The strumming pattern's not too tough, just listen to the song. This is how John plays
it live on his acoustic.
Sometimes I play it slow and arpeggiated, two steps down with C/Csus, Am, F, and then G
for the bridge.
[Verse]
 A/ Asus2  
Diamonds in the firmament
All reserves completely spent
F#mSomeone set up the oxygen tent
DEverybody here's real proud to present
Choked Aout
[Verse]
 A/ Asus2  
Two hundred dollar take-all purse
Half-nelson to suplex reverse
F#mWorried look on the face of the ringside nurse
DAt one, for once, with the universe
AChoked out
Choked F#mout, choked oDut, choked Aout
[Verse]
 A/ Asus2  
I stretch and strain with all my might
 A/ F#m  
Drift off into the velvety arms of the night
F#mKick and claw and scratch and bite
DFire up the grill, everybody eats tonight
Choked Aout
[Bridge]
F#mNo brakes dAown
F#mAn endless Adark incline
F#mMost of the Aboys
F#mWon't ever cross Athis line
F#mIf they aAll want to die dead broF#mke that's fine, that's Afine
F#mEverybody's got their Alimits
DNobody's found Emine
[Verse]
 A/ Asus2  
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase
All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
F#mI lift right off into space
DI can see the future, it's a real dark place
Choked F#mout, choked oDut, choked Aout
Choked F#mout, choked oDut, choked Aout
