Vampire Weekend - California English Chords

This song can be played with open chords, but I think that it sounds much better played with barre 
chords.
Also, if you watch a live performance, The band members play it with barre chords.

Wouldn’t ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love

Never really heard you speak that way, it’s unworthy of…

Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt

Living like the French Connection, but we’ll die in LA 

Em              G           C                   F
Blasted from a disconnected light switch 
Em                  G                 C           F
Through the condo that they’ll never finish 
Em                 G          C              F
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish 
      Em                  G           C          C C C
And through your brain to California English 


C C C
No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there ‘til May 
C C C
Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK 
C C C
Waiting with the wind against your face and gel in your hair 
C C C                                               F
Shivering in little undershirts, but don’t seem to care 

Em              G           C                   F
Blasted from a disconnected light switch 
Em                  G                 C           F
Through the condo that they’ll never finish 
Em                 G          C              F
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish 
      Em                  G           C          C C C

G         
Sweet carob rice cake 
           F             C
She don’t care how the sweets taste 
F              
Fake Philly cheese steak 
             Em      C
But she use real toothpaste 

F    
Cuz if that Tom’s don’t work 
C
If it just makes you worse 
F                             G            C
Would you loose all of your faith in the good earth 

F    
And if it’s all a curse 
C
And we’re just getting worse 
F                            G                C
Baby, please don’t lose your faith in the good earth 

Em              G           C                   F
Blasted from a disconnected light switch 
Em                  G                 C           F
Through the condo that they’ll never finish 
Em                 G          C              F
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
