THE APOCALYPSE SONG – ST. VINCENT (MARRY ME, 2007) The song sounds kind of ‘detuned’ on purpose, so it can be tricky to play along. [CHORDS] G : (355433) or (320003)
Gm : (355333)
D : (x(0)0323) or (x57775)
C : (x32010) or (x35553) F# : (244322) E : (022100) Bm : (x24432) B : (x24442) NOTE: [Both for G/Gm and B/Bm]. It is easier to shift between MAJOR/minor with your middle finger than changing your hand position. [INTRO] G / Gm G / Gm G / Gm G / Gm [VERSE]

Wait I'll be swifter than the speed of light

Carbon on my body a billion years of time

D                 Gm       C    G        D
You wake with the stitches over both your eyes

And deny me my body and all earthly delights
