Vampire Weekend - Step chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
This is a great song and the tabs already on here are fine but I just wanted to share how I play this as it's a little different and sounds a little closer to the record for me. I play it with a capo on the 3rd fret. The instructions are for the subsequent chord shapes with the actual chords being played in brackets. Enjoy! [Drum on body of guitar] Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Em(Gm) D(F) C(Eb) G(Bb) C(Eb) D(F) x2 [Verse 1] G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat Em(Gm) D(F) Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam C(Eb) G(Bb) While home in New York was champagne and disco C(Eb) D(F) tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) But actually Oakland and not Alameda Em(Gm) D(F) Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader C(Eb) G(Bb) Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman C(Eb) D(F) I was a hoarder but girl that was back then G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Em(Gm) Badoom Badoom Boom [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/v/vampire-weekend/356359.html ] [Chorus] G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Em(Gm) The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out D(F) What you on about? C(Eb) G(Bb) C(Eb) D(F) I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Em(Gm) I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house D(F) Such a modest mouse, C(Eb) G(Bb) C(Eb) D(F) I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone G(Bb) G/F#([ch]Bb/A[/ch]) Em(Gm) D(F) Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl C(Eb) G(Bb) C(Eb) D(F) [Verse 2] Ancestors told me that their girl was better She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather I just ignore all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife And punks who would laugh when they saw us together Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather I can still see them there huddled on Astor Snow falling slow to the sound of the master [Chorus] The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl [Bridge] (Same chord progression as Verse and Chorus) Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth Age is an honor - it's still not the truth We saw the stars when they hid from the world You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her We know the true death, the true way of all flesh Everyone's dying, but girl - you're not old yet [Chorus] The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out What you on about? I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house Such a modest mouse, I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl  |
