Oh Woe chords by Benjamin Gibbard

Chords with lyrics

Song by Ben Gibbard on his debut solo album. No capo. My first tab too, so let's hope this goes well.


G+G      C majorC   G+G
Oh, woe why do you stay
E minorEm          C majorC   G+G
And make me feel this awful way?
  C majorC             FF   C majorC
You filled my heart with your solemn tune
    G+G        C majorC   G+G
And an endless burning bluish hue

   D MajorD       E minorEm  C majorC
It's been a basement of a year
  G+G            C majorC   G+G
And all I want's for you to disappear

  G+G      C majorC     G+G
But oh, woe you caught my eye
   E minorEm          C majorC   G+G
And I thought that I'd give you a try
      C majorC        FF    C majorC
But you're nothing like the way you look
  G+G        C majorC     G+G
In all those famous songs and books

  D MajorD         E minorEm    C majorC
And now I see how you snuff the light
  G+G           C majorC   G+G
And kill the ones who hold you inside

  E minorEm       B minorBm        C majorC     G+G
And I can feel you grow in me like a forest of green
  E minorEm              C majorC
And it's so confounding trying to cut you down
     G+G         D MajorD
Trying to find a place to begin

Solo: G+G C majorC G...

G+G       C majorC     G+G
Oh, woe please hear this plea
  E minorEm      C majorC    G+G
To walk away and leave me be
   C majorC         FF   C majorC
I've weathered more than I can take
     G+G      C majorC   G+G
Of your ever-present lonely ache

   D MajorD        E minorEm  C majorC
It's been a basement of a year
  G+G            C majorC  G+G
And all I want's for you to disappear

   D MajorD       E minorEm  C majorC
It's been a basement of a year
  G+G            C majorC  E minorEm
And all I want's for you to disappear
  G+G            C majorC  G+G
And all I want's for you to disappear.
