Banking on a Myth- Andrew Bird

This is a fun one especially If you have a loop pedal.. just lay down a beat and overdub 
plucking in E minor for an interesting background layer for the main guitar riff  Em to

There's one guy I'd like to thank he signs the checks and leaves them blank
         
he's the one
             
he says you don't have to walk a plank the game is rigged, go figure

slide show tanked
                 
and your flagship sank
                                    
so we're taking all our myths to the bank
                     
so just don't, Don’t forget who to thank
                  
we're taking our myths to the
                
we’re drinking a fifth to the
                                       
we're taking all our myths to the bank   Oh no

Riff/solo

If you could just do him this favor, although it might involve child labor
           
join his entourage give him a foot massage
         
from Star Search to the Philharmonic he'll get you there with Hooked on Phonics
                
he's the one to know
                                        
doesn't matter if you blow – no no, no no
                             
in fact it's just the thing
                   
he thinks we're needing
         
it's a lukewarm liquid diet
            
they're force feeding
                            
when the words we use have lost their bite
                                         
now they hit you like an imaginary pillow fight
      
but it's all right
                                  
cause you're inside and you're in tight

(Fingerpick this part)
                          
deals in commodities of the abstract sort
buys them in bulk but sells them short
talent, genius, love even signs of affection
he floods the market there's no price protection
                    
and when his master plan is unfurled
                                                          
There stands a handsome bid on the weather systems of the world
