The Airborne Toxic Event – Missy chords

This is my personal favorite song by my personal favorite band. I encourage you to buy 
their stuff.

Some other tabs have said capo on the 5th, I use it on the 4th. I'll leave it up to you 
which sounds better.

**********THIS IS A HUGE PART OF GETTING THIS TO SOUND RIGHT****************For lack of a better term, I'll refer to this as C7, but I know it's not. Simply play a C, but lift your first finger. Whatever the hell it is, play it like this:C7e|--0--|B|--0--|G|--0--|D|--2--|A|--3--|E|--0--|

Together the verse line will be:
C C7 Am G

That being said, here it is:

C         C7      Am      GMissy got off the bus one day
     C          C7        Am     GIn a crowded depot in downtown L.A.
    C        C7      Am    G        FShe looked around as if to say "I'm home"
          CBut I'm home.
       C           C7            Am       GI find someone to love and some place to drink
         C        C7          Am       GAnd some time when I can just sit and think
       C         C7    Am       G               FAnd I don't mind if I catch the stink of these drones
               CLord of these drones
        F                   GSaid as long as I'm never alone
F     C


C               C7     Am         GShe had eyes as big as porceline plates
    C       C7       Am    GAnd skin as thin as paper drapes
        C         C7             Am        G     FAnd she loved the lord the way an apostate loves songs
F     C
          C       C7             Am       GAnd she'd sing to him before she went to sleep
   C       C7     Am      G"I pray to you my soul to keep
     C       C7       Am       G           FYour shepard and I'll be your sheep until dawn
         COh until dawn"
          F                              C G F CShe said "I'd follow you even if it was wrong"


C             C7           Am      GI met her one night at the coffee shop
    C        C7      Am           GHer face so wide my heart just stopped
   C     C7     Am       G           FHello my dear I fear I'm not what I seem
                CI'm not what I seem
   C        C7     Am     GI should've been a better man
  C          C7     Am       GI should be more deserving than
    C        C7        Am     G         FThe beggar, thief, and courtesan I've been
              COh that I've been
F                                        C G F CBut I swear, I lie, I curse all of my dreams


       C            C7         Am      GBut I swear there's still some good in me
       C         C7     Am         GIf you stuck around I think you'd see
         C        C7          Am      G         FAll the honest attempts at integrity I've been had

C             C7                Am     GMaybe if you helped me I could get it right
  C     C7  Am    GI lie awake every night
C              C7       Am             G        FStaring at the cieling wondering why I feel so bad
               CWhy I feel so bad
F                                             C G F CBut I swear, I swear, I swear I'll never get sad


End on C


That's about it. If it doesn't sound right, you're probably playing a real C7 instead of 
lifting your first finger. Hope this helped.
