Oh Woe chords by Benjamin Gibbard

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


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

      D              Em   C
It's been a basement of a year
    G                       C     G
And all I want's for you to disappear

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

    D                 Em        C
And now I see how you snuff the light
    G                      C     G
And kill the ones who hold you inside

   Em              Bm                C         G
And I can feel you grow in me like a forest of green
    Em                            C
And it's so confounding trying to cut you down
          G                 D
Trying to find a place to begin

Solo: G C G...

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

     D               Em   C
It's been a basement of a year
    G                       C    G
And all I want's for you to disappear

      D              Em   C
It's been a basement of a year
    G                       C   Em
And all I want's for you to disappear
    G                       C    G
And all I want's for you to disappear.
