Becoming A Jackal chords by Villagers

Guitar 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#    g---2---2--0--------
  The most familiar room
 Em7/D
Every implement was leading to you
           G
And your homely sense of dissaray
                G7   b----0--------
Never once the same  g--2---2--0---
Am
Always rearranged
     F#
But things would never change
Em7/D
In the scene between the window frame
            G
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
                         G7 (strum once, let ring)    C(strum once, let ring)
Where they tied you to a pole
                           G
And stripped you of your clothes

Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

                                      b-----1-----------
         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
You would offer me your unmade bed
                  G7    b----0--------
Feed me till I'm fed    g--2---2--0---
     Am
And read me till I'm read
     F#
But when the morning came
Em7/D
You would catch me at the window again
        G
In an eyes wide open sleeping state
               C (strum once, let ring)
Staring into space
                      G
With no look upon my face


Chorus:

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


Bridge:

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


Verse 3:

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

B7 (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
You should wonder what I'm taking from you

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

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

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

Bm
   I was a dreamer
Bm
   Staring out windows
Bm
   Out onto the main street
Bm (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
