Simple Song. There's not real guitar in the song mostly electronic synth repeating: You can do them as regular open chords, but I would expect Vampire Weekend to play them down the neck on the higher strings. So I would suggest playing them as bar chords, but only the 3 high strings. Or I also find this is the easiest way to pick the chords. A e|---5------5---| B|-----5-------5| G|-6------6-----| D e|--5-----5----| B|----5-----5--| G|7-----7------| E e|--7-----7---| B|----7-----7-| G|9-----9-----| A* e|--9------9----| B|----10-----10-| This weird A is used at the of the verses. G|9------9------| [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/v/vampire-weekend/210902.html ] A D Then it's your business A E A modern piece of glasswork A D Down on the corner that A E You walk each day in passing A D The elderly sales clerk A E With eyes full of suspicion A D A* The whole corporation's giving it permission The little stairway A little bit of carpet A pair of mirrors that Are facing one another Out in both directions A thousand little Julias That come together In the middle of Manhattan Chorus: The chorus has the same chord progression running beneath it, but there is a synth playing A and then D. You waited since lunch It all comes at once Around the corner The house that modern art built I ask for modern art To keep it out the closet The people who might own it The sins of pride and envy And on the second floor The Richard Cera Skate Park Waited since lunch It all comes at once Along the park walk Ask all of our questions While all the horses Race taxis in the winter Look up at the buildings Imagine who might live there Imagining you're walking On a bowl upon the sing there You waited since lunch It all comes at once This riff is also played every so often. In the beginning Ezra only plays the first 3 but plays more as the song progresses. e|-----------------| B|----10-9-7-------| G|-----------9-7-6-| D|-----------------| A|--7--------------| E|-----------------| |
