Basement Tapes

F          | C         | F         | C         |
F          | C         | G         | G         ||

[Verse 1]
      F   C                     F                        C
So we get loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs
       F   C                     G                       G
and we set out on highway thirty-five to discover.
           F     C                               F                C
What's the plan, sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather?
            F    C                   G                   G
Where's the map? One of us is barely holding it together.

[Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,
F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.
C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,
F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.

[Verse 2]
      F    C                      F                  C
So we tool down to Kansas City to sleep on a sofa
          F     C                          G              G
and we're cool, temporarily cos we're from   Minnesota.
      F  C                          F                C
Later on walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter
       F     C                             G                   G
on the lawn, talking while inside you made out with her sister.

[Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,
F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.
C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,
F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.
Dm              G              Am                 D          G         G
Summer diamonds rushing by us. Wake me up when we get there.

[Interlude]
C          | G         | Dm        | Am        |
F          | C/E       | G         | G         ||

[End-Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I'm still cranking your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,
F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.
C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,
F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.
