From the LP "The No-Hit Wonder"


Intro:
E MajorE       BB       x2

Verse 1:

E MajorE        BB      A augmentedA            BB
Years of living blood to string
E MajorE         BB     A augmentedA         BB
Years of living hand to mouth
E MajorE           BB      A augmentedA        BB
Years just getting gig to gig
E MajorE       BB     A augmentedA         BB
East to West, North to South


(The same chord progression is used for all of the verses)


        E MajorE               BB         A augmentedA  BB
Well he could have been making a killing
E MajorE            BB  A augmentedA   BB
Peddling the Dream
           E MajorE            BB       A augmentedA              BB
But if you found him at all you found him just scraping
  E MajorE      BB        A augmentedA        BB
A augmentedA living blood to string

So sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A augmentedA     E MajorE      BB
Though it isn t one of his
     E MajorE     BB         A augmentedA BB
He d sing  Shovel me under
         E MajorE  BB       A augmentedA   BB         (C# minorC#m)    E MajorE

Verse 2:

         E MajorE             BB         A augmentedA          BB
He broke free from the way they raised him
          E MajorE         BB               A augmentedA     BB
He knows a heart is hell enough and never full
         E MajorE         BB           A augmentedA        BB
He never sang that music would save him
            E MajorE        BB    A augmentedA      BB
Knows never trust an evangelical

              E MajorE          BB          A augmentedA         BB
He d say  You wanna know what true love feels like?
         E MajorE         BB         A augmentedA        BB
It s the next best thing to death
           E MajorE        BB       A augmentedA   BB
Feels like after an elbowed windpipe
     E MajorE               BB        A augmentedA     BB
Just before the next breath?
     E MajorE                BB           A augmentedA              BB
Just before your next breath - So with your next breath


       E MajorE            BB      A augmentedA  BB
Sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A augmentedA     E MajorE      BB
Though it isn t one of his
     E MajorE     BB         A augmentedA BB
He d sing  Shovel me under
         E MajorE  BB       A augmentedA   BB         (C# minorC#m)    E MajorE
Boys, it is what it is? It is what it is



Bridge:

       C# minorC#m                   E MajorE
But at night he can hear the fireworks
         A augmentedA      E MajorE
From his tunnel underground
         C# minorC#m                    E MajorE
And he s carved himself a little crawlspace
        A augmentedA           E MajorE
Just to lay his body down
   A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
To fade out of sound
       A augmentedA         BB   E MajorE
To the thunder under town


       E MajorE            BB      A augmentedA  BB
Sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A augmentedA     E MajorE      BB
Though it isn t one of his
     E MajorE     BB         A augmentedA BB
He d sing  Shovel me under
         E MajorE  BB       A augmentedA   BB         (C# minorC#m)    E MajorE
