Bright Eyes version
Thanks to Zack

He plays all of these as bar chords (not necessary, but gives the nice scraping sound when sliding between the F and Bb chords). “X” indicates a muted (not sounding) string.

F        1-3-3-2-1-1

Bb      6-8-8-7-6-6

Dm     X-5-7-7-6-5

G        3-5-5-4-3-3

C        X-3-5-5-5-3

  F                    Bb

|  1   2   3   4  |  1   2   3   4  |  repeat throughout verse

I was living in a devil town

I didn’t know it was a devil town

Oh Lord it really brings me down

About the devil town

All my friends were vampires

Didn’t know they were vampires

Turns out I was a vampire myself

In the devil town
