December Sunlight by The The

This is the tab to the song "December Sunlight", a song by The The off their
2000 album "NakedSelf". It's extremely simple, just 4 chords played 
repeatedly. It's originally played on a baritone guitar, so it won't sound
 quite the same on a normal guitar, but close enough. 
Also, the interludes between verses are a guitar effect you can't exactly 
reproduce, so I usually play a quick bounce off of each chord.

The chords are as follows:

    C           Bb          Am
e---0----    e--x----    e--0----
B---1----    B--x----    B--1----
G---0----    G--3----    G--2----
D---2----    D--3----    D--2----
A---3----    A--1----    A--0----
E---x----    E--x----    E--x----

Intro: C Bb Am C

    C                     Bb
The early morning sun lit up her room
       Am                          C
But it wasn’t just a change in the weather
      C                                Bb
She’d read it in her stars and now she felt it in her heart
Am                           C
Life was gonna start getting better
          C
And there was a time when she would pray
          Bb
That each teardrop that rolled down her face
      Am                          C
Would represent a day of pain for him
          C                    Bb
But she’s changing the way she feels
      Am                   C
About wasting her time and tears
C     Bb         Am         C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
C     Bb         Am         C
Cried out, cried out, cried out

(interlude)

C                              Bb
And all the tricks and all the lies
                          Am
He tried to pull over her eyes
                        C
Kept running through her mind
C                    Bb
She looks back in disbelief
                    Am
In confusion and in grief
                   C
At what his secrecy was revealing
        C
You can scream into the pillow
        Bb
You can pray into the night
        Am
But you can’t switch off your feelings
           C
Like you’d switch out the light
          C                    Bb
But she’s changing the way she feels
      Am                   C
About wasting her time and tears
C       Bb        Am         C
Cried out, cried out, cried out
C       Bb        Am         C
Cried out, cried out, cried out

(interlude)

    C                Bb
And now these winter skies
              Am
Turn blue and bright
              C
And she feels alive
             C
And wants to drink every kiss
     Bb
Make up for what she’s missed
Am                      C
And wipe him out of her mind
     C                      Bb
Some day he’ll have to grow up
                    Am
And come clean, and listen to the screams
       C
Of his own conscience
     C
Cry out, cry out, cry out
     Bb
Cry out, cry out, cry out
     Am
Cry out, cry out, cry out,
     C
Cry out, cry out, cry out...


... And she’ll not hear a sound.
