Down Boy by Yeah Yeah Yeahs





                      Down Boy







standard tuning


No fame
All there is
All there was
On the second lady
Can't take a cent
Take a cut of that
Kind of ran
I'll stand kind of pushed
Kind of bent
On that heavy land
I'll stand for the sake of my friend
I will see him there

Verse 2:
The same, not begin, not give up, in a better way
Again, wash the stain off his bed not to split them off
I'll stand for the sake of my friends, I will see him there
Well I will see him there

Just repeat chorus I and II and changing bits here and there for the second time.
It’s easy to figure out because it’s the same chords like the Em chord plays in between 
break and then the whole thing starts over again.
