This is a song I always wanted to learn but never found the chords or was able to translate the original version on piano by Morrissey. However I was able to translate an almost identical (Chord wise) acoustic version by Colin Meloy on "Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey." I found help with lyrics from "It May All End Tomorrow" at http:/www.compsac.man.ac.uk/~moz/ Help with defining chords at http://www.hatbox.lib.virginia.edu/gtrchord/gtrchord Chords used listed at the bottom.
