Becoming a Jackal Villagers
Again, like the person before me, I looked at the other tabs for this song and am
offering some perfectionist improvements, as this song can sound amazing and
professional if you add in some other parts.
I worked from the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg0UsO5SFb8
Standard tuning, no capo. Is in 6/4 time.

Intro - strums dead notes, listen to the song for the right rhythm
Verse 1:
b-----1----------- Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
The most familiar room
E[B7]very im[B7+5]plement was le[Em]ading to you[Em7/D]
And your ho[C]mely sense of [C/B]diss[C/A]aray [G]
G7 b----0-------- Never once the same g--2---2--0---
[C]Always re[C/B]arran[Am]ged
But t[Am7/G]hings would never [Am6/F#]change
[B7]In the s[B7+5]cene between the[Em] window f[Em7/D]rame
Where the ja[C]ckals preyed on[C/B] eve[C/A]ry so[G]ul
G7 (strum once, let ring) C(strum once, let ring)
Where they tied you to a pole
And stripped you of your cl[G]othes
Chorus:
[(G)] I was a [C]dream[Bm]er
[Em] Staring out w[Am]indows[Bm]
[G] Out onto the [C]main str[Bm]eet
[Em] Cause that's where the[Am] dream goe[Bm]s
Verse 2:
b-----1----------- Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
[B7]I would tu[B7+5]rn away and retu[Em]rn to you [Em7/D]
You would of[C]fer me your [C/B]unma[C/A]de b[G]ed
G7 b----0-------- Feed me till I'm fed g--2---2--0---
And r[C]ead me [C/B]till I'm re[Am]ad
But w[Am/G]hen the mo[Am6/F#]rning came
[B7]You would c[B7+5]atch me at the w[Em]indow a[Em7/D]gain
In an ey[C]es wide open [C/B]slee[C/A]ping s[G]tate
G7(strum once, let ring) C (strum once, let ring)
Staring into space
With no look upon my f[G]ace
Chorus:
[(G)] I was a [C]dream[Bm]er
[Em] Staring out w[Am]indows[Bm]
[G] Out onto the [C]main str[Bm]eet
[Em] Cause that's where the[Am] dream goe[Bm]s
Bridge:
[C]And when I got ol[C/B]der
[Am]When I grew bol[Am/G]der
F G (Bass notes A then B on beats 5 and 6)
Out onto the streets I flew
[Am]Released from your sha[Am/B]ckles
C (bass notes D then E)
I danced with the Jackals
And lea[F]rned a new way to [Em]move
Verse 3:
Am (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
So before you take this song as truth
B7 (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
You should wonder what I'm taking from you
C (strum once, then play the rhythm as dead notes)
How I benefit from you being here
G7(let ring) C
Lending me your ears
While I'm selling you my f[G]ears
[(G)] I was a [C]dream[Bm]er (I'm selling you my fears)
[Em] Staring out wi[Am]ndows [Bm] (I'm selling you my fears)
[G] Out onto the m[C]ain stre[Bm]et (I'm selling you my fears)
[Em] Cause that's where the [Am]dream goes[Bm] (I'm selling you...)
[G] I was [C]a dre[Bm]amer
[Em] Staring out w[Am]indows[Bm]
[G] Out onto the [C]main str[Bm]eet
Em Am Bm (let ring)
Cause that's where the dream goes
I hope thats helpful and not too complicated - it's quite hard to describe some of
it, so listen to the song and perhaps you can work out what i meant!!
