Biography:
Hey Marseilles is a musical group from Seattle, WA, that formed in the summer of 2006 after Nick and Philip forced Matt Bishop to write a song to an accordion riff and play it live for a work party downtown. The current lineup consists of seven members performing on guitars, cello, viola, accordion, piano, bass, glockenspiel, ukulele, mandolin, drums, and a plethora of rhythmic accessories. The music can be described as indie-folk, and has been compared to that of The Decemberists, Devotchka, and Bright Eyes.

[EDIT: Turns out the Dm was an Am and I am completely blind for not noticing it. Thanks
to Charlie Rubash for the correction!]

*** A Note on C ***
Charlie has also said that the C should be a C/G, i.e.
|--0--|
|--1--|
|--0--|
|--2--|
|--3--|
|--3--|
And it certainly gives the chord a fuller sound, but I don't think Matt plays the low E
on that chord - at least not at the start.
It's down to personal choice, I think. It certainly might be useful to substitute C/G in
the later verses where it all gets a bit loud
and exciting.
