Just [Bm] like a paper tiger,
[E] torn [B] apart by the wind,
[E]
Through the hell to [B] skelter [Bm] morning,
[B] fix yourself [G#] for a still [F#] day.
[E] No more ashes [B] to [D] acid,
[E] no more cinders from [Bm] the sky.
[F#m] [E] Let all the laws of [B] creation,
[F#m] tell the [B] dead man how to die.
[D] [E]
[C] [Em] Deserts down [A] below, [F#m] [E]
[C] and storms [A] up [C#m] above,
[E]
Like [C] a stray dog gone [Em]
perfection, [E]
like [A] a paper [G]
tiger [D] in the [B] sun.
[E]
Looking [B] through a broken [Am]
diamond, [Bm]
[E] make the [B] past what it should [Bm]
be.
[E]
Through the ruins [B] and the weather, [Bm]
capture the boat in the snow.
[E]
[C] [Em] Deserts down below, [Em] [E] and [C] storms up [C#m]
above,
[E]
Like a stray dog [A] gone perfection, [E]
like a [A] paper [G]
tiger [D] in [E] the sun.
[F]

[Bm] [F#m] [E] [B]

Project all [Bm] the laws of happiness, see how life [B] doesn't [Bm]
last.

NotesBeta

To learn Beck - Paper Tiger chords, begin by getting comfortable with these sequence: E, B, D, E, Bm, E, A, G and D. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 73 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 146. Adapt the capo setting considering your vocal range, with reference to the key: D Major.
