Die Like a Rich Boy Frightened Rabbit
[Intro]
Basic finger picking of the above chord shapes, listen to song to get the idea
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
This picking pattern more or less continues throughout the song, I've just listed the major chord changes
[Verse 1]
I need to f[G]ind somebody who can tear me away
From the [Em]car crying babies and switchblade days
The b[G]ark of the unemployment hounds
And the [Em]thought of the thick, white skull on the ground
C*
I won't die in the bony arms of the state
To be [Em]laid to rest in the wake of the faded town
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[In tbe acoustic live versions, Scott tbrows in a couple of fills wben picking tbe G cbord]
[Verse 2]
And if the [G]raincoats come to steal my home
There's a [Em]big white house at the end of the road
I can [G]see you wrapped in Egyptian thread
In a [Em]marble garden, immune to the mess
C*
If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
We could [Em]finally make your father proud
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[Pre-Cborus]
C*
If I leave this world in a loaded daze
Em C*
I can finally have and eat my cake
[Cborus]
I want to [G]die like a rich boy diving
In a [C/G]hydro-codone dream
C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
Oh how the [C/G]magazines will [C]grieve
I'll [G]die like a rich boy bathing
In a [C/G]milk bath I could drown
C*
Want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as [C/G]poor as we are [C]now
I want to [G]die like a rich boy drowning
In a [C/G]lake that bears my name
C*
You can die like a rich girl by me
Flushed and [C/G]radiant with [C]fame
I wanna [G]lie in a state on the TV
In a [C/G]golden cardboard crown
C*
Want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as [C/G]poor as we are [C]now
[G - G* - Em - Em*] x 2
[Verse 3/Outro]
Well I [G]found you now so tear me away
From the [Em]feral street they lumped us in
[G]I'll be Shakespeare's moon-struck king
We can [Em]lose our minds at the top of the hill
C*
We burn cash and carry a decadent flame
Way [Em]into the night and beyond the [G]grave
[G - G* - Em - Em* - G]
