Chords with lyrics
"Song of Our So-called Friend" by Okkervil River
Album: Black Sheep Boy
Tabbed by: Brandon Madsen (brandon dot madsen at gmail dot com)
There are two existing tabs up on the site at the time I am posting this, and neither is quite right.
These are the actual chords (not relative to a capo or anything), and as such can be used for any instrument.
VERSE 1:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m
your home? It?s pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew in time, he?ll tell his tale
D MajorD
the way he?d like it told.
F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
Now he isn?t on the phone. His story might as well be so.
VERSE 2:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
Well, loving is as loving does, and I?d say we should know, because we both have loved and lost and are alone.
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m
Your face?s falling tears, to me they?re lovely and they?re dear, though you don?t love me and it?s clear that
D MajorD
I will never see you in my arms.
F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
There?s no room in your heart for even this finely-sharpened dart.
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn?t so.
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
BRIDGE:
F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.
F# minorF#m B minorBm
The water cools; the leaves, they fall; the sun, it bends;
D MajorD A augmentedA
the summer ends; our so-called friend doesn?t need you.
VERSE 3:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m
So proceed out the door and down the street. December?s lying near, but in the oven?s heat this house is now a
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
home. Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear, that you cannot love me because you secretly
still love a stone.
F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
Though I put my lips to your face, trying to push his kiss out of its place...
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I?ll let it go.
INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m D MajorD
A augmentedA
(I am ignoring the more ambient outro that continues for 40 more seconds after the song has basically ended)
