Bright Eyes — Middleman Chords

  Rate this tab:
Chords relative to Capo on 4

The chords are strange. They are as far as I understand:

  Bm      Asus4add9    C#m7b9    F#

e—(0)—       —x—        —x—      —2—|
b——3——       —3—        —3—      —2—|
g——4——       —4—        —4—      —3—|
d——4——       —2—        —2—      —4—|
a——2——       —0—        —4—      —4—|
E——x——       —x—        —x—      —2—|

For the verse. And:

   Bm         G          D        F#

e—(0)—       —3—        —2—      —2—|
b——3——       —3—        —3—      —2—|
g——4——       —0—        —2—      —3—|
d——4——       —0—        —0—      —4—|
a——2——       —2—        —x—      —4—|
E——x——       —3—        —x—      —2—|

For the chorus. I will call the modified A and C#, A* and C#* just to save me typing 
None of this is based on me figuring anything out. I just put to a tab what TecumsehBand 
in this video:

I didn't post the finger picking pattern because honestly i don't know it. You'd have to 
to Tecumseh about it. Strumming the chords is enough for me. Thanks to Tecumseh.


Intro:

Bm  A* C#*    X8

Bm     C#*      Bm      C#*   F#

Bm  A* C#*    X2

Bm           A*           C#*
I traveled though the atmosphere

Bm           A*           C#*
as a wall of feedback climbed

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
The pegs were gold, the band was old,

F#              Bm           A*           C#*
they played in half time


Bm           A*           C#*
Now every dream gets whittled down

Bm           A*           C#*
just like every fool gets wise

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
You will never reap of any seed

F#
deprived of sunlight


Bm           A*           C#*     X2

G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman

G                   Bm
The gray areas are mine

D   G          F#     Bm
The in—between, the absentee

F#             Bm           A*           C#*
Is a beautiful disguise

Bm           A*           C#*
So I keep my footlights shining bright

Bm           A*           C#*
just like I keep my exits wide

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
'Cause I never know when it's time to go,

F#            Bm           A*           C#*
it's too crowded now inside

Bm           A*           C#*
The dead can hide beneath the ground

Bm           A*           C#*
and the birds can always fly

Bm           C#*        Bm      C#*
But the rest of us do what we must

F#
in constant compromise

Bm           A*           C#*   X2

G                   Bm
So I have become the Middleman

G                   Bm
The gray areas are fine

D   G          F#     Bm
The "I don't know," the "maybe so"

F#
Is the only real

F#
Is the only true

F#
Is the only real

Bm           A*           C#*
