E|--------------------------------------------|
The next bit is quite hard to make it sound good on a guitar, but use a lot of reverb
a bit of distortion.
Epic explosion at 2:30 :
"Then we could be dancing..."
Follow the rhythm with these chords:
e|---------------------| B|---6----8---13---6---| G|---5----7---12---5---| D|---7----9---14---7---| A|---8---10---15---8---| E|---------------------|
Then for the next part:
"To hold you in time..."
e|-----------| B|---8---6---| G|---7---5---| D|---9---7---| A|--10---8---| E|-----------|
After return to the verse part. This should give you the key parts to the song.
Honestly, I think this is the best Animal Collective song ever, except maybe "Purple Bottle".
It's definitely their best on "Merriweather Post Pavillion". Buy it, it's worth every
penny.
