Chi-town chords by The Cribs

Chords with lyrics

Taken from their forth-coming album In The Belly of The Brazen Bull, I've just had a
quick stab at the chords for this- it sounds about ok to me!

I've put the chords as open, but I'm pretty sure they're played as power chords or barre chords.

The G+G bits in the verse are just two very quick hits of the G+G chord. Pretty simple really-
I prefer to play them as power chords, G5, C5, A5A5 etc, but you may prefer barred or open.

will I only hear when you're dead?

But I'll still think of you to take it out on myself.

It kind of stays on G, sliding up one fret, a few times, then alternates and gets quicker

Hope this helps- I can play the solo, but not 100%. I'm sure some of the better players
