DETLEF SCHREMPF - Band of Horses
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Onkel
Tuning: Standard
This tab is not exactly the way the song is played. This is my version transcribed
for one guitar and is mainly based on the lead guitar although I have made some
changes and opened the song up for a better fit on one acoustic (try to keep all
strings ringing constantly). Listen to the song and use this tab as inspiration or
your play (if you wish). Enjoy!

Order of play:
Opening lick
Intro (Pattern A one time without lyrics)
Verse 1 (Pattern A two times with lyrics)
And take a little walk when the worst is to come
When I saw you looking like I never thought
And say you're at a loss or forgot
that words can do more than harm
Prechorus (Pattern A one time with lots of aaaah-iing)
Verse 2 (Pattern A two times with lyrics)
The town is gonna talk, but these people do not
See things through to the very minimal
But what's it gonna cost to be gone?
If we see you like I hoped we never would
Prechorus (Pattern A one time with lots of aaaah-iing)
Chorus (Pattern B two times with lyrics)
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
Chorusend lick
Intro again (no lyrics)
Verse 3 (Pattern A two times with lyrics)
So take it as a song or a lesson to learn
And sometime soon be better than you were
If you say you're gonna go, then be careful
And watch how you treat every living soul
Prechorus (Pattern A one time with lots of aaaah-iing)
Chorus (Pattern B two times with lyrics)
My eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
Extended chorusend lick (play first half of the lick 3 times and then finish it
