THE APOCALYPSE SONG – ST. VINCENT (MARRY ME, 2007)

Standard tuning
(EADGBE)

The song sounds kind of ‘detuned’ on purpose, so it can be tricky to play along.

CHORDS:

G : (355433) or (320003)
Gm : (355333)
D : (x(0)0323) or (x57775)
C : (x32010) or (x35553)

F# : (244322)
E : (022100)
Bm : (x24432)
B : (x24442)

NOTE: [Both for G/Gm and B/Bm].
It is easier to shift between MAJOR/minor with your middle finger than changing your hand position.

INTRO:

G / Gm G / Gm G / Gm G / Gm

VERSE:

D Gm C G D
Wait I'll be swifter than the speed of light
D Gm C G Gm
Carbon on my body a billion years of time
D Gm C G D
You wake with the stitches over both your eyes
D Gm C G Gm
And deny me my body and all earthly delights

CHORUS:
D C
It's time You are light
G Gm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of



D C
Time You are light
G Gm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
VERSE:
D Gm C G Gm
All of your praying amounts to just one breath
D Gm C G Gm
Please keep your victory but give me little death

CHORUS:
D C
It's time You are light
G Gm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
D C
Time You are light
G Gm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of

OUTRO:

Time Time Time Time

OUTRO CHORUS:
F# E
It's time You are light
B Bm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
F# E
Time You are light
B Bm
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
Bm Bm
what everyone is made of what everyone is made of
Bm Bm
what everyone is made of what everyone is made of

ENDING (tricky rhythm; watch out!):
F# E B Bm
So take to the streets with apocalypse refrain
F# E B Bm
Your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze
