Band: Okkervil River
Song: 'Dead Faces'
Album: "Down The River of Golden Dreams"
Really really simple song. I've never seen a correct tab for it though, so I thought I'd
it myself.
Standard tuning.
Walk up from Em to G in the chorus.
Intro: G
CG
and we have fun ? we go laughing and running
DAmC
down to the water, there by the sea
GCG
where the body just floats like a rowboat
DAmC
and the moon?s like a harbor light lit in this sky
EmG
and this picture?s got a woman who looks like you
DAmC
and a guy who looks just like someone I?ve seen
GCG
when it turns out - I hope that it turns out
DCG
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
CGCG
embarcadero train station?s empty
DAmC
and I just cannot believe how long it takes
GCG
all the way home through the city
DAmC
and everyone?s looking - least, it?s nice to believe everyone?s looking
EmG
this picture?s got a woman who looks like you
DAmC
and a guy who looks just like someone I?ve seen
GCG
when it turns out, I hope that it turns out
DCG
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
CGCG
ghostly faces at my living-room window
DAmC
they are not scared of me 'cause they know I can?t hurt them
GCG
they press up and see, in the lamp-glow
DAmC
all of the hurt and the love inside of me
EmC
it?s their final duty
EmC
to see right through me
EmD
twelve hours 'til the dawn
AmD
but we?ve got to hold on, hold on to me...
G
because we?ll be running
CGDACGCGDACGCG
down to the water this morning
DAmC
well, nobody waits for you to believe
GCG
in ghosts, lit by moonlight or dawning
DCG
or in this picture of you and me
