Becoming a Jackal Lyrics
by 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
Chords used:
Intro - strums dead notes, listen to the song for the right rhythm
Verse 1:
Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
The most familiar room
Every implement was leading to you
And your homely sense of dissaray
Never once the same g--2---2--0---
Always rearranged
But things would never change
In the scene between the window frame
Where the jackals preyed on every soul
G7 (strum once, let ring) C(strum once, let ring)
Where they tied you to a pole
And stripped you of your clothes
Chorus:
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cause that's where the dream goes
Verse 2:
Am Am/G Am6/F# g---2---2--0--------
And each time they found fresh meat to chew
I would turn away and return to you
You would offer me your unmade bed
Feed me till I'm fed g--2---2--0---
And read me till I'm read
But when the morning came
You would catch me at the window again
In an eyes wide open sleeping state
G7(strum once, let ring) C (strum once, let ring)
Staring into space
With no look upon my face
Chorus:
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
Cause that's where the dream goes
Bridge:
And when I got older
When I grew bolder
F G (Bass notes A then B on beats 5 and 6)
Out onto the streets I flew
Released from your shackles
C (bass notes D then E)
I danced with the Jackals
And learned a new way to 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 fears
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
Staring out windows (I'm selling you my fears)
Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
I was a dreamer
Staring out windows
Out onto the main street
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!!
