Notes:
All verse chords should be voiced as bar chords
starting on the A-string (e.g. FF = x|8|10|10|10|8 ; C majorC = x|3|5|5|5|3 ; etc.).
Though I think Tweedy plays the second FF (on "secretaries") down on 1,
you need to play it up high if you wanna mimic the bass line
by hitting the root and fifth below it on beats 1 and 3
(e.g. for F, 8 on the A-string and then 8 on the E-string).

On the chorus, all chords that can be played in open
voicings should be done so. The B7B7 is voiced as shown below.
You can walk down the C majorC after "You wouldn't like it here"
to the C7C7 in order to mimic Nels' part (i.e. 1 then 0 on BB
and then play the C7C7).

Here's some of the trickier chord voicings:
Ebdim: x|6|7|8|7|x
Gbdim: x|9|10|11|10|x
Baug: X|2|1|0|x|x
B7: x|2|1|2|x|x

Enjoy! Love this song. Very Sergeant Peppers.

(first half of verse w/o lyrics)

Capitol towers, radiator steam vents
Scream along with the clarinets and arguments
Echo down the hall
I can't sleep; I can't wake up
I'm shaken up; maybe we should break up
I wish you were here
Better yet I wish I was there with you

CHORUS

(first half of verse w/o lyrics)

Capitol city skyline photo
Picture postcard sign the moon's so
Low in the sky
I can't smile when my heart's still broken
Far away in love and unspoken
I wish you were here
Or I was there with you
