THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL SHEET OF MUSIC NOTES "The Legionnaire's Lament" by The Decemberists www.decemberists.com This is for one guitar only, I don't know the little electric guitar riffs. This is my first guitar tab for Ultimate-guitar.com I'm 95% sure that this is correct I saw it live in concert. Enjoy. Standard Tuning: EADGBe Dm: x57765 A: 577655 G: 355433 VERSE: (strum with palm muting; listen to the song to know what I mean)
I'm a Dmlegionnaire, Camel in Adisrepair Hoping for a Gfrigidaire to come Apassing by. I am on Dmreprieve, lacking my Ajoie de vive, missing my Ggay Paris, in this Adesert dry .
CHORUS: (still palm muting A, but normal strumming when you get to Dm)
If only summer Dmrain would fall On the Ahouses and the boulevards G A (palm mute after first couple strums) and the sidewalk bagatelles it's like a dream Dm (strum normal again) with the roar of cars and the Alulling of the cafe bars, the Gsweetly sleeping sweeping of the ASeine. Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back againDm.
By now you should pretty much have it down; it is very simple. If you hear it sounds after playing the A chord for a while, it's probably because you need to add palm muting to transitions, coupled with the fact that the song is not really centered around acoustic guitar. It's more of an eclectic composition, featuring all sorts of instruments. Get an and it'll sound authentic! R.C. (smarterray@aol.com)
