IMPORTANT! I've seen a lot of debate over this song and how it is played. The
arguments stem from the B bass note in the song, and the appearance of James
Mercer playing on fret 9 on guitar live and in the video. Both of these
observations are correct. Although James Mercer IS definitely playing on 9th fret
(which one would generally assume was an F#), he is actually playing the following chord:
BM7
E|11
B|11
G|11
D|9
A|x
E|x
[Intro]
B C# B C#
[Chorus]
B C# B C# B C#
Called to see if your back was still aligned and your sheets were growing
B C#
grass all on the corners of your bed
B C# B C#
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves, it has too much to do with
B C# B C#
me and secretly I want to bury in the yard
Ebm E
the grey remains of a friendship scarred
[Instrumental]
BM7 C#
BM7 C#
BM7 C#
BM7 C#
[Verse]
BM7 C# BM7 C#
You told us of your new life there, you got someone comin' around gluing
BM7 C# B C#
tinsel to your crown, he's got you talking pretty loud
BM7 C# BM7 C#
You berate, remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
BM7 C# B C#
You say you're still in love, if it true what can be done
Ebm E
It's hard to leave all these moments behind
[Solo]
BM7 C# (x3)
B C#
[Chorus]
BM7 C# BM7 C# BM7 C#
Called to see if your back was still aligned and your sheets were growing
B C#
grass all on the corners of your bed
BM7 C# BM7 C#
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves, it has too much to do with
BM7 C# B C#
me and secretly I want to bury in the yard
Ebm E
the grey remains of a friendship scarred
F#
(4 Bars - this part I'm not sure about, it seems that he's holding an F# on fret 9, but
lifting his pinky to so that he's effectively playing F#-E over and over again in quick succession)
B C# x2
B C# B C# B C#
You tested your metal of doe's skin and petals, while kissing the lipless
B C#
who bleed all the sweetness away
Ebm E B C# x3
Eb E F#
END
*ONE FINAL NOTE: At the build-up to the chorus (just after grey remains of a friendship
scarred), I prefer to play BM7 C# x2, then perform a slide from the barre B on fret 7 up
to C# on 9, then one final BM7 C#. This is roughly what the lead guitar does, and it
REALLY adds something, even on an acoustic guitar.
Thanks for reading! I hope you were able to bear through the crap at the start; I just
wanted to make sure that nobody would be confused. I've wanted to write this tab for a
while, but never found the time. Iâm a massive fan of the Shins, and to see people
arguing over how this song is played deeply saddens me. I really hope that people take this
on board.
If you definitely think this is wrong right off the bat, I implore you to play it along
with the record. Iâve spent plenty of time on this, and Iâm sure it is right! Iâve been
voted down before on a tab (one by one all day) that Iâm still sure is 100% correct
because one guy didnât bother to investigate it properly!
