Trees Get Wheeled Away Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Bright Eyes
Cap on first fret, standard tuning.

C
Anchormen spike their blood
G
wear masks of mud 
                 C                     F
cucumbers cut to fit their eyes
         C                                        G                  
and so no one would know how tired they've grown
    C                G                C
of talking and telling their lies
C
while your tvs change stations
         G
scroll messages
                   C                                 F
victims and christians both drinking blood
                       C                                 G
and they pray for the destruction of all hatred
                         C              G            C
more often just those with hate for us
  C                                                        G
cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better. 
C                                      F
to suffer or cause others to
C                                    
and you can live by your conscience
        G
now guilt is a concept
           C             G               C
you're no longer subscribing to
              F                 G
there's a virgin in my bed
               C        G         Am
and she's taking off her dress
       F                        C                 G 
and i'm not sure what i am gonna do
               F                        G
there's a song stuck in my head
         C             G         Am
and i can't help singing it
     F                       C                    G
oh how i hope my singing pleases you
                        Am
cause i am not who I've become

               G                   C
but what you made me into

CGCFC

                C
oh we got no health insurance
     G
no cellular service
     C                        F
no disease they can cure
                             C             
but we need more money to burn
             G                                C      G                        C
so each person must learn the dollar amount they are worth
               C
and your pills make me dizzy
     G
forgetting my body
  C                         F
i watch as it walks away
                        C
and i just keep drinking the poison
       G            
and smoking the cartons
   C               G      C
a pack and a half a day
              C                      
so when time comes to claim me
      G                                       C                         F     
my friends and my family will gather around my grave
                 C                                             G
and they'll believe that they knew me and love me and miss me
       C             G        C
and all call me by my name
F                               G
so imagine what you want
              C          G        Am
and then hold on to that thought
          F                        C              G
cause that's as close as it will ever come
      F                                      G                  C                   Am
and believe you're where you are and keep acting out the part
                F                                            C                           G
but at the end of the end of the day the trees all get wheeled away
                     Am                       G                         C   Am                               
and you'll be standing alone in a blank blank space

    F                                    G
so believe you're who you are
       C        G        Am
and stay in character
                F                          C                     G
but at the end of the play the audience walks away
                     Am                         G        C
and you'll be shivering cold on a well lit stage. 


That's how I play it.  It's the first song I've tabbed, and it's really just chords.
I don't know if this is going to line up correctly, but you get the point. I have it
lined correctly in a microsoft works document if anyone wants it.
