Casino Blues by Ben Gibbard

intro riff:

the intro and verse part where ben slides up the guitar are easy to play
its an E chord, and then slide it up so your pointer finger is on the sixth fret, and 
other two are on the seventh.

Intro: E

E
Life will tower (??) a quarter scale, of precious oxygen we never inhale,
Am                                                        E
i cracked a bottle against the safety rail, give me time


E
and you were like a walking compliment, tall in stature and exceptionally well read,
Am                                        E
adobe glasses and a cartigan, oh come on


          Am                            C                              E
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around


E
you said that all these things you've learned to ignore, hidden cameras on the casino floor
Am                                                  E
and what gets payed for behind hotel doors, oh come on


             Am                       C                           E
and pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
        Am                             C                               E
people stare into their eyes and they feed them little prizes, in they go


Am                  Em      Am                      
               Am                          Em    Dm      D    
      G            E
 and entering the twilight, the basement where the sun had never spilt, you said that 
were lonely, then we kissed like lonely people do


E
you said the city has a beating heart, that pushes people down the boulevard

and they're all hoping for a wishful fill, in the desert full of dollar bills
Am                                                   E
and foolishly you know they pay me still, oh come on


          Am                          C
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
          Am                          C
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
