[Intro]
/ A - - - / - - - - / G - - - / C - - - / x2
 
[Verse]
A               (G)
I saw her, yeah I saw her
            C                       A
With a black tongue tied round the roses
A                                      (G)
A fist pounding on a vending machine
 C                         A
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
A
With a noose she could hang from the sun
       G                            C
And point it out with the dark sunglasses
A
Walking crooked down the beach
         G                                      C
She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching
 
[Chorus]
E             G                                      D (2)
   And I know I'm gonna steal her eye--she doesn't even know it's wrong
E                 G                                    D (2)
   And you know I'm gonna make it die--take her where her soul belongs
E      G                                       F#m     F
   I know I'm gonna steal her eye--        nothing that I wouldn't try
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
 
A               (G)
  I saw her, yeah I saw her
               C                            A
With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'
A                                    (G)
   Calling out from a land-filled life
     C                             A
Scrawling her name upon the ceiling
A
   Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
G                       C
White noise, her ears are ringing
A
   Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
G                                    C
   Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
 
[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
 
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

if this one is incorrect the other version is too, cos these are the same chords but played with capo, which i was just thinkin while i was playin the other version,.. it's easier and it let your finger rest a little.. playin all the time Bb C# and G# gets a bit tiring for the fingers. well, i give it 5 stars anyway. i love this song!

intermediate? just by looking at it doesn't seem so.

sounds pretty good to me, certainly easier than all the barre chords, especially for us beginners. However, some of the second chords in the verses are timed wrong. No big deal if you know the song by heart, but throws you off the first few times.
