Dogtown chords by The Fratellis

Chords with lyrics

NOTE: There's a syncopated chord pattern used throughout the song, starting
with the intro. The second measure includes a slide up (from a B5B5 to a C#5C#5
if you play it Capo 2).

| C#5C#5 E MajorE B5B5 F#F# | B5B5 / C#5C#5 C#5 B5B5 C#5C#5 E5E5 C#5C#5 |
 1  2 3 4  1  &  2  & 3  & 4

In standard tab notation a forward slash means "slide up," but in standard
chord notation it's used to indicate a chord with an alternate bass note.
To make sure there's no confusion, I'll notate the slide with a forward arrow
(>), like this:

| C#5C#5 E MajorE B5B5 F#F# | B5B5 > C#5C#5 C#5 B5B5 C#5C#5 E5E5 C#5C#5 |

Capo: 2

     C#5C#5    E MajorE    B5B5     F#F#
There's a snakeskin bedroom bang in the middle
   B5B5 > C#5C#5    C#5C#5  B5B5   C#5C#5   E5E5 C#5C#5
Of a fun??ny little place called "Hell." (Oh well.)
C#5C#5    E MajorE      B5B5       F#F#
Everybody there's got trouble by the dozen
    B5B5 > C#5C#5    C#5C#5  B5B5 C#5C#5  E5E5 C#5C#5
It's a lone-ly little place to dwell . .
G#G#
. Hope I don't make the trip through the floor
  F#F#                G#G#
You told me once, "I want it but you wanted it more"

I know kung fu, you know nothing
   B5B5 > C#5C#5     C#5C#5 B5B5 C#5C#5  E5E5  C#5C#5
But toge??-ther we can make it real. (Good deal.)
C#5C#5     E MajorE    B5B5      F#F#
Kicking our own way out of every prison
   B5B5 > C#5C#5    C#5C#5 B5B5  C#5C#5  E5E5 C#5C#5
With my  brains and your high heels . .
G#G#                      G#G# G+G
. Love your myth coupled with your vast ocean . .
F#F#            G#G#        G#G# A augmentedA
Take my eyes as the prize for your devotion . .

A augmentedA fun?-ny thing to know you've died? (Doves cried.)
C#5C#5  E MajorE      B5B5     F#F#
Angels wept just as if I was a brother
  B5B5 > C#5C#5    C#5C#5 B5B5 C#5C#5  E5E5 C#5C#5
And sang the blues for my bride . .

C#5C#5        E MajorE     B5B5    F#F#
I've been keeping time in a skeleton soul band
B5B5 > C#5C#5     C#5C#5  B5B5  C#5C#5   E5E5 C#5C#5
Don't it make your heart just bleed? (In-deed.)
C#5C#5    E MajorE      B5B5      F#F#
Keeping my nose clean, hoping I can crash land
B5B5 > C#5C#5      C#5C#5  B5B5 C#5C#5 E5E5 C#5C#5
Back where I've got mouths to feed . .

Charted by Dexex

I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played
