The Velocity of Saul at the Time of His Conversion by Okkervil River tabbed by Jason Kientz Standard tuning This is a great song and it isn't hard to play but its a little confusing to write down. So Basically i put the more detailed tabbing in the middle of the song right before you play it for the first time. Listen to the song for the rhythm. The chords above the words are only there so that you will know where you are supposed to be with the tabs. You should be plaing on eof the tabed riffs at all times during the song. Enjoy!

^CLoosesn the wire your ^Ftime has expired the ^Gonly word left is "goodbye," and in my new dream the light's ^Fshigning on me

(skip the G) little needles of sodium unstitch the seems of the, C F G F G (finish the whole intro riff with the G) sky,

^CHold your head higher the ^Fheavenly choir is ^Gsettling in for the night, and where I had friends I am ^Fleft with loose ends

four hours of vision exchanged for four hours of ^Gfright,

our flags fell where they'd ^Gfanned, F(full) G C Am you held in your breath... long after projections of death,

you sat in the waiting room rasping and gasped on dry ^Gland,

(play the intro/verse with this next part)

but the ^Caudience is tired we've ^Fhad enough fire we're ^Gentering the age now of ice,

and I feeling older pull ^Foff to the shoulder and I wonder with my head in my hands should I call my ^Gwife,

(play the chorus with this next part)

Enough "you^C and I" and enoug^Fh of "the fight," Em F(full) and enough of "prevail" or "walkin the line,"

when the spacecraft came ^Cdown I was left on the ^Fground, Em F(full) will you keep me around, will you help me survive,
