Pre-chorus:

^GGentlemen ^Adon't get caught, ^Bmcages under ^A*cage ^GGentlemen ^Adon't get caught

[*Tip: Peter Buck plays this chord and adds some jangling on the high strings live, like this: A e|-0-0-------------| B|-2---2---3-2-0---| G|-2-----2-------2-| D|-2---------------| A|-0---------------| E|-----------------| Also: You can jangle the other chords instead of just strumming them, sounds even better. The last G and A chords are played by strumming quickly the low strings.] Chorus:

^BmBox car^Gs [are ^A*pulling] out of town ^BmBox car^Gs [are ^A*pulling] out of town ^BmBox car^Gs [are ^A*pulling] out of town Bm G A* Bm G A*

[*Note: Peter seems to play the chorus jangling the strings following some pattern that I can't figure it out, but you can make it sound fine strumming the chords loosely. Each A chord always ends with this phrase: A e|-0-0-0---------| B|-2-2-2-3-2-0---| G|-2-2-2-------2-| D|-2-2-2---------| A|-0-0-0---------| E|---------------|]
