Automatic Doom chords by Yo La Tengo

Guitar chords with lyrics

From the album "Stuff Like That There" (2015)

The song is essentially a simple four-chord progression interspersed with a surf rock guitar riff,
plus a solo thrown in. I tabbed out the main guitar riff, but I'm too lazy to do the whole solo,
but it's pretty easy to figure out. Enjoy!

 Is there an automatic doom that's waiting for you?
A           A/G#        F#m              E               A
 Can there already be a bullet with your name emblazoned boldly?
        A/G#                F#m           E          A
 As you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior

 Automatic doom

A           A/G#           F#m                 E

 And would you be depressed if you determined that your quest is over?
         A/G#                F#m           E          A
 And you lead your life with anxious and repetitive behavior
 A/G#      F#m
 Automatic doom

Main Guitar Riff:

A           A/G#           F#m               E
 Is there a crystal cosmic sparrow floating away?
A           A/G#     F#m              E
 Is there a neo-pterodactyl coming to prey?
A           A/G#             F#m                 E              A
 Are you prepared to see the bad things that you say emblazoned boldly
         A/G#            F#m     E
 In gold letters on your tomb?
