Strange Mercy by St. Vincent, out of the album of the same title, and her best. I found no tab for it so I decided to make one watching this live performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOJyLc9lccY The guitar in the studio version is heavily loaded with reverb and other effects so it has this really atmospheric and sparse sound. Would appreciate if someone could name the chords in it :) [VERSE] 1) D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---7------------7---7-----5--------------5----5----------------------------| F|---7------------7---7-----5--------------5----5----------------------------| C|--11------------9---7-----9--------------7----5----------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Oh - little one - I - know you've been tired for a long long time D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---7------------7---7-----5-----------5----5-------------------------------| F|---7------------7---7-----5-----------5----5-------------------------------| C|--11------------9---7-----9-----------7----5-------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| And oh - little one - I - ain't been around for a little while D|----------------------12-------------------12------------------------------| A|-------------------12-------------------12---------------------------------| F|----------------14-------------------12------------------------------------| C|-------------16------------------ 14---------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| But when you see - me wa - a - a - it 2) D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---7------------7---7-----5--------------5----5----------------------------| F|---7------------7---7-----5--------------5----5----------------------------| C|--11------------9---7-----8--------------7----5----------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Oh - little one, your - Hemingway - jaw line looks just like his D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--- 7------------7---7-----5-----------5----5------------------------------| F|--- 7------------7---7-----5-----------5----5------------------------------| C|-- 11------------9---7-----8-----------7----5------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Our father in exile for God only knows how many years D|----------------------12-------------------12------------------------------| A|-------------------12-------------------12---------------------------------| F|----------------14-------------------12------------------------------------| C|-------------16------------------ 14---------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| But when you see - him wa - a - a - it D|----------------------12------------------------------15-------------------| A|-------------------12----------------------17------------------------------| F|----------------14----------------------15---------------------------------| C|-------------16----------------------17------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------15---------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Through double pa - a - ain 3) D|---0-------------2----/----5----/-----8------------------------------------------| A|---0-------------2----/----5----/-----8------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| C|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---0-------------2----/----5----/-----8-----------------------3----7-----0-------| I'll be with you lost bo - oys!
