'Know Your Onion' by The Shins - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Know Your Onion
Song lyrics:
Intro: B A Abm F#m E
E B x4
E B E B
Shut out, pimpled and angry
E B A B
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
E B E B
Gave up on trying to make them
E B A B
I Figured it'd take them too long to look up
C#m Ab A E
And besides, it was undeniably clear to me, I don't know why
A E D A
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
B
I knew the worthless dregs we've always been
E B E B
Lucked out, found my favourite record
E B A B
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
E B E B E
The songs that I heard, the occasional book
B A B Ab
Were the only fun I ever took
A B E
And I got on with making myself
Break: E A B x2
Ab A B C
Now the trick is just making yourself
G
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
C
You've still got a view of the summer sky
G C
To make it hurt twice when your restless body caves to it's whim
B
And suddenly struggles to take flight
Break: B A Abm F#m E
E B E
Three thousand miles north-east
B E B A B E
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads
E B E B E
"What kind of life you dream of? You're allergic to love"
B A B C#m
Yes I know but I must say in my own defense
Ab A E
It's been undeniably dear to me, I don't know why
A E D A
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
B
I knew the worthless dregs we are
The selfless, loving saints we are
E
The melting, sliding dice we've always been
