      This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!


[Verse 1]

Em                                   D                 
All the actors say the streets are bathed in fire
    Em                                          D
And all the action happens in the mouth of a bourboned liar
             C                    G
We're gonna riot on the streets today!
          C                         G
Smash an apple on the face of the state:


[Chorus]

     C           D            C             D
Fundamentally opposed to the cut of your clothes
           C           D       C          D        Em    F#m  
Put your mouth in the sky and push it to edge of flight.


[Verse 2]

Em                                            D
Autumn's faction bursts into the Hyatt and demands a sum:
      Em                                D
The golden statue puzzles and attempts one awkward pun:
         C                        G
Feed a fever as the five fevers rage
         C                  G
Feed a fever and paginate your page!


[Chorus]

     C           D            C            D
Fundamentally opposed to the cost of your coal
       C            D            C                D
Shopkeeper keeps a bowl and he spits his mouth's full
     C            D              C         D
In spite of the winds and the customs of pimps:
     C               D        C              D
The moon sheds its rise! The moon sheds its rise!

[Bridge]

      Am                       Em
The country child culled an abundance of hay:
       Am                           Em            C
And I want his uncle's gold: And I want it today-ay!
Em          C 
I said it! 
Em          C
I said it! 
Em          C                       Em
I said it! Four fingered-waif's got to stop!

 (I think this is the bass line... anyway it sounds pretty good to me!)

[Outro]

C          Em             C           Em
You don't fear the reaper, you don't fear his son,
C           Em                C                      Em               G
You better fear the chorus, twelve ragged fingers pointed out at one!
             Em                  G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
             Em                  G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
             Em                  G
You stick a rose in the golden sand!
               Em
One writer is short of his daisies...

    G     A     G            F#m      D   Em
