DROPPED TUNING: C-G-C-F-A-c
 
Both E strings are tuned down to C, all other strings down a full tone.
Using a chromatic tuner makes this much easier and more accurate.
It's not advisable for very light gauge strings,
as the low C in particular will be quite slack and may rattle.
A very light touch is required for strumming or picking,
as this low tuning will go out of tune much more quickly than standard.
 
This is basically a double dropped D tuning D-A-D-G-B-d taken down a
further tone, so all the chord shapes would still work playing in D
if you wished, but you would be singing it a tone higher than Beck does.
 
Although the chord names sound complicated, there are just a few very simple
chord shapes to learn to achieve that hypnotic 'sitar-like' sound.

[Verse 1]
C5                       Cmaj7(no3)     C5                C7(no3) C7sus2
      Treated you like a rusty blade, a throwaway from an open    grave,
Eb6sus2                      Dm7              C5          Cmaj7(no3)
        Cut you loose from a chain -gang, and let you go,
C5                     Cmaj7(no3)      C5               C7(no3)   C7sus2
    And on the day you said it's true, some love holds, some gets used,
Eb6sus2                     Dm7                 C5
        Tried to tell you I never knew it could be so sweet
 
[Verse 2]
Ab                 Gm11  Gm
    Who could ever be so cruel?
F5                      Eb6sus2    Dm7  Gadd4   G4  Gadd4
Blame the devil for the things you do---------,
C5                       C7sus2
     It's such a selfish way to lose,
    Eb6sus2             Dm7                C5
The way you lose these wasted blues, these wasted blues
 
[Chorus]
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own
 
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7(no3) C5                   Cmaj7(no3)   C5              C7(no3)  C7sus2
              When the moon is a counterfeit better find the one that fits,
Eb6sus2                 Dm7                 C5          Cmaj7(no3)
        Better find the one that lights the way for you,
C5                   Cmaj7(no3)     C5                 C7(no3)  C7sus2
    When the road is full of nails, garbage pails, and darkened jails,
Eb6sus2                               Dm7                  C5
        And their tongues are full of heartless tales that drain on you
 
[Verse 4]
Ab                 Gm11   Gm       F5          Eb6sus2 Dm7  Gadd4   G4 Gadd4
    Who would ever notice you, and fade into a shaded  room------?
C5                     C7sus2
    It's such a selfish way to lose,
    Eb6sus2             Dm7                C5
The way you lose these wasted blues, these wasted blues
 
[Chorus]
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own,
                  C9sus4          Dm7             C5
Tell me that it's nobody's fault, nobody's fault, but my own
