This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Watching this video: "Los Campesinos - In Medias Res (Mosaic Music Festival Singapore 2012)"
on youtube really helped me figure it out.
The lyrics in parenthesis are from the "All's Well That Ends" version, but the chords are the same
in both songs. It's also a little easier to hear the chord changes in that version in some parts too.
B E F# G#m E x4
A F# G#m A F# E
Verse 1:
But let's talk about yBou for a minute
With the voEmit at your gullet
From a hF#alf bottle of vodka that we'd sG#mtolen from the opEtic
On the bBack seat of your car, because it wEasn't safe to start it
You were "F#far too fucked to drive", were the G#mwords that you impEarted
And the wooBllen dress that clEung so tight to the coF#ntours of your G#mbody E
And the dBead grass stuck to fiEbres from us roF#lling in the lG#may-by E
Were paBssed to dog-haired blaEnkets
That proF#tected the bench seat cG#movers E
And a cruBcifix was hEung from rear view miF#rror by your mG#mother E
A F# G#m A F# E
(glockenspiel part:)
Ab B Ab Bb Db x3
Verse 2:
I'm leAbaving my body to sciBence, not meAbdical but phBbysics Db
AbDrag my corpse through the aiBrport and lAbay me limp on the lBbeft wing Db
AbDrop me at the highest pBoint and trace a line arAbound the dent I leave in the grBbound Db
AbThat'll be the iniBtial of the one you'll mAbarry now I'm not arBbound
I fDblew for sAbeven hours, the sky didn't oBnce turn black
B G#m E Dbm
And I would soBoner go down in a ball of flames!
(Then I would G#mlay here and be bored to death
All's well that eEnds.)Dbm G#m
B E F# G#m E x2
Verse 3:
I wBake from sleep, my hEead and shoulder, F#wet against the wG#mindow E
A fBrost had formed and meElted, soaked me rF#ight through to my colG#mlarbone E
BIf you were given the opEtion of dying painF#lessly in peace at G#m45
EBut with a loBver at your sEide, after a fF#ull and happy G#mlife E B
Is this someEthing that would intF#erest G#myou? E B
Would this intEerest you at aF#ll? G#m E
B E F# G#m E
