Biography:
Mac DeMarco is the antithesis to your stereotypical singer-songwriter. Disregarding the seriously somber moments, he replaces them with whimsical and youthful spontaneity, whilst retaining endearing and subtle commentaries. Promptly after leaving his Edmonton garage for Vancouver he embarked on a grand voyage of enlightenment and alcoholic debauchery.
DeMarco’s a weird cat, cultivating an affinity for occult imagery, nudity and social satire. But

Capo 4
I'll just write the chord names/notes as they'd look without a capo (a couple of the names are probably wrong
so focus on the shapes themselves):
G6 (3-2-0-0-0-0) and/or (3-5-0-0-0-0) - this way you can slide from (3-5-0-0-0-0) to (1-3-0-0-0-0)
G13/F (1-3-0-0-0-0) and/or (1-5-0-0-0-0)
Em (0-2-2-0-0-0)
D7 (x-x-0-2-1-2)
Cmaj (x-3-2-0-1-0)
Cmaj9/B (x-2-0-0-1-0)
Am7 (x-0-2-0-1-0)
G (3-2-0-0-0-3)
* = hit the 3rd fret on the high E string with the usual chord
(One more note: Mac's tape recording process and pitch shifting sometimes does funny things to the tuning, so
your guitar isn't going to sound exactly the same unless you use varispeed or tune up/down slightly or
something.)
[Intro]
G6 G13/F Em D7

[Verse 2]
G6 G13/F
When the old man gets to see it
Em
He'll be whistling
