IMPORTANT:
Before I start transcribing this song I must say this. If anyone has
got the Beck song 'Feather In Your Cap' off the SubUrbia Soundtrack
album in MP3 format PLEASE PLEASE let me know. I can't get the CD
and I've only heard a bit of this song but it's GREAT. If you have
the cd please make a mp3 file and let me know, I will be ETERNALLY
grateful. I have loads of mp3's myself that I can let you have
in exchange.

VERSE 1:
--------
D        A        G        C           D
  Cold brains, unmoved, untouched, unglued
 A        G    Gsus4 G
Alone at last,
D       A          G        C      D
  No thoughts, no mind, to rot, behind
  A          G       G7
A trail of disasters


CHORUS:
-------
A         D       F        A
  A final curse, abandoned hearse
           D         F            E
We ride disowned, corroded to the bone


The instrument you hear in the chorus is a
glockenspiel. I transcribed this from the second chorus, not the
first, and I think it's a tiny bit different, but it took me ages
to transcribe the second chorus and I haven't got time to do
the first one too. Anyway, I'm a guitar transcriber, not some
stupid glockenspiel transcriber. So here it is:

    A                             D              F

B|-----------------------------------------------13--12-----------

D|--11--12--14-11--12--14-11--12----------------------------------

  E                                                              D

D--------------------------------12--14------12--11--14-------------|
A--------------------------------------------------------12--14--12-|
E-------------------------------------------------------------------|



VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
The fields, of green, are bent, obscene,
I lay upon the gravel
A worm, of hope, a hangmans rope
pulls me one way or the other


CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
A final curse, abandoned hearse
We ride disowned, corroded to the bone


HARMONICA-SOLO:
---------------
Play over verse chords


[there is some picking in the third verse but it's impossible
 to hear it clearly so I can't transcribe it. Just pick out
 notes from the chords]

VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
A bird, of song, is heard, no longer
In the evacuated heavens
The drain, is drawn, and drained, and gone
and on and on it doesn't matter


CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
A final curse, abandoned hearse
We ride disowned, corroded to the bone


OUTRO:
------
Play verse chords with harmonica playing over them.
