The same chord progression is used throughout the entire song. Also, these are the same chords used in a much earlier Okkervil River song titled "Murderess." F#m D C#m Bm Wh-oooo wrote those˙lines on the wall?˙ A G#m F#m E Let's˙retrace where they˙scrawled ancient˙characters.˙ It's 2:00, and your sister's slip falls,˙ and the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her.˙ [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/okkervil-river/287379.html ] I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through,˙ because I don't believe that you might be a murderess.˙ But I saw inside each small, dark eye as it was turning blue,˙ all the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest. Moved by the rhyme in the psalm,˙ we agreed that it was wrong, and to believe in it.˙ Oooh!, swooned the wall all night long.˙ But a lie's a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it.˙ I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue,˙ with a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it.˙ But I saw inside each small white lie, as it was turning true,˙ the ability to do all things expected of it. Oh, murderess, in the wilderness. With your victims all around you.˙ As their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in,˙ now I'm ready, too, with my throat to you.˙ On this mountain. By this moon.˙ And what I want the most to do is prove that I'm not like them. |
