TRANQUILIZE THE KILLERS
( Note: actual song is played with all strings tuned town one semitone - Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb
Dm
Time it tells livin' in my hometown
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby dont talk that much
Baby knows that baby don't tease me
F
In the park we could go walking
Bb
Down in the dark we could go sailing
Dm
On the sea-ea
Dm
Always here, always on time close call.
Was it love or was it just easy
Money talks when people need shoes and socks
Steady boys I think that she needs me
F
I was just sippin on something sweet
Bb
I don't need political process
Prechorus:
D5 Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
D5 Asus4
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
But it's been getting to me all this time
A5
And don't stop dragging me down
Chorus 1:
F C Dm Bb
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
F C Dm A
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
Bb C Dm
And sometimes I'm a travelin' but tonight
Dm C Bb C
This engines failing
(play notes on Bass A string (5th) over next line)
A|-8--7----5----3---5----3---1---0-|
E|---------------------------------|
And I still hear the children playing
Dm
Kick the can, kick the can skip and blackjack,
Steal a car and ring around rosie
Rock and roll, candyland, boogieman,
Run away and give me your sneakers
Dm
Acid rain when Abel looked up at Cain
We began weeping and a-wailin'
Hurry high from pestilence pills and pride
It's a shame we could have gone sailing
F Bb
But Heaven knows, Heaven knows everything...tranquilize
Prechorus:
D5 Asus4
I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door
Dm/F Gm*
I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more
D5 Asus4
See I was thinkin' that I lost my mind
Dm/F Gm*
But it's been getting to me all this time
A5
And don't stop dragging me down
Chorus:
F C Dm Bb
Silently reflection turns my world to stone
F C Dm A
Patiently correction leaves us all alone
Bb C
And sometimes I'm a travelin' but tonight
Dm C Bb C
This engines failing
(play notes on Bass E and A strings (6th and 5th) over next line)
A|-8--7----5----3---5----3---1---0--3--0------------1----0-----------|
E|------------------------------------------3---1------------3--0--1-|
I still hear the children playing, dead beat dancers come to us and stay
F Dm
Cause I don't care where you been
C Am
And I don't care what you seen
Dm Gm
We're the ones who still believe
C F
And we're looking for a page
C Dm
In that lifeless book of hope
C Am
Where dream might help you cope
Dm Gm
Where the bushes and the bombs
C F
Uh-huh tranquilize
