The New Pornographers are a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman

The New Pornographers - All For Swinging You Around From: Electric Version (2003)
Thanks to all who have put up NP tabs. I felt like I should give something back. Feel free to email me any corrections ([email protected]).
The E(VII) may not be exactly right, but it sounds approximately correct if played as X755XX. I usually play the B-chord that follows the E(VII) back down at the 2nd fret.
Intro
F#G#BC#
F#G#BC#
F#G#BC# Exploding international, the scenes, the sounds,
F#G#BC# And famously the feeling that you can't squeeze 'round,
E(VII)BF#C# While tearing off another page of loose change outrage.
E(I) BF#C# It's another perfect day until the night shows.
F#G#BC# Exploding international, the wind did howl.
F#G#BC# The sky above was thick with rings of smoke and clouds,
E(VII)BF#C# And hanging on the bleeding end of conscious, who's this?
E(I) BF#C#G#B Was there anything I missed, as far as you know? As far as you know?
C#F#BC# Was it all for swinging you around?
C#F#BC# Was it all for swinging you around?
[Repeat Intro]
F#G#BC# Exploding international, the sun, the sights,
F#G#BC# The moments you are viewing through a beam of light,
E(VII)BF#C# Propel you through the golden age. We crash-land the first page
E(I) BF#C#G#B On a crumbling world stage, into the front rows, into the front rows.
C#F#BC# All for swinging you around.
C#F#BC# All for swinging you around.
Bridge
G#mF#B G#mF#B
G#mF#B And off your feet, all the love you found, spinning 'round.
G#mF#B And off your feet, all the love you found, spinning 'round.
G#mF#B And off your feet, all the love you found, spinning 'round.
F#C#E(I) F#B Spinning 'round, spinning 'round.
F#G#BC# We're twisting incognito with no time, can't talk,
F#G#BC# Can't tell if this is fantasy or culture shock,
E(VII)BF#C# Or remnants of a golden age that's near mint unplayed,
E(I) BF#C#G#B Or a welcome overstayed beneath the lightshow, beneath the lightshow.
