"Song of Our So-called Friend" by Okkervil River Album: Black Sheep Boy Tabbed by: Brandon Madsen (brandon dot madsen at gmail dot com) There are two existing tabs up on the site at the time I am posting this, and neither is quite right. These are the actual chords (not relative to a capo or anything), and as such can be used for any instrument. To get the capo'ed chord shapes just hit the down arrow next to "transpose" at the left until the number matches the fret you have the capo on. VERSE 1:
ARemember when our so-called friend would Bmnot call out to you while tumbling F#mloosely out a hole punched through your Dhome? It’As pretty clear, though you could hear, yoBmu truly finally knew in time, he??F#m?ll tell his tale the way he’d like iDt told. Now he F#misn’t on thDe phone. His storBmy might as well bDe so.
VERSE 2:
Well, Aloving is as loving does, and BmI’d say we should know, because wF#me both have loved and lost and areD alone. Your Aface’s falling tears, to me they??Bm?re lovely and they’re dear, though you F#mdon’t love me and it’s clear that I will Dnever see you in my arms.
There’F#ms no room in youDr heart foBmr even this finely-sharpeneDd dart. AlAthough I had startBmed to think there might be Dhope, it isn’At so.
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE: A Bm F#m D A Bm F#m D BRIDGE:
So F#mwake up, make Bmup some new song Dagain around the Asame tune. The water F#mcools; the leaves, they fall; the sun, it Bmbends; the summer ends; our so-called Dfriend doesn’At need you.
VERSE 3:
So proceed Aout the door and down the street. DeBmcember’s lying near, but in thF#me oven’s heat this house is now a Dhome. ASixty days of trips and stays you Bmtook to tell me, dear, that you canF#mnot love me because you secretDly
still love a stone.
Though I F#mput my lips to your Dface, trying to Bmpush his kiss out of its Dplace... AlAthough my heart startBmed to race, now it has Dslowed, I’ll let iAt go.
INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO: A Bm F#m D A Bm F#m D A (I am ignoring the more ambient outro that continues for 40 more seconds after the song has basically ended)
