Oh Comely Chords

Oh Comely - Neutral Milk Hotel Album: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Words and music by Jeff Mangum Published by Egg as a Whole Music/BMG songs Inc. This song is surprisingly easy to play. The song is long, but the chords are all very straightforward. All the chords used are E C G D and Am The most heavily used chords are E and C; most of the song is switching between the two. Two different 'bridges' that branch out after "I'll crush him with everything I own^Å E Say what you want to say ^Å.G^Å.E^ÅC^ÅD^Å.G (then a quick series of switches between G and D)

Same thing starting at "Was all you were needing when you still believed in me^Å E Say what you want to say^Å.G^Å.E^Å.. Then when you get to the We know who our enemies are^.... the Am gets some play, and on into the Goldaline my dear^Å I may be missing some chords or slightly off in some areas, but the song is extraordinarily simple and I don't believe there are any other embellishments, I hope that helped.
