Fiery Crash chords by Andrew Bird

Chords with lyrics

Intro: A augmentedA (repeated strumming) to E MajorE (let ring)

With this little pattern on lead (on G+G sting) 7-9-10-9


A augmentedA
turnstiles on mezzanine
jet ways and dramamine fiends
and x-ray machines
             D MajorD
you were hurling through space
g-forces twisting your face
        A augmentedA
breeding superstition
       E MajorE
a fatal premonition
            D MajorD
you know you got to envision
      A augmentedA
the fiery crash

D MajorD
oh, close your eyes and you wake up
        A augmentedA
face stuck to a vinyl settee
D MajorD
oh, the line was starting to break up
         A augmentedA
just as you were starting to say
(pause then riff)
something apropos, i don't know.

riff (on G+G string) - 6-4-6-4-2-6-4-2

Interlude: Verse chords

A augmentedA
beige tiles and magazines
lou dobbs and the cnn team
turn on every monitor screen
            D MajorD
you were caught in the crossfire
where every human face has you
reaching for your mace so it's
      A augmentedA
kind of an imposition
a fatal premonition

  D MajorD
to save our lives you've got to envision
  D MajorD
to save all our lives you've got to envision
  D MajorD
and to save all our lives you've got to envision
     A augmentedA
the fiery crash
   A augmentedA
it's just a formality
   A augmentedA
why must i explain?
   A augmentedA
just a nod to mortality
      E MajorE (let ring)
before you get on
          A augmentedA
before you get on a plane.

D MajorD
oh, close your eyes and you wake up
        A augmentedA
face stuck to a vinyl settee
D MajorD
oh, the line was starting to break up
            A augmentedA
