Next To The Trash chords by Punch Brothers

Guitar chords with lyrics

Song: Next to the Trash
Chords written out by Adam Carey

(skip these paragraphs if you don't feel like reading, just some notes on the chords)
One of the more traditional bluegrass songs on Punch Brother's "Antifogmatic,"
it's a very fun song to sit around and play on guitar. All of these chords are
right to my knowledge. I added in some qualities to some of the chords that the
guitarist might not necessarily play in the song, but are present in the overall
harmonies of the song.

 For instance, the 7ths in the F7s are usually either played by Thile on his
mandolin or brushed upon by the violin. If it's easier, just play an F, it'll
sound just fine. The other instance is the 3rd section, ("She's right, I'm mean
when I'm bored") you'll notice Dm/C and Dm/B. You can just easily play a simple
Dm, I just included the bass notes because the bass player plays those notes, and
if you're playing solo it's fun to include them.

F           Bb      F
She puts my body away

Bb         F
Next to the trash

C              A7
Under the sink

Bb                           F   F7
Along with all the cleaning's supplies and the

Bb                                       F
things that we buy and decide we don't need

F                             Bb             F
Well it's damp and it's dark and it's lonely in here

Bb         F
Next to the trash

C        A7
Under the sink

Bb                                              F
But everyone needs some time off now and then

        Bb                                      F
'Cause I'm happy my friends don't feel sorry for me

Dm
She says if you're playin' the game

                              F
I hope you know you won't win it

             Dm
And you can tell me next to the trash

             F
Well I'll tell you I'm in it

Gm                                               Am
Why would you want me to touch it if you know I don't need it

Am         E                    Am
She's right I'm mean when I'm bored

Dm               Am     E                F
So I dig through the trash looking for her

Dm
She would wash herself off

    Dm/B              Am
In the mist from the pipes

(this part below is simply a Dm/C ending in Am, and over it you can play the
descending bass line: D, C, B, A)

   Dm               Dm/C        Dm/B             Am
We could use more of that around here that's for sure


(Solo)
F Bb F Bb F C A7 Bb F


F                        Bb              F
But it seems that whoever has thrown her away

Bb            F        C              A7
Has forgotten the trash under the sink

Bb                                    F  F7
Or was it a joke meant to buy her some time

Bb                                           F
All this citrus and pine make it harder to think

Dm
So I say if you're playing the game

                                          F
I hope you know you won't win it

             Dm
And I'll be sorry if they threw you away

                     F
it's just that they didn't

Gm                                                  Am
She says "Boy, you'd better take it back right now and I mean it"

(Violin solo, ya-da,da da part)
Am E Am Dm Am E F Dm Dm/B Am Dm Dm/C Dm/B Am

F            Bb       F
She puts my body away

Bb           F       C             A7
Then chases my mind up to the roof

   Bb                        F  F7
It jumps in the gutter but she pulls it out

Bb                                     F
And it's all part of having a man in the house

Dm                             Am
It jumps in the gutter she pulls it out

         Gm                          C7               F
And it's all part of having a man in the house
