Gypsum Oil Field Fire chords by The Olivia Tremor Control

Chords with lyrics

Simple version:

C majorC A minorAm G+G FF

C majorC    A minorAm         G+G        FF
Surprise party for me in the noon day sun; we wasted the after
C majorC   A minorAm           G+G             FF
By an old black pond, and my life's on the line, and my future is on us

G+G       A minorAm       FF
But out in the Gypsum fields a fire was started, they don't know how,
G+G    A minorAm        FF
But everything was burning down, down to the ground

C majorC     A minorAm         G+G          FF
So when I opened the door to go outside to where I could see y'all,
C majorC    A minorAm        G+G          FF
I could see the glow for miles and miles and miles

G+G       A minorAm       FF
And out in the Gypsum fields a fire was started, they don't know how,
G+G    A minorAm        FF
But everything was burning down, down to the ground

C majorC

Or, if you want to play something over those dissonant sections
where there are several layered guitar tracks playing weird notes,
you'll have to throw a capo on fret one to play the EmAdd9Emadd9 shape:
