Biography:
The Brian Jonestown Massacre was formed in San Francisco in 1990. The band has had over 40 members since then, but its driving force and main songwriter is Anton Newcombe. Other prominent members have included Matt Hollywood, Dean Taylor, Jeff Davies, Brian Glaze, and Joel Gion. Their sound is heavily influenced by the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s, but also carries influences from shoegaze, jangle pop, garage rock, and lo-fi genres.
Over its decade-long history, the band has undergone a large number of personnel changes.

"It's a magic song" (c) Anton Newcombe
Note: based on a version that Anton Newcombe doing in June 2013 via live stream on his DeadTV channel at
Ustream with Lukas Wagner and Tom. But in album version of that song used same chords, so its fine.
Note #2: for this song you extremely need capo on 1st fret. With capo it sounds really amazing and exactly how
it planned author. Actually you can play it without capo (it will be same chords), but its a your choice.
Note #3: your play style in this song it's important thing. When you playing, you don't need hit all strings.
Hit only E, A in up and G, B, e in down of the strings. So in your head it's going: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2... Like
russian play style, you know? Just listen to the song, and you get it.
Intro (just play it for a while, then go to words):
Am, F, Am, F, Am, C, Am
In that last Am verse are start.
Verse:
Am F Am
Silver rings and magic things, your children should not know
Am F Am
Evil deeds are rotten seeds, the kind that never grow
F Am
You put them in the ground you know
C Am
What you will become? Mmm-mmm, I'll tell you son
Am F Am
She traded life for happiness with no regrets at all
Am F Am
It left a rotten emptiness, it left her feeling small
F Am
It left her nothing left at all
Am C Am
Except something she despised, mmm-mmm, you see it in her eyes
---
Then going like:
Am, F, Am, F, Am, C, Am, C, Am, F (hold), Am, C, Am
So in this last Am words start again.
---
Verse:
Am F Am
She traded love for liberty, a bold pursuit of fun
Am F Am
She gave away her sanity and found that she had none
F Am
Watch quickly now as she becomes
Am C Am
Something that she despised, mmm-mm, you feel it in her
Am C Am
She's living in a lie, mmm-mmm, and she's the center
Am C Am
She gave away her life, mmm-mmm, she's not a sinner
Then going solo part (other guitars playing like: Am, C, Am, C, Am, C, Am and same many times to end of the
song).
