      PAVEMENT- STEREO
Brighten the Corners (1997)

Verses technically are [N.C] as there's no guitar and the bass repeats the intro, but if you want to play it
acoustically or whatever just do A the whole time.

[Verse 1]
A
Pigs, they tend to wiggle when they walk
A
The infrastructure rots
A
And the owners hate the jocks
A
With their agents and their dates
A
If the signatures are checked (You'll just have to wait)
A
And we're counting up the instants that we save
A
Tired nation so depraved
A
From the cheap seats see us
A
Wave to the camera
A
It took a giant ramrod
A
To raze the demon settlement

[Pre-chorus]
    A       G       D
But high-ho silver, ride
A       G       D
High-ho silver, ride
D                           A
Take another ride to see me home

[Chorus 1]
A
Listen to me!
           G             D
I'm on the stereo, stere oh-oh
 A
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
        G                D
Gave me malaria, hysteri a-ah

[Verse 2]
A
What about the voice of Geddy Lee
A
How did it get so high?
A
I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy? (I know him and he does!)
A
And you're my fact-checkin' cuz(Aww...)

[Interlude]
A (repeat while drum machine beat plays)

[Verse 3]
A
Well focus on the quasar in the mist
A
The Kaiser has a cyst
A
And I'm a blank want list
A
The qualms you have and if they stick
A
They will drown you in a crick
A
In the neck of a woods
A
That was populated by
A
Tired nation on the fly
A
Everybody knows advice
A
That was given out for free
A
Lots of details to discern
A
Lots of details

[Pre-chorus]
    A       G       D
But high-ho silver, ride
A       G       D
High-ho silver, ride
D                           A
Take another ride to see me home

[Chorus 1]
A
Get off the air!
           G             D
I'm on the stereo, stere oh-oh
 A
Oh, my baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
        G                D
Gave me malaria, hysteri a-ah

End on A5
