Unfortunately I don?t know most of the lyrics. But the verses play out in the following
way rhythmically:
(following an intro, which is simply an A chord:)
D D Em A (repeat)
For help, I?ll write the chords over one of the lyrics I do know.
D Em
This jukebox won?t play no Sinatra
A D
It just curses all night long
D Em
There?s no easy spoken mantra
A D
Put me back where I belong
Then, the ?chorus? is played like this: (all single strum once first Gm is played)
D Em
(Oh Shangri La, why can?t I find you
A D
and your faded promises)
Gm D
I?ve seen it in your eyes
Gm D A G
A wanted man?s disguise, and a million bad highs
Gm D Gm D
The lights had all gone red, the 4 am dread
Gm D A G
A D
Then you make sense like the star that you are, oh Shangri La
Then back to the verse ( D D Em A ), then chorus once
more ( Gm D ). F?llowing the second chorus:
D Em G A ( D )
Oh Shangri La
D Em G A D Em
G A D
Oh Shangri Laaaaaaaaaaaaa
Then finally, there?s the intro to the last minute and a half:
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| ----10----------12-------14-------15-----------17---------1(b9)-1(b9)--17-----20-- |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------18-----18-- |

D Em A D
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohohhhhhhhh
etc.
