Chords with lyrics
Frontier Ruckus: Springterror; Deadmalls and Nightfalls
Capo 2/Key of G+G without capo/Key of A augmentedA with capo
*Listen to the song to follow where the hammer ons and little walk downs are used.
*Matthew sometimes plays the D MajorD chord with the root on the 5th fret A augmentedA string in a C majorC shape.
Intro: Strum the G+G chord hammer on the G+G note a few times.
G+G
Look at all the steam off the snow
E minorEm C majorC A minorAm
We listen to the Top 40 country radio blow
G+G
Listen to the singer
E minorEm C majorC
Trying to put my finger on who killed who
G+G
When it does linger
E minorEm C majorC
The sweet nostril-stinger of the springs mildew
G+G E minorEm
Was it your will to take his pill orally?
C majorC A minorAm
Or did you act perfunctorily?
G+G
The lamp-shadow dampness
The safe world of campus
E minorEm
The water of your high school eyes
C majorC
Some stadium
A minorAm
Some old college tries
G+G
There in my stomach the liquor heated
With every place I ever trick-or-treated and
E minorEm
We used to message through the ink of night
C majorC A minorAm
With skin still young and pink and tight
D MajorD E minorEm
Back when the tongue thrust with all of our young lust
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm
The dimple-chin brunettes who make simpleton pets of me
G+G
And yes, Im a heel
G7G7
But with Peters keel
E minorEm C majorC
I will cut through the lily-pads
A minorAm D MajorD
The moping mothers and hillbilly dads
E minorEm G+G
And the billboard dentist from White Lake to East Lansing
A minorAm D MajorD
With his day-glo halo sentence entrancing
G+G E minorEm
The moon makes lake-water out to be a filmy skin
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
But who can begin to tell what skin holds far within
G+G
Oh, the bathers
G7G7
Oh, the toweling
E minorEm C majorC
Your cells are saviors that ring wet bells growling and
G+G
You have the black eyes
G7G7
Just holes filled with night skies
E minorEm C majorC
A augmentedA saddening sweetness through your kid-sister sighs
G+G E minorEm
Where the Sylvan Lake corner is flickering with childhood
C majorC A minorAm
And the mourner within me feels older than wildwood
G+G E minorEm
And if I knew what part of me was wax
C majorC A minorAm G+G
Id try to truncate it with a black sopping night axe
