[Verse 1]
D                          Bm                       F#m  A
You`d be surprised if you looked through the eyes a no-va
Em                   G                       Bm Bsus Bm Bsus
not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
D                        Bm                      E
cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a Rover
            G
that is his car
             D                           Bm           F#m    A
You wouldn`t doubt him to shake the most powerful of importance
Em                        G                      Bm Bsus Bm Bsus
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink
    D                                Bm                         E
To jugde from the fence `round his house he must love all his children
               G
That`s what you think
 
[Chorus]
            D
But there`s no time ot think
        A
Have a pill and a shrink
       G*       G   G*  G    D
Just don`t show us how you sweat
                     A
Making love to your kids
                      G*    G      G*  G   D
is the last love that you - will - ev-er - get
          A                  G*    G     G*      G   A
You`re a vanishing image of what - I - thought - I - knew
               F#
But it goes to show
         Bm  A  E     G
That the man I know
 
[Verse 2]
                D                          Bm                       F#m  A
Is kissing that check that he had lifted up for her fortyfirst birhtday
Em                       G                          Bm Bsus Bm Bsus
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
D                        Bm                      E
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
              G
Now dog is a bird
 
[Chorus]
            D
But there`s no time ot think
        A
Have a pill and a shrink
           G*       G   G* G   D
Just don`t show us how you sweat
                     A
Making love to your kids
                      G*    G      G*  G   D
is the last love that you - will - ev-er - get
           A                  G*    G     G*      G   A
You`re a vanishing image of what - I - thought - I - knew
               F#
But it goes to show
         Bm  A  E
That the man I know
      Bm  A  E
Has a fading glow
       Bm   A    E   G
In a white lampshade
 
[Bridge]  (bass only and drums, the last chords are bass-chords)
D                     C#          G           B
Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul
             Bb
Did you protect all the horrible
  A                   Bb                   B
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
                 C       C#  D
What he`s been carrying around
 
Tell me lampshade what is it you are trying to hide
Under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip and be shattered by the shapnell of light
That I`ve been choking on always
 
There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
Sounds like wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if you could
But the chain lets me spit in his face
 
Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it`s neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
 
(a very boosted guitar comes in)
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
But instead I removed his lampshade

 4.+ 5.+ 6.+ 7. Verse:
Here the song breaks down to mainly the bass. Some guitar layers enter in the
6th verse, but they're too hard to hear properly for me to transcribe them.
Here are the chords and the bass line instead:

 Guitar Solo:
Below the guitar solo there is a mess of guitar noise, so again, sorry,
I can't really decipher it exactly.

 LYRICS
**********
You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova
Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover
That is his car
 
You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink
To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children
That's what you think
 
But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ever get
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
But it goes to show
That the man I know ...
 
Is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birthday
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
Now dog is a bird
 
But there's no time to think 
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ever get
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
But it goes to show
That the man I know
has a fading glow
in a white lampshade
 
 
Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul?
Did you protect all the horrible?
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
what he's been carrying around
 
Tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to hide
under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnel of light
that I've been choking on always
 
There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if he could
but the chain lets me spit in his face
 
Like the dog has a chain clinging tied to it's neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
but instead I removed his lampshade
