Chords

I saw another tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed the author got it parts of it incorrect Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help you sound just like the band. I think Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you can be, by the way! ----------------------- -Written by Kevin Barnes -Performed by of Montreal -----------------------

In the beginning the guitar plays higher in the neck besides the barred chords in the
rest of the song.

*comes later in the song. I put it up here to save space.

Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to Dm/A is the only part that I am not totally convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily. ----------Chords------------ Hector Ormanos my favorite boxer

Gm       F           Ebm     Adim
He goes smasho and Every one cheers

Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb

Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F
He turns big men to whimpering cowards

    Gm        F       Ebm        Adim
Hes so strong and how I adore him.

Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F Change to Ab 2/4: But Im so weak.

Cm         Db
So much so that Im afraid to walk alone down my street

Eb                                                        Ab
I know Ill never be as brave as Hector Ormano!

Cm/Eb Db (Same Chords as before) Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer His smile is so white like elephant ivory Hes so handsome and all of his girlfriends Are tall and blonde with hourglass curves (Same Chords As before) But I don't know many girls And I certainly dont know any girls like that Even if I did I wouldn't be as cool as Hector Ormano Change to Db 2/8(?): One summer day I was sitting on the bridge

Db   Bbm      Ab       Gb              Ab
Looking at the water below

Ab7                   Db
When I hear some laughter and a familiar voice

            Db     Ab  Bbm              Ab  Gb Ab
Coming from down the road.

Ab7                       Db
It was then that I saw and my heart nearly dropped

    Cm/Eb                       Gb
I saw Hector Ormano with some friends

       Cm/Eb                      Gb
And as they approached my mind went blank

    Ab            Gb
As I struggled to find the words

            Ab
I was dying to tell him

Ab7 Db Ooh Bbm Fm Gb Ab->7 Db As Hector walked by he picked up a stick

     Db       Ab    Bbm      Ab     Gb   Ab
And threw it at my head

Ab7                    Db
His friends went quiet and Hector said to me

   Db         Ab     Bbm                 Ab  Gb Ab
What are you looking at wimp?

Ab7                    Db
