E Is For Estranged Chords
Hi there! I was fed up with reading the wrong tab which has infested the
internet. The time signature can seem a little baffling, and the chord
progression never seems to resolve properly making you think "Eh?", but this
version is certainly closer to the real song. Enjoy!
G Em Bm Fm
Boys run like water from the barrel to the trough.
Fm

Bm G Bm G
Gunning for their brothers.
G Em

Bm Fm

Bm G Bm G

G Em Bm Fm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
Fm Bm G Bm G Bm G

G Em Bm Fm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,
Bm G Bm G
I'll score you a string ensemble.
G Em Bm Fm Fm Bm G Bm

With makeup on his sores,
Bm Fm Fm Bm G Bm G
He spends an hour a day composing little eulogies.
G Em
Sometimes he sends me letters,
Bm Fm Fm Bm G Bm G
But it's mostly garbled phrases and apologies.
G Em Bm Fm
Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
Fm Bm G Bm G Bm G
I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
G Em Bm Fm
If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,

Cue the Bulgarian men's choir.
