as if i could. Breakdown: D, A, Bm, G, Fm, Em, Pick, A, Em, Fm, Em, Bm, G, Fm, Em… A Em Bm And though I don't believe in God, and don't think that I should G A Bm Em i'd like to live as if I could (oh yea) G A D i'd like to live as if I could.
