Artist: The Decemberists Song: Rox In the Box Album: The King Is Dead Tabbed by: Don Tago Email: [email protected] Capo II [Intro] Am C Em Am Am C Em Am [Verse 1]
        Am                      C                        G
Get the rox in the box, get the water right down to your socks

     Em                                  Am
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones

       Am                   C               G
We all do what we can, we endure our fellow man

       Em                                           Am
And we sing our songs to the headframe's creaks and moans
[Chorus 1]
         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, on the wrong side of the lee

              G                        Am
What were you meant for, what were you meant for

         F                                C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line

    G                                             Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

    G                      E7/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
[Interlude] Am C Em Am Am C Em Am [Verse 2]
        Am                        C                     G
And you won't make a dime on this gray granite mountain mine

   Em                                      Am
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return

   Am                             C                         G
So while we're living here, let's get this little one thing clear

        Em                                        Am
There's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turn
[Chorus 2]
         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, on the wrong side of the lee

              G                        Am
What were you meant for, what were you meant for

         F                                C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line

    G                      E7/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

    G                      E7/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
[Interlude] Am C Em Am Am C Em Am Am C G Em Am Am C G Em Am [Chorus 3]
         F                       C
And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee

              G                          Am
What were you meant for, whatever you're meant for

         F                                C
And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shovel back in line

    G                                             Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

    G                      E7/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again

    G                      E7/G#                  Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
[Outro] Am C Em Am
