CHORUS ("...You're going to cover me with your pretty lies...")

CHORUS ("...It's an eigth...etc...heart and intimidation...")

'Bury my heart' repeated at end.

First voice stays on low D, second does "Bur" and "heart" on F and "y my" on 
E, third does "Bur" and "heart" on A and "y my" on G, and a last voice 
can do the high D for "Bur" and "heart" and C for "y my" so it's:


Dm  C/D  Dm
Bur y My Heart

repeated over and over again. This is pretty much a guess and may be an 
approxiamtion of the actual sining or may embellish it. Whatever. You 
might try tuning the low E to D and playing the normal D and then C 
chords over it with the open bass string allowed to ring.

Notes: For the verse, I think the F#m's are sometimes there and sometimes 
not. And listen to the recording for the syncopated strumming pattern. 
It's kooky.
