This is an amazing song off of Beck's new album, "Guero" - one of his finest works.
Timing is tricky in the beginning, I suggest you listen to the song to get the rhythm
down.
 
Also recommend capo 1 to play it in A instead of Bb.
 
 
[Verse 1]
Bb          Ab
I saw her, yeah I saw her
       Db                Bb
With a black tongue tied round the roses
Bb                   Ab
A fist pounding on a vending machine
Db               Bb
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
Bb
With a noose she could hang from the sun
    Ab                  Db
And put it out with the dark sunglasses
Bb
Walking crooked down the beach
    Ab                            Db
She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F     Ab
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
Eb                           F
She doesn't even know what's wrong
        Ab
And you know I'm gonna make it die
Eb                        F
Take her where her soul belongs
Ab                         Gm
Know I'm gonna steal her eye
Gb
Nothing that I wouldn't try 
 
 
[Chorus]
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   My sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   my sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
      My sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   my sun-eyed girl
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bb          Ab
I saw her, yeah I saw her
         Db                   Bb
With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'
Bb                       Ab
Calling out from a landfilled life
Db                    Bb
Scrawling her name up on the ceiling
Bb
Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
Ab               Db
White noise, her ears are ringing
Bb
Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
Ab                    Db
Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F     Ab
And I know I'm gonna steal her eye
Eb                           F
She doesn't even know what's wrong
        Ab
And you know I'm gonna make it die
Eb                         F
Take her where her soul belongs
Ab                         Gm
Know I'm gonna steal her eye
Gb
Nothing that I wouldn't try 
 
 
[Chorus]
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   My sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   my sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
      My sun-eyed girl
F  Eb             Bb
Hey   my sun-eyed girl
