Chords

The Swell Season After playing through the other tab that's up here, all the chord structures seemed correct, but it sounds better with a capo on the second fret so I figured I'd take their tab and just write in the chords after capo. All chords are relative to capo. As well, a large part of the song is simply the strumming style mixed with all of the muted strums on the strings (and that awesome reverb), so be sure to listen to the actual song to know the general pattern. Capo II [Intro] Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am [Verse]
Fmaj7                    Am
  Cut the bonds with the moon

Fmaj7              Am
  And let the dogs gather

Fmaj7                   Am
  Burn the gauze in the spoon

Fmaj7          Am
  And suck the poison up

    G   F Am
And bleed
[Verse]
Fmaj7                  Am
  Shut the door to the moon

Fmaj7                    Am
  And let the birds gather

Fmaj7                   Am
  Play no more with the fool

Fmaj7                    Am
  And let the souls wander

    G  F Am
And bleed

         G F Am
From the soul
[Chorus]
  Em   F             C/G
A slow hurt.. and it breaks us..

    Em    F
And so down,

C/G               Em
Down, down and so plain

   F
So down

         C/G               Em    F
When you play some more it seems so

       C/G                   Em
And my friends are past this game

        F
Of breakdowns

        C/G                      Em
And our friends that are lost at sea..

      F
Throw down

         C/G              Em
And I'll break the wasted space

     F              C/G
Slow down, slow down,

       Em         F          C/G
If you don't slow down, slow down

       Em         F          C/G
If you don't slow down, slow..
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am [Verse]
Fmaj7                    Am
  Cut the bonds with the moon

Fmaj7                Am
  And watch the dogs gather
