For the picking parks, the thicker pick you use, the better it sounds.
I’ve probably made this tab in a way that it’s difficult to understand, but it’s all here.

Post Chorus

All you need to rememeber is that Riff one is played with Am, C, and F
and Riff 2 is always played with G

You’re going to take what you can get
a hammered styrofoam
beat into the West
live the highway in your home
you’re going to get what you deserve
and not a penny less
concrete the natural absurd
only killers call killing progress

Chorus(only bass)

Fall on me
Black Helicopter
they’re all I see
Black Helicopters

You’re going to take what you can get
food aid rock and roll
absolution for your head
for Xbox, COINTELPRO
you’re going to get what you deserve
and not a bullet less
hey Sammy, ain’t you heard?
only killers call killing progress

Chorus(only bass)

Fall on me
Black Helicopter
they’re all I see
Black Helicopters

Here?s the Bright End of Nowhere, here?s the results of all our days

Used to lay on the roof and drink beer, And try and count up all the
Ways, That you could waste away
Looking back it seemed so simple, but having done it I couldn?t say

[G/F#]
The lights are out baby, And I?m a m[G/F#]ouse,

The lights are out baby, so here m[G/F#]e out,

The lights are out baby, And I?m a[G/F#] mouse,

Go on vacations and drink beer, And try and forget all the
Ways, We let ourselves get away,
Looking back it seemed so simple, but having done it I couldn?t say

[G/F#]

The lights are out baby, And I?m a m[G/F#]ouse,

The lights are out baby, so here m[G/F#]e out,

When Hollywood runs out of indians
When the bar stars melt and their golden hair turns to glass
When Hollywood runs out of indians
When the bubble bursts and first and come for by the last
There’s something in the way you move
That makes me catch a cold
There’s something in your ‘too cool for school’
When you slide up and down my pole
There’s something in the way you look
That only casts a shadow
When Hollywood runs out of Indians
Only the Indians will know

A kick in the head, pass it around
Begging for a bed, pass it around

And I’d say what you’d say but it makes me feel nothing
There’s a car waiting to take me to something
At the end of my rope, there’s a new world, it’s snowing
The globe it starts shaking, was it me not worth knowing?
The white coats are melting to snow down the mountains
To process the rivers for hallways, and fountains
And I’d say what you’d say but it makes me feel nothing
So there’s a man waiting to take me to something
That I’m ‘for’, that I’m ‘for'

Hell, it looks red in all it’s pictures
My sister’s sing laments while their skin blisters

Halleluiahs are for down on the floor
Nobody goes above decks, no not no more
They say the sun is still shining, that you can feel it in your core
But I ain’t seen nobody move that weren’t going for the door

(Solo)

And I’d say what you’d say but it makes me feel nothing
There’s a car waiting to take me to something
At the end of my rope, there’s a new world, it’s snowing
The globe it starts shaking, was it me not worth knowing?
The white coats are melting to snow down the mountains
To process the rivers for hallways, and fountains
And I’d say what you’d say but it makes me feel nothing
So there’s a man waiting to take me to something
That I’m ‘for’, that I’m ‘for'

Outro Chords: It’s possible the little eb string is tuned down half a step to a D,
and on that little string there is a hammer on from 0 to 1. The song may be tuned like this
the whole song but it’s not necessary.

Sunshine, don’t you mind them
Lie for me now, smile for me now
Sometimes my feet don’t touch the ground
When you come around

The Devil’s in your details
The Devil’s in your details

My feet don’t touch the ground
When you come around
sunshine Don’t you mind them
Lie for me now, smile for me now

Intro: Am C G F

On nights like tonight when no one’s around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren’t nothing painful

Carry me Mother Mary, I’m faithless
Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven

On nights like tonight when no one’s around
I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
Truth be told I don’t know

Who’s at the helm
But just sit tight
I’ll make my way to you
I’ll make my way to you

Instrumentals: Am C G F

If I’m not on time
Remember that I tried

Carry me Mother Mary, I’m faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It’s all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven

On nights like tonight when no one’s around
I turn off the lights and I float off the ground
And I smile like I used to when you were around
But truth be told I don’t know

Who’s at the helm
Just sit tight
I’ll make my way to you
I’ll find a way to get to you

Instrumental

I don’t know
Who’s at the helm
But just sit tight
And I’ll find a way to get to you

[G-A-C-F]
Well there ain’t nothing to this but your daughter
and the life you would not give her break your plans
traipsed across the continent a squatter
for your lies at night to sleep between my hands

When the lights come on this whole place gets ugly
but when they’re out strangers fall in love
she could never say that flat out she don’t want me
cause I could never say that half way ain’t enough

New Order’s on the turn table we’re dancing
cause what else do you do when you don’t talk?
crucified to crawl into your mansion
Ya, that’s why I learned to crawl before I walked

We’re back where we belong
straight back where we belong
no days for nights, no cocaine cons
just back where we belong

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/matthew_good/born_losers_crd.html )
Take me out back to your piranhas
And beat me until I can't even stand
your whole life a plane without no landing gear
so if this is it then come on let me land

That trailer trash pedigree is calling
it rats you out when you're down on all fours
me I like to cast my death on yesterday
cause what doesn’t kill us now just makes us better whores

We’re back where we belong
straight back where we belong
no days for nights, no cocaine cons
just back where we belong

#Guitar 2:

Hey midnight
Turn on your lights
Roll out your stars
Roll out your stars
I look tired
But I, I feel wired
And my body hums
Like it’s coming undone
Don’t you lie to me
Nothing’s already what it seems
And even you can spot the fool
Odette
Make me forget what I’ve done
What I’ve become
Don’t want to be so wide awake
Don’t want to be so wide awake
I see just how you take
Don’t want to be so wide awake
(pluck notes within these chords:)
Hey midnight
Turn on your lights
Roll out your stars
Roll out your stars

Tuned one-half step down:

Verse:

It feels like time to let it go…

It feels like time to break or show…

Etc., until:

Just black out, wake up foreign and wander home[G/F#]

…I`ll wander home

Chorus:

Take me out, lay me down, let the dirt fall all around

They`re burning futures in the mountains, all lit up yeah you can

count yours baby, aint it good to be back home

Hope this helps!

Chords Used Em,C,D,G,F#

Intro: Em C D G F#

Buy in it’ll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
We’ve brought someone in to shut you up
It’s a life’s work
G F# x2

While we were hunting rabbits

I came upon a clear

The sky its stars like fortune drilled me

Until now I was a soldier

Until now I dealt in fear

These years of cloak and dagger

Have left us disappeared

And I dance and I sing

And I’m a monkey in a long line

Buy in it’ll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up
We’ve brought someone in to shut you up
And it’s getting to be light work

While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune filled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared

And I dance and I sing
And I’m a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we’re all monkeys in a long line

I’m just a boat on the ocean
And I’m just a ship lost at sea
