OK – this one was a tough one to figure out. You have to know this song to be 
able to play the rhythm correctly and this is as close as I have been able to 
get it. 

Chord progression throughout most of the song is:

C  Dm  Am  Dm  over and over. Make sure capo is on 4 if you are tryin to play along with CD.

Capo 4


   Dm         C    Dm  Am
An elaborate tale
      Dm        C    Dm  Am
So convincingly real 
           Dm       C  
Things can seem so amazing
         Dm     C   
'Til you get up close 
                Dm     C
And see they're no big deal 
         Dm           C   Dm  Am
Like the stars in the sky 
       Dm         C      Dm  Am
Or the one on the stage 
       Dm          C
Just a big ball of gas 
      Dm      C 
And a regular guy 
             Dm      C  Dm  Am
Fresh out of minimum wage 


Chorus:
F             G#
In a jackalope space
C              F
On a jackalope high 
F               G#
I'm staring you down 
                 C
Creepy jackalope eye 


Many things in this life 
Are not what they appear 
Yeah I look like a hare 
But if you stop and you stare 
I'm related to a deer 

Chorus 2:
I got a jackalope face 
I'm a jackalope guy 
And I'm staring you down 
Creepy jackalope eye 

Is it so hard to imagine 
Is it so hard to believe 
Something so outrageous 
Something so far fetched 
Well how 'bout Adam and Eve? 

I know you gotta have faith 
I know the need to hope 
But the truth is always in place 
It's right in front of my face 
The mighty jackalope 
(Yeah) 


In a jackalope space 
On a jackalope high 
I'm staring you down 
Creepy jackalope 
And I'm staring down 
Creepy jackalope 
And I'm staring you down 
Creepy jackalope eye 
Freaky jackalope eye 
Creepy jackalope eye
