Verse 1
This is just an acoustic version from a show Beck performed on KCRW.
[E] [D] [G] [A]
[D]If [G]I could [Bm]hold, hold out for now
[D][G]With these icecaps [Bm]melting down
[D][G]With the[Bm] transistor sound
[D][G]And my Chevrolet [Bm]terraplane
[E]Going around around around
[D]Come[G] on [A]little [E]gamma ray
[D]Standing [G]in a [A][E]hurricane
[D]Your brains are bored like a [G]refugee from a [A]house that's burning
[D]And [G]the [A]heat wave's calling your name
[Bm-E-G-D-G] She's [Bm]got a cactus crown
[D]With a dot [G]dot [Bm]dot on her brow
[D]And she speaks[G] [Bm]inside a cloud
[D]With[G] her countenance turning [Bm]around around around around around[E]
[D]Come on little[G] [A]gamma ray[E]
[D]Standing in [G]a [A]hurricane[E]
[D]I'm pulling out thorns
[G]Smokestack [A]lightning[E] out my window
[D]I [G]want to know what I've lost today
[D]Come[G] [A]on [E]little gamma ray
[D]Standing[G] in a [A]hurricane[E]
He starts picking here, but I didn't really have time to figure it all out.
I
think the song sounds fine without, but tab it out if you have the time.
[D]Your body's bored
[G]Like a [A]refugee [E]from a house that's burning
[D]And the [G]backwater's calling your name
