Richard Coury Chords

(ver. 2)
The Menzingers

Hey folks,
I love this band and I love this song and its meaning. 
I think that the few tabs available aren't any good at all. 
I don't claim that my suggestion is 100% correct but definetely more fitting than 
the other versions you'll find. 
Alright, so we go with standard tuning, strumming pattern is easy to figure
out, just play along with the album version. 
PS.: for the Em I like to play Em7, sounds nice as well...


1st verse

Am      C                 G
    The amber flow, sweat like the glass
Am          C        G
    Crimson faces forget the past
Am                 C                     G
    With a swisher sweet and a fireman's hack
Am              C                          G
    We can reminisce but we can never look back


1st pre-chorus

  Em           C            G
Unhappiness, a lonely road, who thought success could take such a toll?
  Em           C               G      D Dsus4 D
Unhappiness, a lonely road, oh oh, oh ooohhhh


1st chorus

G       Em          C             G
Richard Coury put a bullet in his brain
G                Em          C            G
Every day is the same, loneliness all the haze
G                           Em                 C                  G
So we live our lives and we have our fun while he wraps his lips around the gun
G       C             G
Richard Coury was his name

//electric guitar is kicking in


2nd verse

Am      C                 G
    Its 5 o'clock time to check the quotes
Am       C      G
    Down 22, rethink my do's and don'ts
Am        C             G
    Secretary won't you hold my calls
Am              C                        G
    Cancel my appointments, I've got something to solve


2nd pre-chorus (a bit different!)

  Em           G            Em                        G
Unhappiness, a lonely road, who thought success could take such a toll?
  Em           G               C      D Dsus4 D
Unhappiness, a lonely road, oh oh, oh ooohhhh


2nd chorus

G       Em          C             G
Richard Coury put a bullet in his brain
G                Em          C            G
Every day is the same, loneliness all the haze
G                           Em                 C                  G
So we live our lives and we have our fun while he wraps his lips around the gun
G       C             G
Richard Coury was his name

//do something like this on the A-string:       A|--0h2h3--2--


last chorus

G       Em          C             G
Richard Coury put a bullet in his brain
G                Em          C            G
Every day is the same, loneliness all the haze
G                           Em                 C                  G
So we live our lives and we have our fun while he wraps his lips around the gun
G       C             G
Richard Coury was his name
