Biography:
Widowspeak is a Brooklyn, New York, United States-based quartet that play hazy atmospheric dream pop and shoegaze, formed in 2010.
There are aspects of the band's sound - abrasive guitar hooks, immediate drumming, and incessant codas - that speak to living in a big city. But there's also a dreary sparseness, a David Lynch-esque darkness, culled from the other members' native Washington.

Puritan by Widowspeak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opening track from the band's 2011 self titled debut. Couldn't make out all the lyrics,
but I tried to write down what I could. I didn't bother tabbing some of the lead solo
stuff in the middle of the song, but these chords are correct.
Tuning: Standard
NOTE: E is the only chord in the song that is played open; the rest are all barre
chords, as indicated.
Intro:
e|------------------------------------|

Four hour drive
Strange world outside
Shattered to see
The sun go down
B11 A
e|--7--- --5----|
B|--7--- --5----|
G|--8--- --6----|
D|--9--- --7----|
A|--9--- --7----|
E|--7--- --5----|
B11 A
Don't know ourselves
B11 A
In this hollow town
Then play this:
E (open) followed by A—
E E E E E E E / AA
If you have two guitarists you can continue play this progression over the top of
the following verses (which just alternate between an E and A).
E
So charmed, the rich in power
A
Puritans had all the power
E
Show them how their eyes were blue
A
Tell me I'll stay with you
B11 A
Always waiting
B11 A
And you're fading, fading out
E
So I looked my Sunday best
A
Still inside a devil's dress
E
Tall, dark ... (?)
A
Like the time they stood (?)
B11 A
I was looking
B11 A
Puritans watching
B11 A
I, I was watching, watching out
Resume E / A progression and end the song on the E chord.
