You can play full open chords in the verses if you prefer, but to get the riff to sound
correct, you have to play the octave chords, as notated below (the open D string is left open and the
chord shapes are higher up the neck - there are only six strings being notated).

[Intro]
G5 F#5 E5 D5 (x2)
[Verse 1]
G5 F#5 E5 D5
Skin and bones, you never did come home
G5 F#5 E5 D5
Crashing on my heart through the telephone

In past lives, old poems
[Verse 2]
G5 F#5 E5 D5
I must have lived a lifetime without you

You must’ve ended up somebody’s angel

I remember you loving the radio
Cadd9 Dsus4
New waves, and old stones
[Chorus]
G Em7
Hey, hey little Tommy gun
Cadd9 Dsus4
I guess we’re never gonna end up the lucky ones
G Em7
Oh, if I never see you again

Have a round on me love, hallelujah, nobody wins

The queen is gone, she died from a sad song

It’s alright, move on
