Funeral

Band Of Horses

Text File

I listened to the song closely and during the intro the guitarist is sliding through
first chord shapes. There is also a bit of delay. In order to do that, you have to use
shapes than what have already been listed (and, also, you'll need an amp with effects to
the delay). So...here's the tab in the best form I can give you (this is my first atempt
a tab).

Enjoy. This is a great new band. I had the chance to see them when they toured with Iron
Wine. Check out their debut LP on Sub Pop - several great tracks along with Funeral.
not 100% on the lyrics, though I think they're closer than what I've seen before.)

And to know you is hard we wonder

And every occasion I'll be ready for the        funeral
And every occasion once    more it's called the funeral
Every occasion oh I'm      ready for the        funeral
And every occasion oh one  billion day          funeral

I'm coming up only to shove you down for
And coming up only to show you wrong

To the outside of the dead leaves they are alone
For they died half trees hang their boughs

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
