I noticed there wasn't ANY Spoonboy on the site! So I decided to add my tab of this song. (:
This should be pretty spot on, all chords are barre.
Only trick to remember is that the G chord is played on the 10th fret during the intro
and whenever there is no lyrics, but played on the 3rd fret with the rest of the song.
The strumming throughout the song is really straight forward and the
intro bit is a little trickier but easy to pick up if you listen to the song.

I consider it fortune, things like how I wasnt taught at a young age to

respect my elders.

I thank goodness for my absence of a father.

I could have learned to wield my body as a weapon.

If our fathers were our role models for god and they failed us,
DGEA
what does that tell us about our supposed omnipotent savior?
GE
Except were all born to fiction, daily recreated
DGE
we play the roles from the stories we learned as kids.
A
Who bends down? Who plays god?

Is it fated that every boy on this earth should have his head stuck up his ass?
