Blue Spotted Tail

Starts in C

   C        F C   Em                 F
So now I am older than my mother and father
Em                  Am
When they had their daughter
    G              F         G    G7
Now what does that say about me?

   C           F     C  Em                  F
Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
Em              Am
Could I wash my hands of
G            F       G    G7
Just looking out for me?

   F                  Am
Oh man what I used to be
   G       F      G   G7
Oh man, oh my, oh me

   C            F C    Em                     F
In dearth or in excess both the slave and the empress
Em                 Am
Will return to the dirt I guess
G        F         G    G7
Naked as when they came

  C         F    C   Em        F
I wonder if I'll see any faces above me
Em                    Am
Or just cracks in the ceiling
G      F         G   G7
Nobody else to blame

   F                  Am
Oh man what I used to be

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

     C              F    C   Em                  F
Gold teeth and gold jewelry; every piece of your dowry
Em                  Am
Throw them into the tomb with me
G         F       G    G7
Bury them with my name

C             F   C   Em               F
Unless I have someday ran my wandering mind away
Em  Am
Hey hey

Oh man, oh my, oh me

Montezuma

According to the Helplessness Blues Songfacts, the song finds Robin Pecknold reflecting on how the self-centered individualism of his youth has influenced him as a white American adult. He explained to the UK newspaper The Independent: &quot;I wanted that song to be a completely open opinion, with no kind of poetry, if you know what I mean. It's hard to articulate without it sounding really reductive, but I was born in the Eighties, a time of relative plenty in the United States, so I felt like the 'individual' thing was really emphasized when I was a kid...

Verse 1:
E
I was raised up believing 
A
I was somehow unique
B
Like a snowflake unique among snowflakes
A                              E
Unique in each way you can see

Verse 2:
E
And now after some thinking
A
I'd say I'd rather be
B
A functioning cog in some great machinery
A                              E
Serving something beyond me

Chorus:
E                              A
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
E                              A                                  E
I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see.

Verse 3: 
E
What's my name, what's my station?
A
Oh, just tell me what I should do
B
I don't need to be kind to the armies of the night
A                            E
That would do such injustice to you

Verse 4:
E
Or bow down and be grateful
A
And say, "Sure, take all that you see."
B
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
A                        E
And determine my future for me

Chorus
E                           A
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
E                       A                   E
I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see

Verse 6: 
E
If I know only one thing
A
It's that everything that I see
B
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A                       E
Often I barely can speak
E
Yeah, I'm tongue-tied and dizzy
A
And I can't keep it to myself
B
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
A                      E
Why should I wait for anyone else?

Chorus:
E                              A
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
E                          A                      E
I'll come back to you someday, soon myself

Instrumental: E

Choral Section:
E                    A
If I had an orchard
E           A           (Aadd9)
I'd work till I'm raw
A6                E
And if I had an orchard
A       Asus4             A
I'd work till I'm sore

E                    A
And you would wait tables
E           A        Asus4       A
And soon run the store

E              A
Gold hair in the sunlight
E          A           (Aadd9)
My light in the dawn
A6       E          
If I had an orchard
A        Asus4            A
I'd work till I'm sore
(repeat)

E                  A
Someday I'll be 
E                 A
Like the man on the screen

Ooh ooh ooh...

Intro: Am / D7 / G / Em

Verse 1:

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7       G               F       C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   F      C
To banner fair
   F          G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Verse 2:

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7         G            F       C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F       C
They do not
F        G
Know you anymore

Interlude: Am / D7 / G / Em / Am / 
/ G / F / C (keep strumming C)

Chorus:

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

Verse 3:

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went
Am     D7          G            F     C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F       C   F  G
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Chorus:

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true
Em   Am
Jessie
C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon
C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon

Drops In The River

Sun Giant

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
