(Made much easier with a capo on 2, but here's the open tuning version)
D/F#: 2 5 4 2 3 2 DaddE: - 5 7 9 7 5
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
By the bumper cars, in the pretty twining light,
I may have gone too far, I may have gone too much, too long, I'm a dull and witless boy
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
In the after bars, think I was sullied by a dream
In the killing jar, you and me at war at arms, all falling in embrace
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m
F# G# A B C# Bm A F#m/D E F#/D F#m
Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/decemberists/shiny_crd.html ]
A tawny gypsy girl, sleeping blanketed by stars
Beneath the tilt-a-whirl, where we were coyly caught alone
All fumbling with your blouse
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m
Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny
E D
And in the rollercoaster din
E D
By the parachutes in saddle shoes you break your shin
E D D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
But I have never seen two eyes so shiny
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
And the sullen beery swine
Try to tangle you in sullen beery balls of twine
Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny
The boys in denim vests, smoking cigarettes between
Their bootblack fingertips, sweetly tipsy by the half-light
The light and the half-light
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m
Tell me why you lied and what it is you do to keep your eyes so shiny
DaddE Dmaj7 DaddE Dmaj7 D/F# F#m D/F# F#m
Oh, shiny... (repeat and fade)
