MGMT - Song for Dan Treacy Chords by Ryan McGrath 100% transcribed by me. Please inform me of any mistakes, however I don't think there are any, if at all. Lyrics taken from - http://artists.letssingit.com/mgmt-lyrics-song-for-dan-treacy-lbb1ddp - and slightly edited for grammar and corrections. Chords are listed as regular or flat, never sharp, for ease of playing. This is regardless of key. Examples of chords and their notations: D = D major F# = G flat major Em = E minor F#m = G flat minor Cdim. = C diminished Bbdim. = B flat diminished Part A (0:00 - 0:22) D F#m He spends his time G or maybe half of his time Bbdim. or part of the time wandering D F#m Em 'round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes D F#m with a tear in his eye G Bbdim. as the children walk by, he's thinking of a song D F#m Em then stops to paint a picture of a frown F# F walking around Part B (0:23 - 0:40) Em Cm Gm F# F Em Cm Gm F# F Em Part A (0:41 - 1:02) D F#m Dan Treacy's smile G Bbdim. leaves you trying to decide who's the victim, what's the crime? D no rest for the mind F#m Em that's seen it all before D F#m and I don't know where he lives G but he's a myth of a man Bbdim. and Texas Bob the cameraman D F#m Em is off to fix his seat before the show F# F yeah, but where did he go? Part B (1:03 - 1:14) Em Cm Gm F# F Em Cm Gm F# F Part C (1:15 - 1:32) C#m A To know when your time's up B E Abm Bm you flip the glass and watch the hours quickening A Am oh oh oh oh oh C#m A In the back of the station B E Abm Bm fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering Part D (1:33 - 1:42) A Well he speaks his mind B he says "What is crime?" Bm Dan Treacy's eyes Part A (1:43 - 2:01) Note: The chords from "In the middle..." to "...lark" are not actually played in the song, but for things like acoustic covers I thought it might be helpful to include them, so I did. D F#m In the middle of the park G when the underground is dark, Bbdim. he's a poet he's a lark D F#m Em He starts thinking about a place that no one knows D F#m And when the creeks run dry G he stays frozen in time Bbdim. strange lights in the sky D start blinking F#m I can see the car outside Part E (2:02 - 2:11) Em But he's listening, ooh ooh ooh ooh Abm he's listening, ooh ooh ooh Bm he's listening, ahh ahh ahh A and he's making up his mind Part C (2:12 - 3:09) Note: The lyrics and instrumentation of this second Part C are different, however the chords remain the same. C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm A Am to get things done and overcome C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm A Am yeah he's gonna let it go C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm A Am in the park and at the station C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm A Am yeah, he's gonna get it done C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm A Am ooh yeah he's gonna get it done C#m A He made his mind up B E Abm Bm Part F (3:10 - 4:09) A B yeah, he's gonna let it go, uh oh F#m no matter the time B oh oh F#m when the creeps run by B oh no F#m he's making his mind up B oh oh oh oh F#m B yeah he's gonna get it done whoa oh F#m B oh yeah, when the creeks run dry whoa oh F#m B yeah, he's gonna listen to his soul, F#m yeah, when the creeps walk by and say Cdim. "Come here boy, look me in the eye" bow to the heart, back to the beat of E Dan Treacy
