This is off Jack & Faye. You can listen to it at the official site
This tab sounds right to me (note: its different from the tab they have posted on the Mountain Goats site,
is wrong, try playing it along with the song and you'll see what I mean.)
Flat tuning
Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
play the chords as you would if it was in standard tuning, first position.
D Bb A G
D on the shores of a lake named after a late queen of england Bb i heard new rumors of war. A the sun was a red ball up in the summer sky. G i saw my sister standing in the doorway. D she had that look on her face that reminded me of you. Bb the reports were coming hourly and the sky was blue. A they were shifting the power again. G they always do this when i come home.
D Bb A G
D i tucked my shirt in, though i don't know why. Bb shielded my eyes from the light up in the sky A 'cause it was shining, blazing, like a highway flare G in the incredibly impossibly dry air D i heard my mother call my sister to the kitchen again Bb and thought that everything was headed straight down the drain A they positioned themselves in strategic locations G i was beginning to lose my patience. D G if you'll just put your hand in mine, D A we're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
