Civilian by Wye Oak - Guitar Chords

Version 1

            Capo on 4th 
Em* = fingers at the 2nd fret of the bottom two strings, with hammer ons to the bottom e string
if this doesn't sound right just use a normal Em chord.

hammer-ons are littered throughout the song, most are progressive to building the 
chord, so just flow on  with the chord progressions. 

Chord progression is Em* - Dsus2 - Am - C


[Verse]

I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults 
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them


[Chorus]

I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me,
My jewelry, and my baby teeth

[Verse]

I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with them
Perfectly able to hold my own hand,
But I still can't kiss my own neck


[Chorus]

I wanted yo give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mother did
Civilian, civilian.


[Solo]

(to finish, basic Am scale progression with big distortion, just wing it)
