The New Pornographers — Adventures in Solitude
ubi_rex@hotmail.com I haven?t put all of the chords over the first letter of the word because many of the words are sung slightly before the chord. I hope this makes sense. I put brackets around chords where the song stays on the same chord through two measures, but doesn?t emphasize it the second time. Any suggestions, especially lyrical, are welcome. There are a few extras at the bottom. G C D G C C D G C D Balancing on, one wounded wing G C So clean me up, shove the never ending G C D G The best of the vampish marbles are gathered inside your door C D More than begin, but less than forget G C What spirit born from the not happened yet G C D G Gathering there to pay off a debt from back from the wars C D G C We thought we lost you We thought we lost you G C D G We thought we lost you Welcome back G C D G C D Sleeping for years through what is left G C Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth G C D G From the ring water well deep as a secret nobody knows C D Less than forget but more than begun G C These adventures in solitude never done G C D G To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars C D G C We thought we lost you We thought we lost you G C D G We thought we lost you It will all come back G C D G C C D G (I can?t tell what?s being sung in this next part, so until I can find some lyrics, I?m just going to put the chords and some timing. I put a guess at the lyrics in the extra notes. 4 beats to a measure. Note Em and D only get half a measure.) 1 2341 23 41 2341 234 Bm Em D C G x3 BEDCC C D G G C D G Repeat all that Extra notes: If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion, D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the middle and it should fall into place. Someone?s quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and first verse (that I can hear), and here?s what s/he?s playing. G C D G C (or second time) ------------------------------------------------- ---1--1-3--3---3------------0--0-3-----1--------- 0---0--0-----------------0---0--0---0------------ repeat ----------------4-2-4-------------------4-2-4-2-- ----------------------0-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Sometimes the guitar does this (this part quieter) --5-7-5-3-2-3----3-7-5)- ---------------(3------- ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ Here?s my wild guess for the lyrics on the last part. Chords I don?t mind, but I hate figuring out lyrics. Bm Em D I know you want to... wait for, wait for, C G and now it?s come at a bad time Bm Em C some cold lays, some countless ways C G For all we know Bm Em D I know you need to breathe through my mouth, come to C G but it?s come at a bad time Bm Em D Some how a fly in the tangle of days C G For all we know
