Here it is. All of the Decemberists' songs and albums in one tab. I'll try to keep it
updated as they come out with new albums, but it will take a little bit of time to update
however, so don't expect instant service ;). Also, songs that are on more than one album
will not be repeated. There are also a few songs that are impossible to get chords for so
I have the tab. Any songs with no "Original Tabbers" are ones tabbed by me.

VERSE 1
Cmaj7The film was a bust but we stayed till the ending
Hair all a-mussed but your clothes didn't look so bGad
And bacCmaj7k on the street the rain was descending
In cold dirty sheets, so under the awning we sGat
And then you hailed yourself aCmaj7 yellow cab
PRE-CHORUS
And I sCat for a time by the valets in line and I rGead what you wrote on the card
Above a cCowboy you drew a big talk balloon saying "TrGy not to take it so hard"
CHORUS
But there's this naggAming suspicion that won't leave me alone tConight
It's just that everything I try to do, nothing seems to turn out rGight
VERSE 2
Cmaj7We laid on our backs and stared at the ceiling
Messed with your slacks, but ended up just holding your haGnd
Cmaj7The rain will remain, the TV was telling
A drip of the drain as your legs lift to brilliantlyG bend
And fall to resting on the ottCmaj7oman
PRE-CHORUS
So we tCurned off the tube and we crawled to your roGom leaving discarded clothes in our wake
And we Cboth had some fun, though I twice bit my tonGgue, and it lasted too long for my taste
CHORUS
And there's this naggAming suspicion that won't leave me alone tConight
It's just that everything I try to do, nothing seems to turn out Gright
CLa haaGa lCa haaGa lCa di dGa
CHORUS
But there's this naggAming suspicion that won't leave me alone tConight
It's just that everything I try to do, nothing seems to turn out Gright
OUTRO
Cmaj7A wink and a wave and you're off to your family
I sit and watch as the taxi lights distantlyG fade
Cmaj7I guess I always thought it'd end this way

Colin: My name's Joseph, I just rolled into town
Lady 1: Would you like to sing a song for us?
Colin: I believe I do have a song I'd like to sing: It's called the Bandit Queen
Lady 2: Alright. I've got a good ear for the chords.
VERSE 1
As the SuCn is sinking loC7w,
And the eFvening's tucked in toFmw,
On the horCizon, my trAmue love GI see-e-e-e-eG7ee.
She ain't fanCcy, she ain't fC7ine
While her fFingers number only nFmine
She's the beClle of the bAmall of the insFurgencGy.
CHORUS
She's my CBandit Queen, laying beneath theAm moon
In a baFndit cave, a blanket laid for tGwo
If I could fCind a way to your hideaway by the seAma
O FBandit Queen, sG7teal away to mCe.
BRIDGE
AmSomewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
In an alCcove hid by some treesC/B
AmAmidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
My Fladylove sniffs at the breGeze.
FAnd sitting up, she adjusts her turban
And Ctakes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
And D7listening to the whistling of the train in stationG
N.COdds are it will never reach its destination.
'Cause the CBandit Queen, astride her steed will Amride

You may not remember me, I was a child of three,
And you a lad of Eeighteen
But I remember you, and I will relate to you,
How our histories interwAmeave
VERSE 2
FAt the time you were a rake and a roustabAmout.
SFpending all your money on the whores and hoEunds. OFh-oEh

My widowed mother found so sweet
AmAnd so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him,
Now filled with filth and foul diseasFe.

As time wore on you proved a debt-ridden drunken Ammess.
FLeaving my mother a poor consumptive wEretch. FOh-Eoh

And my poor mother lost herAm mind.

Did I ever once turn my mind from the thought of Erevenge. OFh-oEh.

And in the whistle of the wind I could almost Ehear, Foh-Eoh.
