The Shins Red Rabbits Lyrics

This tab is only about 95% complete because I couldn't figure out a couple of the
on two chords quite (find the ??s, win a prize!). But this should more than get you started
a very simple song.
I figured it out on an acoustic guitar and keyed it to match the CD. I did it with a
on the first fret to play the whole thing using simpler open chords. For beginners, this
the chord name used ONLY represents the chord shape. So when you play a G with capo,
actually playing Ab/G#, C=C#, etc.
The open chords I used:
F = 113211 (or xx3211 if you don't want to barre it)
Any help with the parts I missed or if you'd just like to share how lame I am for
them can be sent to kevtp28@hotmail.com
Cheers
CAPO FIRST FRET
C? D
Hurled to the center of the earth again
The place where it's hot love
You know it hurts to breathe in
And the watershed you balance on is begging it
?? D
Well did he ever know? Will he ever know?
The trees in the moonshine are a dark lattice
So you catalogue every angle you notice
In a vacuum you are charged to record this
?? D C
So you won't make it easy on me
CHORUS:
I can't go into this no more
It puts too many thorns on my mind
And the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor
We've pissed in far too ma-ny Sprites
And they're all standing up for their rights
Born on a desert floor, you've the deepest thirst
And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it
With the wan and drilling eyes of an orphan
?? D
But there was not enough, there is not enough
Out of a gunnysack fall red rabbits
Into a crucible to be rendered an emulsion
And we can't allow a chance they'd restore themselves
?? D C
So we can't make it easy on you
CHORUS #2
Undaunted, you bathe in hollow cries
The boys with swollen sunburnt eyes
A reward for letting nothing under their skin
So help me I don't know, I might
D F? G
Just give the ole Dark Side a try
Don't cast your willing eyes on the shore
F? G
?til we even the score
I still owe you for he hole in the floor
F? G
And the ghost in the hall
Who decides who paddles over the falls?
D?
Yeah, who makes the call? Who makes the call?
(INSTRUMENTAL OVER VERSE PROGRESSION x2)
?? D
CHORUS #3
I know there's an eventual
Release from every scale of crime
But the necessary balloon lies a corpse on the floor
We've pissed on far too ma-ny good in-ten-tions
Held by cle-ver sprites
And they're all standing up for their rights
