Together Well Ring In The New Year by Motion City Soundtrack
Together Well Ring In The New Year
Capo: 1st fret
First chord chart I've put out in a while.
Capo on 1 to match the key of the song (you can move the capo anywhere else to
work with your voice)
This song sounds real good fingerpicked to these chords in my opinion.
Here's a transcription of the pattern I usually use for the verse (and fingerings for chords).
This pattern just repeats until you get to the Emin before the chorus.

Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Welcome to the new year.
G Gmaj7/B
The drinks were consumed,
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
the plants were destroyed, and the hors d'oeuvres dismantled.
G Gmaj7/B
I'm not smiling
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
behind this fake veneer.
G Gmaj7/B
I am often interrupted
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
or completely ignored,
Emin Fmaj7
but most of all I'm bored.
G Cadd9 D
I'm trying to find out
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Fmaj7
if my words have any meaning.
G Cadd9 D Cadd9
Lackluster and full of contempt
G Cadd9 Fmaj7
when it always ends the same.
Emin F
Why won't she listen to me?
G Gmaj7/B
Why did I come?
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Oh, why did I come here?
G Gmaj7/B
These humans all suck.
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I'd rather be home feeling violent and lonely.
G Gmaj7/B Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I'm not trying to sound so insincere,
G Gmaj7/B
but the postcard that's taped to the freezer reads:
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
"Wish you were here."
Emin Fmaj7
How I wish I could disappear.
G Cadd9 D
I'm trying to find out
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Fmaj7
if my words have any meaning.
G Cadd9 D Cadd9
Lackluster and full of contempt
G Cadd9 Fmaj7
when it always ends the same.
G Cadd9 D Cadd9
Heads up Damage Control,
G Cadd9 Fmaj7
there's a ring around her finger.
G Cadd9 D Cadd9
Last chance for changing lanes,
G Cadd9 Fmaj7
and you missed it by a mile.
Emin F
Why won't she listen to me?
G Gmaj7/B
This must be it.
Cadd9 G
Welcome to the new year.

The plants were destroyed and the hor'deurves dismantled
I'm not smiling behind this fake veneer

Lackluster and full of contempts when it always ends the same

Oh why did I come here

I'm not trying to sound so insincere

goes for all chords played exculding the verses)
