This is Pixies' cover (though it's more of a remake) of a Grateful Dead song
which they played at Newport. This is what I play based off the vocal
chord changes and after watching the video from Newport, I think this is right.

D
Put the needle in my arm
G D
And I’ll be dead and gone
D Bm
Put the needle in my arm
G D
And I’ll be dead and gone
D Bm
I wouldn’t mind a needle
D Bm
I’ve just been on this road so long, oh boy
Bb A D
Been all around the world
Been all the way to Reno
And parts of Californ'
Been all the way down Reno
And parts of Californ'
I had some kind of luck there
Wished I never had been born, oh boy
Been all around the world
I went upon the signal hill
And there I made my stand
I went upon the signal hill
And there I made my stand
Bullets in my pocket
Semi-auto in my hand, oh boy
Been all around the world
Put the needle in my arm
And I’ll be dead and gone
Put the needle in my arm
And I’ll be dead and gone
I wouldn’t mind a needle
Just a-lying in a jail so long, oh boy
Been all around the world
Put me down into the chair
And then I close my eyes
They put me down into the chair
Then I closed my eyes
Last words that I remember
Won’t be long before you die, oh boy
Been all around the world
Put the needle in my arm
And I’ll be dead and gone
Put the needle in my arm
And I’ll be dead and gone
I wouldn’t mind a needle
Just a-lying in a grave so long, oh boy
Been all around the world
