Call It What You Will Chords & Lyrics by Larry and His Flask
Call It What You Will
guitar chords lyrics
This was the only song I had any trouble figuring out on my own because of the unusual
chords and progression, so I decided to go ahead and make an account and put this up.
A few notes:
>I'm not sure if the G is always played as a dominant seventh chord, but the two are
pretty interchangable anyway.
>The Em is always played as an Am shaped bar chord on the 7th fret and the Am that
comes after it is played on the 5th fret, while the C before the Em is easiest to play on
the 8th fret or the 3rd fret as a bar chord. If the Am follows the E major then you
just play a regular open E and Am.
>On the diminished chord, if you keep your fingers in the same shape but move your
fingers up 3 frets every beat you get that cool ascending arpeggiated chord sound they do
on that measure.
>The walk up part right before the second verse is a G7 arpeggio. If you can't play
it just keep playing the G7 until the verse.
Intro:
C Cdim
C Em Am
E Dm
G7
Verse:
C Cdim
Come get your hands on it brother (my brother)
C Em Am
the chance won't come again, (no no no)
E Dm
Follow your neighbors lead get everything a man could need
G7
with a card in the palm of your hand
C Cdim
Come get your hands on your mother
C Em Am
everything must go, (no no no)
E Dm
Fur coats, and diamond rings, and giant plasma tv screens.
G7
You owe it to yourself don't you know?
E Am
(repeat E and Am once per line for the next 3 lines)
so put your faith in the plastic my friend,
your dreams are a swipe away.
Don't you worry where the bounty comes from
G7
if you do it might haunt you one day
Chorus:
F Fm C C7
When the sun comes up and it's burning in the sky
F Fm G7
Rest assured that it's dark on the other side
Verse:
C Cdim
The stores are boarding up their windows
C Em Am
as the shopping malls cave in
E Dm
everything in chaos now, someone screaming tell me how can
G7
we spend our money my friend
C Cdim
I tell em go build a castle,
C Em Am
lock it up real tight
E Dm
with nothing left to consume can't you see we're clearly doomed
G7
and the world just might hear tonight
Half Time:
E Am (repeat)
recession, depression call it what you will,
we're the victims of our own greed.
With cheaters for leaders our own empty dreams
G7
will come back as nightmares ..
Even halfier time:
Dm E Am
G F
But there's a clearing in the fog that might just be hope up ahead
Dm E Am G
D7/F#(or just D/F#)
If we hurry, there's a chance, we could make it through to the end
Dm G7
So tell me my friends was it worth what you spent?
Instrumental Break:
C Am (x3)
G7
Chorus:
F Fm C C7
When the sun comes up and it's burning in the sky
F Fm G7
Rest assured that it's dark on the other side, side side.
The end is those crazy G7 arpeggios ascending followed by a C arpeggio descending.
Good luck!
