Chords

Band: Okkervil River Song: 'Dead Faces' Album: "Down The River of Golden Dreams" Really really simple song. I've never seen a correct tab for it though, so I thought I'd it myself. Walk up from Em to G in the chorus. Intro: G
                         C            G
and we have fun – we go laughing and running

            D                   Am  C
down to the water, there by the sea

          G         C             G
where the body just floats like a rowboat

         D                         Am         C
and the moon's like a harbor light lit in this sky

          Em                        G
and this picture's got a woman who looks like you

      D                       Am           C
and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen

        G             C            G
when it turns out - I hope that it turns out

               D             C            G
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
C G
            C               G
embarcadero train station's empty

      D              Am        C
and I just cannot believe how long it takes

G           C                G
all the way home through the city

               D                               Am               C
and everyone's looking - least, it's nice to believe everyone's looking

     Em                        G
this picture's got a woman who looks like you

      D                       Am           C
and a guy who looks just like someone I've seen

        G             C            G
when it turns out, I hope that it turns out

               D             C            G
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
C G
                     C          G
ghostly faces at my living-room window

             D                        Am           C
they are not scared of me 'cause they know I can't hurt them

     G            C           G
they press up and see, in the lamp-glow

           D                   Am      C
all of the hurt and the love inside of me

           Em       C
it's their final duty

   Em                C
to see right through me

       Em             D
twelve hours 'til the dawn

          Am          D
but we've got to hold on, hold on to me...

                 G
because we'll be running
C G D Am C G C G D Am C
G           C          G
down to the water this morning

             D                   Am   C
well, nobody waits for you to believe

   G              C            G
in ghosts, lit by moonlight or dawning

           D          C       G
or in this picture of you and me
