Bm A D G A Asus2 A
There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel
Bm A D G A Asus2 A
Diminish, a carnival of sorts
Bm A D G A Asus2 A
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel
Bm A D G A Asus2 A
Stranger, stranger to these parts
Pre-chorus:
G A Bm A*
Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage
G A
Gentlemen don't get caught
(*Tip: Peter Buck plays this chord and adds some jangling on the high strings live, like this:
A
e|-0-0-------------|
B|-2---2---3-2-0---|
G|-2-----2-------2-|
D|-2---------------|
A|-0---------------|
E|-----------------|
Also: You can jangle the other chords instead of just strumming them, sounds even
better. The last G and A chords are played by strumming quickly the low strings.)
Chorus:
Bm G A*
Box cars (are pulling) out of town
Bm G A*
Box cars (are pulling) out of town
Bm G A*
Box cars (are pulling) out of town
Bm G A*
Bm G A*
(*Note: Peter seems to play the chorus jangling the strings following some pattern that
I can't figure it out, but you can make it sound fine strumming the chords loosely. Each
A chord always ends with this phrase:
A
e|-0-0-0---------|
B|-2-2-2-3-2-0---|
G|-2-2-2-------2-|
D|-2-2-2---------|
A|-0-0-0---------|
