The Execution of All Things, Rilo Kiley
___________________________________________________________________________
(Bit before intro is BB)
Intro is just E MajorE
E MajorE
Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
E MajorE
I'm feeling badly, it's not an at-tempt at decency.
E MajorE
And if you're well off, well then I'm happy some for you.
B7B7
But I'd rather not celebrate my de-feat and humili-ation here with
E MajorE
you.
E MajorE
Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.
E MajorE
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out.
E MajorE
Bring with you history, and make your hard earned feast.
B7B7
Then we'll go to Omaha to work and exploit the booming music
E MajorE
scene and hum-ility...
A augmentedA
F#F#
And we've been talking all night...
A augmentedA (hold for 3 bars) A minorAm
E MajorE (repeat)
(lead solo)
E MajorE
Oh god come quickly, the exe-cution of all things.
E MajorE
Let's start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
E MajorE
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbours and kids
E MajorE
Crush all hopes of happiness with dis-ease cause of what you did.
E MajorE
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
B7B7
But sleep never comes to you, it's the guilt and forever wakefulness of
Am7Am7
the weak. It's just you and me.
A augmentedA
The exe-cution of all things.
C# minorC#m
The exe-cution of all things.
A augmentedA
The exe-cution of all things.
E MajorE

*Just in case UG doesn't recognise C#m7sus4, it's this;
9 11 10 11 9 9
I also suggest primarily using barre chords with roots on the E MajorE string
rather than the A augmentedA string. (With the possible exception of Am7Am7 which sounds
nice in the normal position.)
Please don't forget to rate, and do comment if you've spotted something that
I haven't.
