For The Pier And Dead Shimmering chords by Sunset Rubdown

Chords with lyrics

This was tabbed by Mr. Wings over on indieguitartabs, so 95% of the credit goes to him!
I just tried my hand at the last section that was missing from his, (after the "Verse 6"),
and changed a couple lyrics and chords to what I thought was more correct.


Capo 5

C majorC (x4)

Verse 1:
C majorC           E minorEm
I----I pushed off the pier
      A minorAm
Infinity ran cold
        D MajorD
And filled up my ears
           G+G
There's the weapon you hold;
              FF
There's the thing that you hold it to
         C majorC
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 2:
C majorC         E minorEm
Oh the speed of a year
        A minorAm
It runs the wood dry
      D MajorD
And water unclear
             G+G
There's the thing you hold high;
                  FF
And then there's the thing that you hold it to
         C majorC
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 3:
C majorC       E minorEm    A minorAm       D MajorD
I will be an enemy to men seen in the light!
         G+G
Do you think it's all right?
         FF
Yes I think it's all right!

It's all right!

Verse 4:
        Bb majorBb
If you make the waves
         FF
The sun makes the rays
         Bb majorBb
The speed of the Light
         FF
Can be trusted to prey
        Bb majorBb
To prey on the fools
          FF
That pushed off your pier
         Bb majorBb      FF
The whirling of pools runs clear
        C majorC
Da-da-da-da-da-dum
     A minorAm
Da-da-da-dum
     FF
Da-da-da-dum

Verse 5:
  C majorC
So I'll be out till the shimmering dies
     E minorEm
I said I'll be out till the shimmering dies
     A minorAm
It's the wringing out the predatory nature of the sky
     D MajorD
And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes
     G+G        FF
It's all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!
           C majorC
It's the speed of the light
          E minorEm
It's the speed of a year
          A minorAm
It's the weapon you hold,
            D MajorD
And the thing you hold dear.
         G+G
OH my dear, oh my dear
         FF
It's infinity's time to shine out here

Verse 6:

If you make the waves

The sun makes the rays

The speed of the Light
         FF
Can be trusted to prey
        Bb majorBb
To prey on the fools
          FF
That pushed off your pier
         Bb majorBb      FF
The whirling of pools runs clear
     G minorGm
Da-da-da-dum

The whirling of pools running clear.
