THE GOLDEN AGE - words and music by Beck
**from the album "Sea Change"
[Intro]
E F#m A E
The melody at the beginning and end:
e|---4-7-4-0---0---0------|
B|-----------2------------|
G|---------------2---1----|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
[Verse]
E F#m
Put your hands on the wheel
A E F#m A
Let the golden age begin
E F#m
Let the window down
A E F#m A
Feel the moonlight on your skin
E F#m
Let the desert wind
A E F#m A
Cool your aching head
E F#m
let the weight of the world
A E F#m A
Drift away instead
[Chorus]
D A F#m A E F#m
Oh These days I barely get by
A E F#m A
I don't even try
[Verse]
E F#m
It's a treacherous road
A E F#m A
With a desolated view
E F#m
There's distant lights
A E F#m A
But here they're far and few
E F#m
And the sun don't shine
A E F#m A
Even when it's day
E F#m
You gotta drive all night
A E F#m A
Just to feel like you're OK
[Chorus]
D A F#m A E F#m
Oh These days I barely get by
A E F#m
I don't even try
A E F#m A
I don't even try
E F#m A E

Pretty sure the little riff is more like:
e4 - e7 - e4 - open e
B2 - open e - G2 - open e - G1
Just sounds more true to the recording to me.
If you want to play it higher up it would be:
e16 - e19 - e16 - e12
B14 - e12 - G14 - e12 - G13

It's only: the window down, the desert wind and the weight of the world; there's no "let" except for in the second line, then it's still "let the golden age begin".

"The Melissa Chord" is what I call that F#
