Beady Eyes On The Horizon by Jukebox the Ghost
Beady Eyes On The Horizon
Capo:no capo
Standard tuning
All chords should really be played as barre chords, but let's face it, those
are
uncomfortable and are really only necessary when a Cm or Gsus4 chord is coming
up.

G Bm
There's a dead man hanging,
C
slumped over the steering wheel
G Bm C
of an interstate runaway bursting into flames.
G Bm
And the devil was gently breathing,
C
sleeping face-down in my apartment,
G Bm C
and like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games.
G Bm
And there's a homeless man arranging his hands,
Em C
grooving to the beat radiating from a police scanner.
G Bm
He said "The air was feeling good to me,
Em C
as cool and ripe as air can be."
G Bm
And a woman who sincerely believes
Em C
in UFOs (UFOs) - you can blame her when the stars are hanging
G Bm
overhead, dangling by a thread,
Em Cm
floating ten thousand feet off the ground.
G Gaug
This was the story told to me
Em Gaug
when I was just the age of seventeen;
G Gaug
one which God himself dictated to me,
C (staccato)
He said, "This is how all this shit's gonna be,
G Gaug Em Gaug
when I blow your little planet into smithereens (smithereens)
G Gaug Em Gaug
Blow your little planet into smithereens"
G Gaug
It haunted my dreams
Em C
like an accident on replay
G Gaug Em Gaug
on a TV screen.
Cm G
She sees faces in her dreams;
Em
strange machines she'd never seen.
G
Blueprints of submarines
Em
to reassemble in a time of dire need (dire need).
G
And there were preachers in the desert,
Em
waving to the crowd,
G
dictating seven angry letters
Em
from a man up in the clouds
G
And there were twenty-seven soldiers
Bm
telling twenty-seven lies,
Em
and a hole inside a hurricane
Cm
with a pair of beady eyes.
G Gaug
A pair of beady eyes looking down
Em Cm
onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round.
G Gaug
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down,
Em C (staccato) Cm-Cm
because the Sun is just a supernova turned the other way around!
G Bm C
G Bm C
G Bm
There were strangers in the subway and men in limousines
C
making deals and swapping photographs of cans of gasoline.
G Bm
There are no angels in the woodwork or devils on the ground;
C
They're looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of sound.
G Bm
And the man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around
C
she's looking in behind him from inside a wall of sound
G Bm
and she is dancing with the neon 'cause the air is feeling good
C Cm
against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the distance
G Bm
in the spaces in between me and you and all your friends;
C Cm
and there's no time to load a weapon; no time to make amends.
G Bm
And people frozen in their tracks stand staring at the sky,
C Cm
at a hole inside a hurricane revealing...
Cm
A pair of beady eyes!
G Gaug
A pair of beady eyes looking down
Em C
onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round.
G Gaug
Because they all want a front seat when shit starts going down,
Em Cm
because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around!
G (crazy piano solo)
G Cm-Cm
This is not a test, this is the real thing...
G Cm
This is not a test, this is the real thing.
