Becoming A Jackal chords by Villagers

Chords with lyrics

Again, like the person before me, I looked at the other tabs for this song and am
offering some perfectionist improvements, as this song can sound amazing and
professional if you add in some other parts.

I worked from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg0UsO5SFb8

Standard tuning, no capo. Is in 6/4 time.

Intro - strums dead notes, listen to the song for the right rhythm

Verse 1:
             b-----1-----------
F#F#  g---2---2--0--------
 The most familiar room
 Em7/D
Every implement was leading to you
      G+G
And your homely sense of dissaray
        G7G7  b----0--------
Never once the same g--2---2--0---
A minorAm
Always rearranged
   F#F#
But things would never change
Em7/D
In the scene between the window frame
      G+G
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
             G7G7 (strum once, let ring)  C(strum once, let ring)
Where they tied you to a pole
              G+G
And stripped you of your clothes

Chorus:

(B minorBm
  I was a dreamer
B minorBm
  Staring out windows
B minorBm
  Out onto the main street
B minorBm
  Cause that's where the dream goes

Verse 2:

                   b-----1-----------
     F#F#   g---2---2--0--------
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
Em7/D
I would turn away and return to you
      G+G
You would offer me your unmade bed
         G7G7  b----0--------
Feed me till I'm fed  g--2---2--0---
   A minorAm
And read me till I'm read
   F#F#
But when the morning came
Em7/D
You would catch me at the window again
    G+G
In an eyes wide open sleeping state
        C majorC (strum once, let ring)
Staring into space
           G+G
With no look upon my face


Chorus:

(B minorBm
  I was a dreamer
B minorBm
  Staring out windows
B minorBm
  Out onto the main street
B minorBm
  Cause that's where the dream goes


Bridge:

C/BC/B
And when I got older
Am/GAm/G
When I grew bolder
G+G (Bass notes A augmentedA then BB on beats 5 and 6)
Out onto the streets I flew
Am/B
Released from your shackles
E MajorE)
I danced with the Jackals
    E minorEm
And learned a new way to move


Verse 3:

     A minorAm (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
So before you take this song as truth

B7B7 (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
You should wonder what I'm taking from you

    C majorC (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
How I benefit from you being here

         C majorC
Lending me your ears
             G+G
While I'm selling you my fears

(B minorBm
  I was a dreamer   (I'm selling you my fears)
B minorBm
  Staring out windows  (I'm selling you my fears)
B minorBm
  Out onto the main street  (I'm selling you my fears)
B minorBm
  Cause that's where the dream goes  (I'm selling you...)

B minorBm
  I was a dreamer
B minorBm
  Staring out windows
B minorBm
  Out onto the main street
B minorBm (let ring)
  Cause that's where the dream goes


I hope thats helpful and not too complicated - it's quite hard to describe some of
