Transpose:
Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs.  It's awesome.  I love it.  I think the lyrics
are 98% right.  Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other
lines might be iffy.  Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate.  Not sure what he 
does between the verses though.  Maybe some variation of the D chord.  The notes that he
picks are e, d c#, b.

G F#m Em picking part
e,d, c#, bcombatting the dubious induced haze
A Em F#m Embarely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed
BmI ain't slept very well for days
G A D Bmfor all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians
G F#m EmI should try to bring a better spirit to my day
A Em Bmalthough I can't believe our souls are at their basest, good
G A Bm Emi'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)
G A Di'd like to live as if I could
D A BmYou try to offer something without asking much return
G F#m Em Picking partAt best even less than it is worth
A Em F#m EmAnd watch it taken every day from every petty picker
BmMore than you can accumulate from birth
G A D BmNo, you might never know how the work you've done affects your living
G F#m EmTrust in animus might just get you through the day
A Em BmAnd though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on wood
G A Bm EmI'd to live as if I could (oh yea)
G A DI'd to live as if i could.
