Black and White by Parquet Courts (off Sunbathing Animal)


This is the pattern for the intro, bridge, solo, outro, and parts of the verse.

E MajorE               G+G
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +


Intro: E MajorE  G+G (x12)


Verse:

G+G     E MajorE
Nothing makes my heart so wild as being

G+G    E MajorE           G+G
In possession of a potent night,

E MajorE                  G+G
Racing down the stairs in a nude descension

E MajorE
Shedding and discarding my hide

G+G    A augmentedA               C majorC
But the bold strokes crack so quickly and it?s

A augmentedA          G+G
Often that I wonder why

E MajorE                    G+G
Dripping at the slow motion rate of surrender

E MajorE
Hanging to my bones as they dry

G+G     D MajorD
How could I want something more

       A augmentedA
than a new hell in which to fry

G+G   E MajorE             G+G
When I see in only black and white


Bridge: E MajorE  G+G  (x4)

Verse:

G+G     E MajorE
There?s a sinful sort of side of being

G+G     E MajorE            G+G
so contained, A augmentedA bit like being lost.

E MajorE                           G+G
Stumbling through the background like a small town loner

E MajorE                 G+G
quietly a whispering my thoughts into

A augmentedA                C majorC
my cupped hands, folded and monk-like,

A augmentedA                 G+G
at least thats what i?ve always said.

E MajorE                       G+G
How does writing letters from the lonely margins

E MajorE
feel when there is no hair on my head?

G+G    D MajorD            A augmentedA
Is the solitude I seek a trap where i?ve been blindly led?

  G+G    E MajorE             G+G
Tell me, where then do I go instead?


Solo: E MajorE   G+G  (x13)


Verse:

G+G   E MajorE
When atonement comes in distant waves

G+G    E MajorE             G+G
I might wait until the next to break

E MajorE                        G+G
choking through forgiveness at a sun fly prompter

E MajorE
staring through the back of my face.

G+G   A augmentedA             C majorC
It?s a vulgar, hidden part of being

A augmentedA               G+G
tethered to the world right now;

E MajorE                    G+G
spending all my dollars to remain a member,

E MajorE
nothing in my eyes but a scowl.

G+G   D MajorD             A augmentedA
Do i bother to define myself beyond what they allow?

G+G   E MajorE           G+G
Have I already forgotten how?


Outro: E MajorE  G+G  (x3)

Then hang on G+G for a while, then end on E.
