Decemberists

[Intro]
 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em

[Verse]
Cadd9        Cmaj7
By he bumper cars
Cadd9  Cmaj7          Bm  Em  Bm  Em
In the pretty twining light
Cadd9      Cmaj7
I may have gone too far
Cadd9      Cmaj7               Bm
I may have gone too much, too long
Em    G
I’m a dull and
         Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em
 witless boy

[Verse]
Cadd9        Cmaj7
At the after bars
Cadd9        Cmaj7        Bm  Em  Bm  Em
Think I was sullied by a dream
Cadd9          Cmaj7
In the killing jar
Cadd9   Cmaj7         Bm
You and me at war, at arms
Em  G          Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em
All falling in embrace

[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
    Em             D               Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes
    Em9/D  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em
all shiny

[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
A tawny gypsy girl
Cadd9    Cmaj7        Bm  Em  Bm  Em
Sleeping blanketed by stars
Cadd9       Cmaj7
Beneath the tilt-a-whirl
Cadd9         Cmaj7        Bm
Where we were coyly caught alone
Em  G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em
All fumbling with your blouse

[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
    Em             D               Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes
      Em9/D  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em
 all shiny

[Interlude]
D                        C
And in the rollercoaster din
D                    C
By the parachutes in saddle shoes
    Em
You break your shins
D                     C           Bm  Em  Bm  Em
But I have never seen two eyes so shiny

D                    C
And the sullen beery swine
D
Who try to tangle you
   C            Em
In sullen beery balls of twine
D                       C       Bm Em Bm Em
Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?

[Verse]
Cadd9   Cmaj7
Boys in denim vests
Cadd9   Cmaj7        Bm  Em  Bm  Em
Smoking cigarettes between
Cadd9          Cmaj7
The bootblack fingertips
Cadd9   Cmaj7        Bm   Em
Sweetly tipsy by the half light
    G                  Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em
The light and the half light

[Chorus]
Em   D  G   Am  B7
Tell me why you lied
    Em             D               Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7
And what it is you do to keep your eyes
    Em9/D   Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Bm  Em  Bm  Em
all shiny

[Outro]
Em  D  G  Am  B7
