No Way Down chords by The Shins

Chords with lyrics

Listen to the song for rhythm, should be right. If the verse work sounds off, it's
probably due to the lead guitar, took me a little while to work out exactly what the chords
were. Pretty much just worked this out too over the last half hour, think it's right.
Hope it helps!

Intro (play twice)
AbAb C#C# x3
F#F# C#C#

AbAb           C#C#
Meet the son of a Government man
AbAb        C#C#
and a pillar of salt
AbAb          C#C#
I was born with blood on my hands and
   F#F#         C#C#
have all signs of a bleeding heart

AbAb         C#C#
Living high in a giant hog
AbAb      C#C#
and a mountain so steep
AbAb           C#C#
keep your head in a hollow log as
   F#F#       C#C#
the ruling fog are abound to creep

EbmEbm      AbAb
What have we done?
C#C#        AbAb      F#F#
How'd we get so far from the sun?
EbmEbm        BbmBbm
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
     C#C#      AbAb     F#F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

AbAb         C#C#
Out beyond the western squalls
AbAb      C#C#
In an alien land
AbAb        C#C#
they work for nothing at all
      F#F#           C#C#
they don't know the mall of the layaway plan

AbAb         C#C#
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
AbAb       C#C#
everything you could want
AbAb        C#C#
Maybe those invisible slaves are
   F#F#          C#C#
too far away for the ghost to

EbmEbm        AbAb
haunt, what do we charge
   C#C#       AbAb    F#F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
EbmEbm       BbmBbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
    C#C#         AbAb     F#F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
   C#C#     AbAb      F#F#
Get used to the dust in your lungs


Instrumental Break (play twice)
C#C# F#F# x 3
AbAb

     EbmEbm   BbmBbm
Is there no way down
      C#C#       AbAb
from this peak to solid ground
  EbmEbm       BbmBbm
without having our gold teeth
         AbAb   F#F#
pulled from our mouth?

AbAb F#F# x 2
C#C# (stop)

AbAb  C#C#
Make me a drink
AbAb    C#C#
strong enough
AbAb    C#C#         F#F#
to wash away with dishwater world
    C#C#
They said was lemonade

AbAb  C#C#
Walk with me
AbAb    C#C#
after the show
AbAb   C#C#     F#F#
Maybe we can find a way
       C#C#
through the mine field in the


EbmEbm       AbAb
snow, what do we charge
   C#C#       AbAb    F#F#
for letting go of a claim so large?
EbmEbm       BbmBbm
Oh, all of our working days are done
    C#C#         AbAb     F#F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
 C#C#       AbAb      F#F#
Apologies to the sick and the young
   C#C#     AbAb      F#F#
