Then strum this F with the occasional hammer-on on the G and B strings like this
B string hammer on:
e|-0---|B|-0h1-|G|-2---|D|-3---|A|-3---|E|-x---|
G string hammer on:
e|-0---|B|-1---|G|-0h2-|D|-3---|A|-3---|E|-x---|
The song then goes into basic open chords, with the occasional hammer on each chord,
experiment till you get it right
C
The custom concern for the people
Am
Is build up monuments and steeples
G F
To wear out our eyes
C
I get up just about noon
Am
My head sends a message for me to reach for my shoes and then walk
G F
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job
C
He goes through the parking lot fields
Am
Didn't see no signs that they would yield and then thought
G F
This'll never end, this'll never end, this'll never stop
(Interlude: C Am G F)
C
Message read on the bathroom wall says
Am
"I don't feel at all, at all like I fall." and
G
We're losing all our touch, losing all our touch now
F
Building a desert
C
Oh my love were building ourselves a desert
Am
We're building ourselves a desert
F
We're building ourselves a desert
C
We're building ourselves a desert
Am
We're building ourselves a desert
F
We're building ourselves a desert
End on C :)
