BECK - Girl
 
Capo 1
 
 
[Intro] (Bass/Synth)
 
A A  A  A A A  A  G G  G G G  C  C C  A  x2
 
[Verse 1]
         A
I saw her, yea I saw her
         G
 With a black tongue tied
C
Round the roses a
A                  G
fist pounding on a vending machine
C
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
A          (bass enters)
With a noose she could hang from the sun
     G                  C
And put it out with the dark sunglasses
 A
Walking crooked down the beach
       G
She spits in the sand
            C
Where their bones are bleaching
 
[Pre-chorus]
E        G                         D
   And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
D                                E
She doesn't even know it's wrong
E        G                          D
 And you know I'm gonna make it die
D                                E
 Take her where her soul belongs
E   G                            D
    Know I'm gonna steal her eye
C
 Nothing that I wouldn't try
 
[Chorus]
E          D           A
    Hey    My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
    Hey    My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
           My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
    Hey    My sun eyed girl
 
[Verse 2]
A
 I saw her, yea I saw her
G
 With her hands tied back
C
 Her rags are burnin'
A                   G
 Calling out from a land filled life
C
 Scrawling her name up on the ceiling
A                    G
 Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
C
 White noise, her ears are ringing
A                    G
 Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
C
 Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
 
[Pre-chorus]
E        G                         D
   And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
D                                E
She doesn't even know it's wrong
E          G                       D
   And you know I'm gonna make it die
D                                E
 Take her where her soul belongs
E   G                            D
    Know I'm gonna steal her eye
C
 Nothing that I wouldn't try
 
[Chorus]
E          D            A
   Hey     My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
   Hey     My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
           My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
   Hey     My sun eyed girl
 
(Slide Solo)
 
[Chorus]
E          D            A
  Hey      My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
  Hey      My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
           My sun eyed girl
E          D            A
  Hey      My sun eyed girl

Really good, but I have a few corrections that I personally think sound better while singing along: I believe the verses are C instead of D. The pre-chorus is right, but I think Its a C at the end as he sings "Nothing that I wouldn't try". Lastly, during the chorus, I think its E-D-A... Maybe I'm wrong! Just thought id give my two cents. P.S. - Barring w/ intervolving palm mutes during the verses makes it so when you go open during the chorus, it punches it up, especially if playing it purely acoustic w/ no backing.

Sweet man, thx
