For the second and louder part of the song, the guitar part uses the same chords but
the ‘b’ string and sometimes the top ‘e’ string like this:
Chords:
(A2) (C2) (G2) (Em2)
E|--0--------------0-----------(0)-----------(0)---|
B|--0--------------0------------0-------------0----|
G|--2--------------0------------0-------------0----|
D|--2--------------2------------0-------------2----|
A|--0--------------3------------2-------------2----|
E|--------------------------------3-------------0--|
Same rhythm is also used.
(A2) (C2)
The garbage trucks are coming
(G2) (A2)
To take your shit to the dump
(C2)
You're smelling pretty now
(G2) (A2)
Such a pretty little lump
(C2) (G2) (Em2)
A pretty little lump of flesh
(A2) (C2)
Who's lost your way
(Em2) (A2)
Another night another day
(A2) (C2)
And when you sleep at night
(G2) (A2)
Dreaming of the pretty things
(C2)
Don't be too surprised
(G2) (A2)
When the telephone rings
(A2) (C2) (G2) (A2)
Woooooooo wooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
(A2) (C2) (G2) (A2)
Woooooooo wooooo ooooooo oooooooooooo
(A2)
I'll be sitting here
(C2) (G2) (A2)
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
(A2)
I'll be sitting here
(C2) (G2) (A2)
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Outro:
(A2) End on (A2)
