* = play only the first time
There's a lot of other instruments that decorate this song,
and it would take weeks to transcribe all the little melodies
of a Beck song for guitar, but in this song the acoustic guitar
is the driving force.
Here are the chords:
C G A E F C
C G A E F C
C G A E F C
Lazy flies all hovering above
C G A E F C
The magistrate puts on his glove
D G
And he looks to the clouds
F C
All pink and disheveled
Bm C
There must be some blueprint
G F# F C
Some creed of the devil inscribed in our minds
** Chorus:
Am F#m F Am
A hideous game vanishes in the air
Am F#m
The vanity of slaves
F Am
Who wants to be there
G F
To sweep the debris
F C
To harness dead horses
Am G
To ride in the sun
F C
A life of confessions
Am F G#
Written in the dust
Out in the mangroves The mynah birds cry
In the shadows of sulphur The trawlers drift by
They're chewing dried meat
In a house of disrepute
The dust of opiates
And syphylis patients on brochure vacations
** Chorus:
Fear has a glare that traps you like searchlights
The puritans stare
their souls are fluorescent
The skin of a robot
vibrates with pleasure
Matrons and gigolos
carouse in the parlor
Their hand-grenade eyes invalid and blind
** Chorus:
A hideous game vanishes in the air
The vanity of slaves
Who wants to be there
To sweep the debris
To harness dead horses
To ride in the sun
A life of confessions
Written in the dust

The distorted fuzz guitar just plays this:
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-------------3---------------------------|
E|-1-----/---------------------------------|
and after the last ("Written in the dust..")
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|----6\-5------6\-5-----6\-5--------------|
E|-----------------------------------------|
(Solo Verse)
ends on C
