Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

Black and White by Parquet Courts (off Sunbathing Animal)
This is the pattern for the intro, bridge, solo, outro, and parts of the verse.
E G
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Intro: E G (x12)
Verse:
G E
Nothing makes my heart so wild as being
G E G
In possession of a potent night,
E G
Racing down the stairs in a nude descension
E
Shedding and discarding my hide
G A C
But the bold strokes crack so quickly and it?s
A G
Often that I wonder why
E G
Dripping at the slow motion rate of surrender
E
Hanging to my bones as they dry
G D
How could I want something more
A
than a new hell in which to fry
G E G
When I see in only black and white
Bridge: E G (x4)
Verse:
G E
There?s a sinful sort of side of being
G E G
so contained, A bit like being lost.
E G
Stumbling through the background like a small town loner
E G
quietly a whispering my thoughts into
A C
my cupped hands, folded and monk-like,
A G
at least thats what i?ve always said.
E G
How does writing letters from the lonely margins
E
feel when there is no hair on my head?
G D A
Is the solitude I seek a trap where i?ve been blindly led?
G E G
Tell me, where then do I go instead?
Solo: E G (x13)
Verse:
G E
When atonement comes in distant waves
G E G
I might wait until the next to break
E G
choking through forgiveness at a sun fly prompter
E
staring through the back of my face.
G A C
It?s a vulgar, hidden part of being
A G
tethered to the world right now;
E G
spending all my dollars to remain a member,
E
nothing in my eyes but a scowl.
G D A
Do i bother to define myself beyond what they allow?
G E G
Have I already forgotten how?
Outro: E G (x3)
Then hang on G for a while, then end on E.
