The Dear Hunter

Text File

i only recently got into The dear hunter and i instantly loved it.
i spent about half an hour figuring out this song which is one of my momentary 
favorites of "life and death".

            Am            E                 Am               E
There was a silver circle sign, and she was standing at the door
               Am                      E                 Am
we pressed our way right through the crowd, or pace was quickened to her  
  E
floor,

             Am                E                  Am                E
there was a single feigning light, and there was silk all on the walls,
           Am               E           Am                E
she had a lot of love to give, I was prepared to take it all
 
"And what did she do next?"
Am             E              Am             E
She had disrobed, and she was waiting on the floor.
             Am              E                  Am            E
She asked me what it was I want, I thought that I wanted it all.

"What did you say?"

E(open)
I said "Stand up and move your body to the bed."
            C
She quickly stood, and slowly turned, and
         E
here's exactly what she said.

F                   D/F#              G                 E/G#
"Please be soft and sweet to me, this life has not been good
E/A   E/B   E/A    A     G    F     E(open)  Dm    C(open)
you   see   its    hard  with such  a        his___tory   

F    E(open)  F    E(open)    F    E(open)
bu___ried     in   mi_________se___ry."

"And what did you do next?"

Am            E            A           E    
I broke a smile reminding that I paid her well.
           Am                 E                Am            E
Her lips returned, and then I felt her hands unbuckling my belt.

"So was it good?"

E(open)
It felt like heaven, but I'm sure she was in hell-
          C                                  E           
I made it clear I'd get my money's worth out of the goods she sells.

F                  E/G#          Am                F
Break and bind yourself to me, deliver what you've sold
               Dm          E/G#                Am
you  see that  I will only take  from you, and use it up.
     A           Dm            E/G#  E/A   E/B         Am
I'll use you up "What was your na__________________me". 

Am
interlude 

F                  E/G#          Am                F
Break and bind yourself to me, deliver what you've sold
               Dm          E/G#                Am
you  see that  I will only take  from you, and use it up.
     A           Dm            E/G#  E/A   E/B         Am
I'll use you up "What was your na__________________me".

i�m sure that i totally nailed the harmonies but of course i cant be 100% sure 
that those are the exact chords played.... but it sounds pretty close to me... let 
me know ehat you think... this is kinda one of my first tabs that i really posted 
but ive been playing for like 12 years so im not one of those "this is my first 
tab - please rate"-kids (which by the way almost always suck!!!)^^
