Tweedy plays this with a capo on 5. I got the lyrics from the first tab for this song.
_________________
Capo 5
The little riff he plays is just a C/G (?) chord: X32013. He then slides from 3 to 5 on
the high E string. And then an F chord.
C F
I have heard the wall and worried of the gospel
C F
Ferry faust it crossed a void
C F
I have married broken spoke charging smoke wheels
C F
Spit and swallowed opioids
G Bb
I am the driver at the wheel of the order
G F
Marching circles at the gate
C Bb
My eyes have seen the fury
G F
So flattered by fate
C F
Tonight I'd rather count the warm fuse ?
C F
Subtract the silence of myself
C F
I would rather choose a million mind of mystery
C F
Be just the rigor for my health
C Bb
I wonder why strange rhymes overpower me
C F
Toss the chimneys in the sea
C Bb
I believe I've seen the finger
G F
Divine extremity
C F
G F Eb D
G F Ab C#C#
() C__________F
Please come closer to the feather smooth lens fry
Sadness is my luxury
Will you wear torn the cold come before I die
More aware of it than me
Without the glowing stone
The kids are unabashed
Loneliness postponed
My eyes deceiving glory
I was born to die alone
Alone
