This song must be played with energy, using some tricks like slapping or anything
that keeps the song stirring.

Energic doesn't mean fast: take it as you feel it (the album version is quite slow).
However, if you want to speed up, that's gonna be hard to play the original beat
Bass-Chord-Chord, it will be clearer if you only play Bass-Chord.

You may add more strikes on the E.

== Bridge ==

A||-0-------------0-------------|-0--------------0--||
E||--------0-------------0------|--------0-------0--||

The bridge may be longer.
Don't hold the last chord, the effect is better.




== Verse 2 ==


Like the verse 1 :
Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E

The only difference is that the two last chords Fmaj7 and E are played only once,
softly and slowing down (listen to the song).




== Chorus ==


E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7 + -0--3--0--3-




== Bridge 2 ==


This part includes a little riff (I'm not gonna put it here) and some "oh-oh-oooh-oh".

The chords are like in the verse :
Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E




== Chorus ==


E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E

At the end, repeat the 4 last chords (Bb-Am**-G7-E) 4 times and finish with -0--3--0--3.

Ending chord : Am


----------------------------------------------------------------

             Am                C
Oh my father said : "Just keep silent
           Dadd9
And in the places where you've been
       F                      E
Nobody will say you've been seen."
                 Am           C
And I go to the woods once or twice a year
           Dadd9                   Fmaj7      E
And I sing "doo-doo-doo" when they shave my hair.


                  E7                      Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
And the old man's ghost.
              E7                      Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats.


Bridge : Am Am


           Am          C
And in the big big big cities
       Dadd9 F    E
I gave all I got !
               Am            C
And I shared a secret with a stranger
             Dadd9        Fmaj7 E
For he won't say it to my fa----ther.


                  E7                      Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
And the old man's ghost.
              E7                      Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats.


Bridge : Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
       Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E


                  E7                      Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
And the old man's ghost.
              E7                      Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats
        Bb  Am**   G7   E
Killin' two white goats,
              Am
