Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs. It's awesome. I love it. I think the lyrics are 98% right. Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other lines might be iffy. Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate. Not sure what he does between the verses though. Maybe some variation of the D chord. The notes that he picks are e, d c#, b. -------------------------| -------------------------| -------------------------| ----2----0---------------| ----------------4-----2--| -------------------------| D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) BmI (x24432@1)spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teas G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) picking part E,D, C#, B combatting the dubious induced haze A (x02220@1) Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) Embarely (022000@1)awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed BmI (x24432@1)ain't slept very well for days G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) Bmfor (x24432@1)all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) EmI (022000@1)should try to bring a better spirit to my day A (x02220@1) Em (022000@1) Bmalthough (x24432@1)I can't believe our souls are at their basest, good G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1) Emi'd (022000@1)like to live as if I could (oh yea) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) Di'd (xx0232@1)like to live as if I could D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1) BmYou (x24432@1)try to offer something without asking much return G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) Em (022000@1) Picking part At best even less than it is worth A (x02220@1) Em (022000@1) F#m (244222@1) EmAnd (022000@1)watch it taken every day from every petty picker BmMore (x24432@1)than you can accumulate from birth G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) BmNo, (x24432@1)you might never know how the work you've done affects your living G (320003@1) F#m (244222@1) EmTrust (022000@1)in animus might just get you through the day A (x02220@1) Em (022000@1) BmAnd (x24432@1)though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on wood G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1) EmI'd (022000@1)to live as if I could (oh yea) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) DI'd (xx0232@1)to live as if i could.
