Chords with lyrics

This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!


[Verse 1]

E minorEm                  D MajorD
All the actors say the streets are bathed in fire
  E minorEm                     D MajorD
And all the action happens in the mouth of a bourboned liar
       C majorC          G+G
We're gonna riot on the streets today!
     C majorC             G+G
Smash an apple on the face of the state:


[Chorus]

   C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC       D MajorD
Fundamentally opposed to the cut of your clothes
      C majorC      D MajorD    C majorC     D MajorD    E minorEm  F# minorF#m
Put your mouth in the sky and push it to edge of flight.

[Verse 2]

E minorEm                      D MajorD
Autumn's faction bursts into the Hyatt and demands a sum:
   E minorEm                D MajorD
The golden statue puzzles and attempts one awkward pun:
     C majorC            G+G
Feed a fever as the five fevers rage
     C majorC         G+G
Feed a fever and paginate your page!


[Chorus]

   C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC      D MajorD
Fundamentally opposed to the cost of your coal
    C majorC      D MajorD      C majorC        D MajorD
Shopkeeper keeps a bowl and he spits his mouth's full
   C majorC      D MajorD       C majorC     D MajorD
In spite of the winds and the customs of pimps:
   C majorC        D MajorD    C majorC       D MajorD
The moon sheds its rise! The moon sheds its rise!

[Bridge]

   A minorAm            E minorEm
The country child culled an abundance of hay:
    A minorAm              E minorEm      C majorC
And I want his uncle's gold: And I want it today-ay!
E minorEm     C majorC
I said it!
E minorEm     C majorC
I said it!
E minorEm     C majorC            E minorEm
I said it! Four fingered-waif's got to stop!

[Outro]

C majorC     E minorEm       C majorC      E minorEm
You don't fear the reaper, you don't fear his son,
C majorC      E minorEm        C majorC           E minorEm        G+G
You better fear the chorus, twelve ragged fingers pointed out at one!
       E minorEm         G+G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
       E minorEm         G+G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
       E minorEm         G+G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
        E minorEm
One writer is short of his daisies...
