The Malcontent


hello, this is the chord progression for the song "Malcontent" by Fastball as played in their Real Magic TV performance with the exception of the solo section which I couldn't quite figure out. From this the song's picking and strumming patterns should be easy to figure out. Also of note, this song is played in standard tuning with a capo on the third Fret. Em Am I hear the ringing of the telephone, B7 C G No one's home, and none of you can reach me B7 Em i'm alone and I feel fine. Em Am There's nothing anyone could sell to me, B7 C G there's nothing new, and none of can teach me B7 Em but i'm sure that you will try. Am Em i'm tired of living in the modern world, B7 Em with pretty boys and plastics girls C G B7 broken hearts, vanity's a disease. Em Am I hear my music on the radio. B7 C What's that song from long ago? G They're still playing it. B7 Em is it saying anything to you? Em Am Pretty people in the magazines. B7 C They play part of Kings and Queens. G Hair and make up B7 Em can cover up the ulgy truth. [chorus] B7 Em it really doesn't mean a thing to me. B7 Em It really doesn't mean a thing to me. [solo] [chorus] [Verse 1] [chorus] B7 Em it really doesn't mean a thing to me. B7 Em It really doesn't mean a thing to me. B7 Em It really doesn't mean a thing to me.
