Chords with lyrics

@Song: Gold Soundz
Written by Pavement
Recorded by Pavement on album "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain" (Matador)
Transcription by Gary Von Colln

Here's the basic chord progression. The A-B-D progression is also
used in the instrumental interlude. If you don't want to bother with
the Dsus2Dsus2 and Bsus2Bsus2 just play D MajorD and BB instead, it will still sound
good.

****************************************************************************

A augmentedA
Go back to those gold soundz
      BB       D MajorD
And keep my affect to yourself
       A augmentedA
Because it's nothing that I don't like
    BB         D MajorD
Is it a crisis or a boring change
     A augmentedA
When it's central, so essential
     BB         D MajorD
It has a nice ring when you laugh
    A augmentedA
At the low-life opinions
      BB          D MajorD
And they're coming to the chorus now

     F# minorF#m       Dsus2Dsus2
I keep my address to yourself
       Bsus2Bsus2
Cause we need secrets
    Dsus2Dsus2
We need secret, cret, cret, cret, crets
      A augmentedA
Back right now

Because I never want to make you feel
That you're social, never ignorant soul
Believe in what you want to do
And do you think that is a major flaw
When they rise up in the falling rain
And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
The trials over, the weapon's found

Keep my address to myself
Cause it's secret
Cause it's secret, cret,
cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,
Back right now

So drunk in the august sun
And you're the kind of girl I like
Because you're empty, and I'm empty
And you can never quarantine the past
Did you remember in December
That I won't eat you when I'm gone
And if I go there ,I won't stay there
Because I'm sitting here too long
I've been sitting here too long
And I've been wasting
Allocating outward
For the last word
Last words come up
All you've got to wait

Now for some "Pavement chords". First retune your guitar to
C-G-D-G-B-B (fat E MajorE string down 4 frets in pitch, A augmentedA string down 2 frets
in pitch, thin E MajorE sting down 5 frets in pitch). Once you've retuned
these are the chord shapes:

   A(I)  A augmentedA (2 fr.)   B(I)  BB (2 fr.) Bsus2Bsus2  D(I) D MajorD (2 fr.)  Dsus2Dsus2
F# minorF#m
B-|------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-|--2-------10--------4-------12-----4--------7-----15------7-------10----
G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----6--------7-----14------9-------11----
D-|--2-------11--------4-------13-----4--------7-----16------7-------11----
G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----4--------7-----14------7-------11----
C-|-----------9----------------11--------------------14--------------------

The (I) or (II) just indicates position, e.g. A(I) is an A augmentedA major,
played in the first position (along the guitar neck), while A(II) is
also A augmentedA major but played in the second position.

Note that the first string is not played in any of the above chords.
Since the first and second strings are tuned the same, if you want,
you can fret the first string the same as the second and play it.

>From listening to the recording, I think the two guitars play as
follows:

verses:
  guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I)
  guitar 2: A(II) - A(II) - A(II)

Here guitar 2 is playing the A(II) the whole time. Listen for those
high notes on the record, especially during the first verse when
guitar 1 is quit.

chorus:
  both: F# minorF#m - Dsus2Dsus2 - Bsus2Bsus2 - Dsus2Dsus2

intrumental interlude (roughly):
  guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I)
  guitar 2: A(II) - B(II) - D(II)

The interlude is pretty free form so this simple pattern isn't the
whole story, but you can play around with these chords and find a lot
