I noticed the near complete lack of many of the better songs by pedro the lion on this
and so I'm gonna try to do somethign about that. I've seen tabs for this fantastic song
other sites and their all so wrong it hurts. I'm not that great at figuring out songs
myself, I'll admit. And I don't know many of the fancy names for chords, but I should
able to get you to figure out how to play the song, and that's all that matters. I'm
this as I watch David Bazan play it live on some videos, so they should be pretty much
but if not, I'm sorry. It's better than 80% of the tabs most people submit, at least.
the chords I dont know the names of, I'll make a chart and give each shape a number.
I'll just put the number in place of the chord name where it goes in the song.
be too dificult

Times like Cthese they've been taught to Amlie

Buddy just calm down you'll be alright
Verse 2

His children were so well behaved
CAs the priest got up to speAmak

Second Chorus kinda thingy
You're gonna Cdie

Could be tonighGt
Lately IC have been wondering wAmhy
1 C
We go to so much trouble
1 Am
To postpone the unavoidable

There you go. I'm almost 100% sure these are the chords David plays when he plays it
I froze the video and put my fingers where his were and it sounds the same. So after you
those 2 chords i don't know the names are, you have yourself a correct version of
and Paramedics to play on your acoustic whenever you please = )
