Biography:
Destroyer is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Bejar and formed in 1995. Destroyer songs are characterized by abstract, poetic lyrics and idiosyncratic vocals. The band's discography draws on a variety of musical influences, resulting in albums that can sound markedly distinct from one another; in Bejar's words, "That's kind of my goal: to start from scratch every time."
1996–2001
We'll Build Them a Golden Bridge, Destroyer's 1996 debut, is made up of sixteen lo-fi home-recordings.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Destroyer is Dan Bejar, one of the New Pornographers (usually referred to as "indie
supergroup New Pornographers" and then followed by a mention of Neko Case). There aren't
any chords/tabs for Destroyer songs online, which is just ridiculous; the man can write
rock songs (or, in the case of "Farrar, Straus & Giroux (Sea of Tears)," melancholy
pop/country songs) like nobody's business, and who doesn't like to rock out, now and
again, in the grand indie style? Having said that, I hope I've been rocking (or popping)
appropriately to this song.
D
F#m
It was back amongst the living
Bm
Your smile was giving
G
Me a thrill
D
Enough to come so close
F#m
To closing the deal
The steal of the century
Bm
A century stolen from our hearts
G
To a house on the hill
A
But if that is what it takes
G
If that is what it takes
A G-Bm-G-Bm-G
If that is what it takes
D
To be a stone
F#m
A stone's throw from your throne
Bm
No man has ever hung
G
From the rafters of a second home
D
No man has ever hung
F#m
From the rafters of a second home
Bm
G
D
It's true
F#m
I needed you more
Bm
Back when I was poor
G
The wealthy dowager, the patroness
She guessed it
The answer wasn't yes
D
But her maxims were fine
F#m
The ethos that flew about her mind
Bm
Like swallows in search
G
Of a burnt-down bell tower church
A
But if that is what it takes
G
If that is what it takes
A G-Bm-G-Bm-G
If that is what it takes
D
To be a stone
F#m
A stone's throw from your throne
Bm
No man has ever hung
G
At the temporary age of twenty-four
(With) both feet on the floor
D F#m
Listening to the bona fide stasis of sound
The eaves dripping
Bm G
Yesterday's ill-timed August rain
D F#m
If there is such a thing as ill-timed August rain
