Close your eyes
                 G

Used to be a normal guy

But now I’m lonely

January back when I

 was 23

It was only you and me
The doctor made me

take one
        G
last pee

One last look and the
doctor
             G
 gave me a nod

To the circumference

 of my rod

C
Open my eyes
                    G
I reach down its so bizarre

He was sitting in a jar

Now he’s just a heartless

scar
     C
But every time I think
    G
of him
              Am
Just a lifeless limb
            F
I grasp it and I
    Fm
grin

How to play 4Skin: key, chords and progression

4Skin by People R Ugly keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: C, G, F, Am and Fm.

The backbone of the song is F – C – G – C (IV – I – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, E, D, F#m, Dm (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
