Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

Fleet Foxes

Text File

The song is tuned down a half-step, but you can play it normal and it sounds pretty 
It's in 6/8 and the key of C (well, B once it's tuned down, but you get the idea)

Intro: Am / D7 / G / Em

Verse 1:

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7       G               F       C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   F      C
To banner fair
   F          G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Verse 2:

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7         G            F       C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
F       C
They do not
F        G
Know you anymore

Interlude: Am / D7 / G / Em / Am / 
/ G / F / C (keep strumming C)

Chorus:

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true

Verse 3:

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went
Am     D7          G            F     C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
F       C   F  G
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Chorus:

C    F      G         C
Dear shadow alive and well
C            F    G
How does the body die
    C       D7                   G
You tell me everything, anything true
Em   Am
Jessie
C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon
C                 Bb     C
I don't know what I have done
Bb          C             Bb   C
I'm turning myself into a demon

Outro: Am / D7 / G / Em
       Am / D7 / G / Em
