Bukowski Chords

(ver. 2)
Modest Mouse
(Intro)
My first tab, any suggestions are welcome! Great song, here are some good tabs if 
there's two of you it would sound pretty cool:


If you'd prefer it without a capo then there's another version without one: 


_____________________________________________________________________________


Capo 3 

Chords (relative to capo): Am , G & F

If you don't like bar chords this is another way of playing F: 

e|---0--------|
B|---1--------|
G|---2--------|
D|---3--------|
A|---3--------|
E|---0--------|

Am                  
Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,

G
That every night turns out to be

F
A little more like Bukowski.

F
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.

Am
But God who'd want to be?

G                    F
God who'd want to be such an a**hole?

Am
God who'd want to be?

G                    F
God who'd want to be such an a**hole?

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
The crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Well who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?

Well see what you want to see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!

If God controls the land and disease,
Keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
My problem is I can't see,
Well who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Well who would want to be?
Who would want to be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
When you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?

Went to bed and didn't see
Why every day turns out to be
A little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd want to be?
God who'd want to be such an a**hole?

(Play it with the song and it helps with getting the rythm)
