This is a tab of "Lenders in the Temple" (aka "That's My Fault" and
"Money Lenders") as performed live at The 400 Bar before the release of
the studio album. The official album was released just a few days after I
finished tabbing this "bootleg" performance, but luckily the versions
only differ slightly; the chords will work for playing the studio version
but some of the words and licks are different.
PERFORMANCE NOTES:
*The riffs I've tabbed out are more for you to get the proper bass/melody
line rather than accurate strumming patterns.
*I dont think Conor plays riff 7, but it sounds like it should be there.
*I tabbed this out completely by ear so please don't get upset if it's
not perfect.

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/conor-oberst-and-the-mystic-valley-band/112561.html ]
Am e
Short delay, the parrot blues
f C
Little voices mimicking
e fM7 Am7/e
It's not so hard to make that sound
Am e
So watch your back, The Ides of March
f C
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
e fM7 Am7/e f
Disguise your will; they'll find you out
[riff 3] E7 [riff 2 x4]
And when they do...
F [Riff 4] G
Look out
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 6] C
The circus tiger's gonna break your heart
G [riff 7] D5/A
Something so wild turned into paper
F [riff 13] G [riff 8] [riff 1] [riff 2 x2]
If I loved you, well that's my fault
Am e
Bitchin' heat, the alpha male
f C
Not something she'd ever tell,
e fM7 Am7/e
Except when she got deathly high
Am e
And out it came, like summer rain
f C
Washed the cars and everything
e fM7 Am7/e f
Felt clean for just a little while
[riff 3] E7 [riff 2 x4] F [riff 4] G
A telethon... We drunk dialed
F [riff 5]G
There's starving children; they ain't got no mother
F [riff 6]C
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
G [riff 7] D5/A
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
F [riff 5]G
If somebody would just take my call
[riff 8]D5/A [riff 9] G
Take my call
D5/A [riff 9] G
Take my call
C
Hello?
F
Patterns in my mind now moving slow
C
Sorrow all across the surface rolls
G
Smoothing out the edges of the stone
D5/A
The lights are out; where'd everybody go?
F [riff 4] [riff 1] [riff 2 x2]
Hello?
Am e
Erase yourself and you'll be free
f C
Mandala destroyed by the sea
e f Am7/e
All we are is colored sand
Am e
So pay to ride the ferris wheel
f C
Smile, all that you can feel
e fM7 Am7/e f
is gratitude for what has been
[riff 3]E7 [riff 2 x4]
'Cause it did not
F [riff 4] G
happen
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 13]G
The circus tiger's gonna break my heart
E [riff 11]F
Something so wild turned into paper
D5/A [riff 12] G
If I loved you, well that's my fault
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 10]G
This crystal city's gonna fall apart
E [riff 11]F
When all their power turns into vapor
D5/A [riff 12] G
If I miss you, well that's my fault
D5/A [riff 9] G
That's my fault
D5/A [riff 9] G
That's my fault
