This is my favorite song by Bright Eyes, and I couldn't believe that not a single
person had the chords correct on the internet. It's a very simple song, only 5 chords.
Tuning: Standard
Capo Second Fret
Verse:
F C
John A. Hobson was a good man
G Am
He used to loan me books and mic stands
F C
He even got me a subscription
G
To the Socialist Review
F C
Listening to records in his basement
G Am
Old folk songs about the government
F C
It's love of money not the market
G
He said, "These fuckers push on you"
Chorus:
F C
And freedom yells, it don't cry
F Am
Whatever sells will decide
F Am
But there's no hell when you die
G
So don't look so worried
Verse:
He got a nightlife, lost his day job
Pushing papers, swinging pendulums
Anything to serve a function
Or to occupy some time
You've got to earn this living somehow
You're good as dead without a bank account
But it's funny how alive he felt
Down in that unemployment line
Chorus:
With all that trash at his feet
The pools of piss in the street
All of that filthy empathy
For the way we're feeling
Bridge:
Em Am G
The billboard's shade, the flags, they wave
C
The anthem was playing loud
Am C F G
The baseball game was letting out
Em Am G
And all at once he saw the dust
C
And heard every tiny sound
Am C F G
Got in his truck and turned around
**Pause**
Drove out through the...
F C
Crowd and the cops
F C
Drove out past that center mall
F C
Drove out past that sickening sprawl
F C
Out past that fenced in gold
F C
And maybe he lost control
F C
Fucking with the radio
F Am G
But I bet the stars seemed so close at the end
F C
At the end
F C
At the end
F C
At the end
F C
At the end
End on F.
