Father John Misty — Ballad Of The Dying Man

    	    	Вступление

This is my favorite of the singles we've heard from "Pure Comedy" so far, so I figured
I'd take a minute to transcribe the chords.

In typical Josh fashion, the guitar is in D tuning (DGCFAD). There are a couple times 
in the song where it sounds like he might even be downtuned to Db, but I haven't seen him 
do that yet, so we'll stick with D for now.

[Intro] 
The intro is the same chord sequence as the chorus. I like to accent my strumming in a 
way that mimics the high notes of the piano part. On the second F in the sequence, try 
moving your pinky up to the fifth fret of the high D string (3x0005) and back down to 
the third fret (3x0003) in order to follow the piano. Throughout the song, I also alternate 
between Gm and Gm7 (which I've marked in parentheses) toward the end of phrases in order 
to get the higher F-note of the keys, even though it sounds like Josh plays it as a 
straight Gm.
 
F  Fmaj7  F7  F  Bb  F/A  Gm  Abdim7  Gm (Gm7)
 
[Verse 1] 
F                   Dm    Eb           Gm (Gm7)
Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
F                          Dm   Eb           Gm (Gm7)
Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
     Am                                   F7
And had he successively beaten back the rising tide
                Dm                  Dbmaj-5
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
                 Abdim7      Gm
On his watch while he was alive
F        Abdim7            Db    Dm
Lord, just a little more time
 
[Chorus 1] 
    F Fmaj7 F7     F
Oh, in no time at all
               Bb  F/A  Gm
This'll be the distant past
G7    Gm (Gm7)
Ooh
 
[Verse 2] 
F                 Dm   Eb              Gm (Gm7)
So says the dying man once I'm in the box
F                           Dm   Eb            Gm (Gm7)
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
                 Am                                   F7
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
                 Dm                 Dbmaj-5
The homophobes, hipsters, and 1%
                          Abdim7      Gm
The false feminists he'd managed to detect
F          Abdim7                     Db    Dm
Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
 
[Chorus 2] 
    F Fmaj7 F7     F
Oh, in no time at all
               Bb  F/A  C 
This'll be the distant past
 
[Bridge] 
Ab                  C               F         Bb
What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
Gm                     C           F        Bb
The world made in his image as of yet to realize 
        Dm      Gm     C      
What a mess to leave behind
 
[Verse 3] 
F                    Dm   Eb             Gm (Gm7)
Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
F                              Dm      Eb                Gm (Gm7)
But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss
        Am                        F7
And it occurs to him a little late in the game
             Dm                   Dbmaj-5
We leave as clueless as we came
                            Abdim7         Gm
From rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
F        Abdim7         Db    Dm
We'll all be wrong someday
 
[Outro] 
While Josh sings the "Oh oh oh" bit and the choir comes in, just repeat this sequence 
until the end of the song:
 
Bb  F/A  Gm (Gm7)
