Oxford Comma
by Vampire Weekend
There isn't any guitar in the verse or pre-chorus, so you either stand around for ages
sing instead.
To get the rhythm for the solo right just listen to the song n u'll get it.
During the Chorus strum power chords over the top. Tabbing towards the end btw.
Lyrics/Chords
Verse:
GWho gives a fuck about an Oxford comma'
DI've seen those English dramas Gtoo, They'rDe cruel
GSo if there's any other way DTo spell the word
It's fine with Gme, with Dme
Pre-Chorus:
CWhy would you speak to Dme that way
GEspecially when I Dalways said that I
CHaven't got the Dwords for you
GAll your diction Ddripping with disdain
CThrough the pain I Dalways tell the truth
Verse:
GWho gives a fuck about an Oxford comma'
DI climbed to Dharamsala Gtoo DI did
GI met the highest lama
DHis accent sounded fine Gto me, Dto me
Pre-Chorus:
CCheck your handbook DIt's no trick
GTake the chapstick DPut it on your lips
CCrack a smile DAdjust my tie
GKnow your boyfriend, Dunlike other guys
Chorus:
CWhy would you lie about Dhow much coal you have'
GWhy would you lie about Amsomething dumb like that'
CWhy would you lie about Danything at all'
GFirst the window, Amthen it's to the wall
CLil' Jon, he Dalways tells the Gtruth
