Processed By The Boys Chords

(ver. 1)
Protomartyr
During the first line, while the first guitar is playing:
Dm     Dm     Dm     G    ( Dm: 557665 ,      G: 355433 )
The second guitar is playing:
Fmaj7  Fmaj7  Fmaj7  Em7  ( Fmaj7: 88109108 , Em7: 779787 )
 
During the second line, while the first guitar is playing:
F   F   F   Em     ( F: 133211 ,   Em: 022000 )
The second guitar is playing:
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Gmaj7  ( Dm7: 557565 , Gmaj7: 101012111210)
 
During  the chorus, when the first guitar is playing:
G   G   G   G      ( G: 355433 )
The second guitar is playing:
Em7 Em7 Em7 Em7    ( Em7: 779897)
 
The verse is the same way:
While the first guitar would play (to match the bass in the studio):
Am      ( Am: 577555 )
The second guitar is playing (quieter):
Fmaj7   ( Fmaj7: 88109108 )
 
So, if you're reading through the chorus intending to match the vibe
of the studio recording, just remember that each chord is played
simultaneously with the major 7or minor 7 version of the corresponding
chord in the next/previous line.
It's also possible to play the alternate chord rather than the first guitar,
and it will still sound good.
Also, bump up that reverb. You can never have enough reverb.

[Verse 1]
A5                 A5     A5          A5
   When the ending comes, is it gonna run
A5              A5           A5       A5
   At us like a wild-eyed animal?
Am              Am  Am              Am
   A foreign disease washed upon the beach
Am         Am                      Am     Am
   A dagger plunged from out of the shadows

[Verse 2]
A5          A5       A5            A5
   A cosmic grief beyond all comprehension
A5               A5             A5    A5
   All good laid low by outside evil
Am            Am     Am          Am
   Against belief, a riot in the streets
Am         Am            Am             Am
   A giant beast turning mountains into black holes

Reality has a far duller edge
