This is a good song by quite a well known Indie-Pop band called Los Campesinos,
it's simple to play the chords, but to play the chords and synth melody together may
some practice.
Intro:
Down-Up-Down strums for the E chord, followed by the melody.
E|-0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--4-0-2-4--0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--7-7-4-5--|
B|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------|
G|-1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------| x2
D|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------|
A|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------|
E|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------|
Followed by:
E|-0-4-0-4-0-4-0-4-|
B|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
G|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| x4
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret.
Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord.
Verse:
E
You expected my war diaries
B
But time ran out and I, I let you down
A
A small thanks note written in French
B
is no shorthand for this thing gave me writers cramp.
E
Had a dream about shapeshifting
B
Well we move with such elegance
A
With such grace
B
With all our dignity just in place
For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick.
E|-7-|
B|-9-|
G|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|-0-|
E
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
Verse:
E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
B A
To get across a sense of impending doom
B
And the leaves like the outward to major leagues
E
They're like the foxes on the hard shoulder
And for some reason I think that I have twisted
B
This story to the fight last year and it turned out
A
that this is it so he goes to back his track
B
and for the signs we never signed
[Chorus]
Breakdown:
(Play an E chord, building up gradually)
E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get across a sense of impending doom
And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
And there are little more than pictures
of how I see you on an x-ray machine
Its more like a television screen and you're in iraq
And I know that you know what I mean
And I realise, sensation hits
Not even two girls requires to have a sailor smile.
(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord
just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as
as possible.)
Post-Chorus:
(Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A
at the end of each line)
E A
E|-7---12-|
B|-9---14-|
G|-9---14-|
D|-9---14-|
A|-7---12-|
E|-0------|
E A
Turn up on your doorstep
E A
Feeling like roadkill
E A
Decent like postage stamps
E A E A
And when I turn to you, you feeling like i never know
E A
Everything I ever wrote
E A
Pouring out of your mouth.
End on E
