Verse: Am C F Gold teeth and a curse for this town C G Were all in my mouth C F Am G Only I don't know how they got out, dear Am C F Turn me back into the pet C G I was when we met C F Am G I was happier then with no mind set Chorus: G C And if you'd a took to me like F C G a gull takes to the wind G C Well, I'd a jumped from my tree F C F C And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores F C G And the rest of our lives would'a fared well Verse: Am C F New slang when you notice the stripes C G The dirt in your fries C F Hope it's right when you die Am G Old and bo..ny Am C F Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall C G Never should'a called C F But my heads to the wall Am G And I'm lonely Chorus: G C And if you'd a took to me like F C G a gull takes to the wind G C Well, I'd a jumped from my tree F C F C And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores F C G And the rest of our lives would'a fared well Verse: Am C F God speed all the baker's at dawn C G May they all cut their thumbs C F And bleed into their buns Am G 'Till they melt away Chorus: G C I'm looking in on the good life F G I might be doomed never to find C Without a trust or flaming fields F G Am I too dumb to refine? C And if you'd a took to me like F C F C Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores F C G And the rest of our lives would'a fared well This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

4 ukulele chords used in "New Slang" by The Shins: Am, C, F and G
Love this song, but it’s missing:
Intro
3x Am C F C G C Am G
Am C F G C Am G C
Outro
2x Am C F C G C Am G
C
There’s one part missing from the tab for every version of this song I’ve found. There are two solo sections – one around 2:00, and one between the last verse and the outro. It’s the same melody both times (which you can find easily), and here’s an attempt at the backing chords:
Am – C – F – C – Am – C – F – F – F – C – F – C – Am – Am – G – C
What’s the strumming pattern tho?
Love this song! The chorus is a bit tricky to sing though, and if you aren’t a huge fan and don’t have the song memorized, you should definitely listen to it first.
