Capo on 3rd
Difficulty: Advanced 🤯

Intro:

A# A Adim
F# D#dim D D#m


Verse 1:
A#        A          Adim
  I saw a woman in a leotard
        A#             A
Now I'm not sure how I feel
          Adim
About the avant garde
      A#        Cm       A#m      F#dim
Now I like the idea their politics too.
        A#         D#dim
But I'm not really sure
        A#              Cm
If that means that it's good


Pre-Chorus:
        A#      A A#      D#m
I wanna go there
yeah, yeah!
        A#     A A# A
I wanna go there


Chorus:
G            A        C         G
  And when we go there you will observe
      G           A         C             G
It's a  passionate life, it's  ahead of the curve
       G             A      C        G
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
         G        A
Well it's whatever fits
       C     G
It's the avant garde
      G            A
And it doesn't mean shit
       C     G
It's the avant garde


Instrumental:
A# A A# D#m


Vese 2:
A#            A            A#      D#m
  Should I be more like the  avant garde?
A#            A       A#          D#m
  Would it be easy or would it be hard?
   A#          D#m
Or would it be hard?
      A#            Cm
For a life that's exciting
      A#          D#m
If one wants to go far
        A#       D#   A#
There's only one place
                 C
That's the avant garde


Pre-Chorus:
        A#     A A# D#m
I wanna go there
        A#     A A# D#m
I wanna go there
              A#    A A# D#m
I'll take you with me
                A#       A A# D#m
The things that we'll see


Chorus:
G          A         C         G
 Just look around and you will observe
      G           A         C             G
It's a  passionate life, it's  ahead of the curve
       G             A      C        G
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
         G        A
Well it's whatever fits
       C     G
It's the avant garde
      G            A
And it doesn't mean shit
       C     G
It's the avant garde


Instrumental:
C D G


Pre-Chorus:
        A#     A A# D#m
I wanna go there
        A#     A A# D#m
I wanna go there


Chorus:
G           A         C         G
 And when we go there, you will observe
      G           A         C             G
It's a  passionate life, it's  ahead of the curve
       G             A      C        G
It's deceptively weighty, profoundly absurd
         G        A
Well it's whatever fits
       C     G
It's the avant garde
      G            A
And it doesn't mean shit
       C     G
It's the avant garde
      G            A
And it doesn't mean shit
       C     G
It's the avant garde
