My Rights Versus Yours

New Pornographers

The only tricky thing about this song is that some chords aren't held
as long as you'd think.  Watch out for the Gm to Bb on �truth in one
free afternoon� and there�s a bunch of half measure changes near the
end at �my right versus your right versus.�  By the way, I have no idea
if those are the lyrics, so if you know the lyrics, help me out.

F
Under the wheels the hope will spring
  Am
Mirages lost a few more things
    Dm
You left your sorrow dangling
   Bb                      C
It hangs in the air like a school cheer

F
From black notes inside the chords
    Am
On every wall inflections coughed
Dm
Deepest lakes and darkest stars 
  Bb                 C             Bb   
Remember we were the volunteers.        Oooooo

Am                   Bb
Courts knew this and nothing more  Ooooo
Am                 Bb              F
Now it�s my rights versus yours

F
Under your wheels your hopeless reign
Am
You fall too hard were up to late
     Dm
With hands suspended from the heights
  Bb                C
Until it�s safer to walk here
F
Under your wheels your chances win
    Am
The easy call, the call off search
    Dm
The medicine, it still won�t work
    Bb                          C        Bb
But there�s dangerous levels of it here      Ooooo

Am                Bb
Same thing as the other time
    Am                   Gm
But now it�s your rights versus mine
    Bb                     F     Gm
The truth in one free afternoon
    Bb                     F   
The truth in one free afternoon
C                   Dm
Under my wheels the chances help
   Am                 Bb
It gave me to save if from myself
    C                  Dm              Bb                     
The spectacles painted with my shaking hand
C                     Dm
Fingers and paints if paints we brought
Am                    Bb
Thinking we�d be even when we�re not
C                   Dm             Bb
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
                Gm         Bb                 F    x4
A new empire in rags.  The truth in free afternoon x4

F                       
Under their wheels the fencers and start
  Am
A time to dabble in the arts
   Dm
To teach the packs dogs in charge
    Bb                C          
But kid it�s always beyond me
F
Under the wheels the hope will spring
    Am
The rashes have lost a few more things
    Dm
The medicine it still won�t sing
    Bb                          C
But there�s dangerous levels of it here

F                                   Am
                          Ooo oo oo oo               
Dm          C         Bb     Am     Gm
Your rights versus my rights versus
Eb                     F                                     Am
You came to my place.  Your rights versus my rights versus
Dm          C         Bb     Am     Gm
Your rights versus my rights versus
Eb                     F                                     Am
You came to my place.  Your rights versus my rights versus

F  Am  for the rest of the song.  End on F
