This is a good song by quite a well known Indie-Pop band called Los Campesinos, it's simple to play the chords, but to play the chords and synth melody together may some practice. Intro: Down-Up-Down strums for the E chord, followed by the melody. E|-0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--4-0-2-4--0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--7-7-4-5--| B|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------| G|-1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------| x2 D|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------| A|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------| E|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------| Followed by: E|-0-4-0-4-0-4-0-4-| B|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| G|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| x4 D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret. Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord. Verse:
EYou expected my war diaries But Btime ran out and I, I let you down A small Athanks note written in French is no shortBhand for this thing gave me writers cramp.
EHad a dream about shapeshifting Well Bwe move with such elegance With such Agrace With all our dignity just iBn place
For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick. E|-7-| B|-9-| G|-9-| D|-9-| A|-7-| E|-0-|
EDeer die With their eyes wide open Eyes wide open Eyes wide open Deer die With their eyes wide open
Verse:
Drawing Etiny little pictures of skeletons To get aBcross a sense of impending dooAm And the leaves like the outward to Bmajor leagues They're like the foxes on the hard shoulEder
And for some reason I think that I have twisted
This Bstory to the fight last year and it turned out that this is iAt so he goes to back his track and for the signs we never sBigned
[Chorus] Breakdown: (Play an E chord, building up gradually)
EDrawing tiny little pictures of skeletons To get across a sense of impending doom And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now And there are little more than pictures of how I see you on an x-ray machine Its more like a television screen and you're in iraq And I know that you know what I mean And I realise, sensation hits Not even two girls requires to have a sailor smile.
(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as as possible.) Post-Chorus: (Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A at the end of each line)
E|-E7---A12-| B|-9---14-| G|-9---14-| D|-9---14-| A|-7---12-| E|-0------|
ETurn up on your Adoorstep EFeeling like Aroadkill EDecent like Apostage stamps EAnd when I turn Ato you, you Efeeling like i Anever know EEverything I Aever wrote EPouring out Aof your mouth.
End on E
