No Way Down chords by The Shins

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!

and a pillar of salt
Ab                   C#
I was born with blood on my hands and

have all signs of a bleeding heart

Ab                 C#
Living high in a giant hog

the ruling fog are abound to creep

Ebm                Bbm
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         C#            Ab          F#
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

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

Dig yourself a beautiful grave

everything you could want

Maybe those invisible slaves are

too far away for the ghost to

haunt, what do we charge
      C#              Ab       F#
for letting go of a claim so large?

Oh, all of our working days are done
       C#                 Ab          F#
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
      C#         Ab            F#
Get used to the dust in your lungs

from this peak to solid ground

without having our gold teeth

pulled from our mouth?

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

Ab    C#
Walk with me
Ab        C#
after the show

Maybe we can find a way

through the mine field in the
