This song must be played with energy, using some tricks like slapping or anything
that keeps the song stirring.
Energic doesn't mean fast: take it as you feel it (the album version is quite slow).
However, if you want to speed up, that's gonna be hard to play the original beat
Bass-Chord-Chord, it will be clearer if you only play Bass-Chord.

The bridge may be longer.
Don't hold the last chord, the effect is better.
== Verse 2 ==
Like the verse 1 :
Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E
The only difference is that the two last chords Fmaj7 and E are played only once,
softly and slowing down (listen to the song).
== Chorus ==
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7 + -0--3--0--3-
== Bridge 2 ==
This part includes a little riff (I'm not gonna put it here) and some "oh-oh-oooh-oh".
The chords are like in the verse :
Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E
== Chorus ==
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E
E7-Am*-Bb-Am**-G7-E
At the end, repeat the 4 last chords (Bb-Am**-G7-E) 4 times and finish with -0--3--0--3.
Ending chord : Am
----------------------------------------------------------------
Am C
Oh my father said : "Just keep silent
Dadd9
And in the places where you've been
F E
Nobody will say you've been seen."
Am C
And I go to the woods once or twice a year
Dadd9 Fmaj7 E
And I sing "doo-doo-doo" when they shave my hair.
E7 Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats.
Bridge : Am Am
Am C
And in the big big big cities
Dadd9 F E
I gave all I got !
Am C
And I shared a secret with a stranger
Dadd9 Fmaj7 E
For he won't say it to my fa----ther.
E7 Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats.
Bridge : Am-C-Dadd9-F-E
Am-C-Dadd9-Fmaj7-E
E7 Am*
And I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
And the old man's ghost.
E7 Am*
I can see the vultures, the starving vultures
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats
Bb Am** G7 E
Killin' two white goats,
Am
Oooh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
