Capo 3
All of the chords in brackets are optional. Kevin often plays them in his live performances.
The chords are pretty straightforward. Just to make things easier...
B/F# is 332010
A#/F is 224442
B/A# is x20010 (It's just a bass walk down from B to Am)
B/F# D#m
Your crooked days come bundled up in bunches
E B/F# A#/F
break your brain like a branch
B/F# D#m
