Punch Brothers - Its All Part Of The Plan

      I noted a distinct lack of recent Punch Brothers lead sheets on here, so
here's an attempt at "It's All Part of the Plan".  It's a pretty straightforward
progression that gets taken in a couple of different keys.  The tune is in five,
but the strumming is pretty straightforward.  The hardest part is phrasing the
vocals, as there are some six bar phrases to watch out for. Also, the C#11 noted
in Verse 1 contributes some of the dissonance that the mandolin adds to the
chords the banjo are playing.  It could be fun to experiment with that elsewhere
in the song, if that's what you're into, but the chords noted here should get you
through the recording without any trouble.

He's getting weaker every day
                C
He's getting weaker every day
                      D
He thought he'd thought of something to say
                 C
Said it 'til he was blue in the face

                                  D
Everybody's business is mine

And I've been doing just as I please
             Bm
Since I found my skeleton key
           C
God I love my skeleton key
                D
You'll never guess who sold it to me
                C
How much I bought it for but believe me
            D/B              G
Buddy I got a hell of a deal

[Chorus]
                C
A hell of a deal

This is all part of the plan
                C#m
Look I'm a god more than a man
                D                                   E
Now I'm a god I don't give a damn about my soul
           A
So if I sign it away in blood
                 C#m
So I can scare the world into loving me
         D
And I scare the world into loving me
              E
I'll have turned nothing into something and buddy
Bm
If you think I look rough
                        E                               Bm
You should see the fool on the other end of the deal
                                E
(You can never get the best of what you can never get enough of)
                     C#m                G#
Write me a law and I'll rise above
                D#                       A#    E
And give me hell and I'll make a hell of a deal
