STARS

from YOU'D PREFER AN ASTRONAUT
 
 
 
 
    Dropped-D tuning (detune low E string to D)
 
    note: this ain't exact; Hum has two guitars, so I've left
          out some stuff, and the rest is my highly subjective
          listening..I haven't included exact number of chord
          strokes, when to hit distortion, etc...use this as
          a starting point and listen to the song for the rest)

 (intro chords)
 
 she thinks she missed the train to mars
 shes out back counting stars
 she thinks she missed the train to mars
 shes out back counting stars

 nothing that she needs
 
 (chorus 1 chords)
 
 i thought she'd be there holding daisies
 she always waits for me
 
 (chorus 2 chords)

 i found her out back sitting naked looking up and looking dead
 a crumpled yellow piece of paper
 seven nines and tens
 
 (chorus 1 chords)
 
 i thought she'd be there holding daisies
 she always waits for me
 
 (chorus 2 chords)
 
 (chorus 1 chords)

Disregard the above attempts at the bridge. Here is the bridge 100% perfect: A|------5-----------7-----------7—9- D|--0-7---7—5—0—5-7---9—7—0—7—9----- OR: D A D2 A G D G A E B A D A B E F# Note: D2, E and F# are all played on A String (5th, 7th, and 9th frets respectively)
