Local Natives (formerly cavil at rest) is an indie rock band based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. After the three founding members originally met in high school, a bassist and a drummer were found, and they all moved to a house in Silver Lake in 2008 to record their album. Their debut album as Local Natives, &quot;Gorilla Manor&quot;, was released in the UK on Nov 2nd, 2009, and saw a US release date of Feb. 16th, 2010.

Originaire de Silver Lake, près de Los Angeles, le groupe Local Natives marche dans les pas de Talking Heads et Vampire Weekend. Son premier album Gorilla Manor paru fin 2009 propose une mixture afro pop réjouissante.  Le quintette Local Natives, nommé précédemment Cavil As Rest, vit à Silver Lake, dans la banlieue de Los Angeles (Californie, Etats-Unis) et se compose de Taylor Rice (guitare, chant), Kelcey Ayer (claviers, percussions), Ryan Hahn (guitare), Andy Hamm (basse) et Matt Frazier (batterie). 

Local Natives (zuvor bekannt unter dem Namen cavil at rest) sind eine Independent-Rockband aus Silver Lake, Los Angeles, USA. Ihr Debut-Album Gorilla Manor wurde zuerst in Gro

Banda americana de indie pop y folk formada en 2008.  Ahora que eso de mezclar ritmos tribales con indie pop está tan de moda, Local Natives son de las mejores bandas de eso que algunos llaman afro-indie. El quinteto de Silver Lake (paisanos de los niños que les hacen los coros a Dead's Man Bones) pasará por España con excusa de la presentación oficial de Gorilla Manor, un disco en el que mezclan (y aciertan) las armonías vocales y el empaque folk de de Crosby Stills Nash &amp; Young o los Zombies con un poco de post-punk y un mucho de afro-beat.

F                C                A#
that i could get by on a smile and a wink
Dm                           C

Down into the river baby

Listen to the sound
                                F  Dm     C
It's something only god knows
C                         G
You figure it out, I can't stay

Water's in the clouds

Is my life about to change?
C                   Dm    G
Who knows, who cares

C                       G
So we took a van down to colorado
                                  Em
Where we ran into the dead
                              G
I took you by the hand

Know

Take into account that it's not about to change
C                  Dm      G
Who knows, who cares

C
You could let it down

Jump into the river baby

Easy as it sounds
                                     F
It's never quite as easily done
       C                                G
The current has us now, it's ok

              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
