Text File
F'ing awesome song by Vampire Weekend. And a very simple one too.
The real song uses barre chords but these simple, unbarred chords get the job done...
Intro: C - Em - C - Em - F - C
C Em C Em
chestnut park on a saturday night
F C Em C
mystical boys feelin alright
C Em C Em
raggedy wisdom falls from my hand
F C Em F C
as the ladies of cambridge know who i am
F C (play chord, then palm mute)
I've held dreams of boston all of my life
F C
chinatown between the sound of the night
Em F C
but if you leave i just don't think i could take it
F C
take it
F C
take it
F C
take it
Repeat Intro: C - Em - C - Em - F - C
C Em C Em
graveyard freaks we're fallin in style
(couldn't find the exact lyrics for this part, sorry)
F C
I've held dreams of boston all of my life
F C (play chord, then palm mute again)
chinatown between the sound of the night
Em F C
but if you leave i just don't think i could take it
F C
take it
F C
take it
F C

C - Em - C - Em - F - C
F C (play chord, then palm mute)
I've held dreams of boston all of my life

(for this part play chords slowly & only once)
Em
cos when you left my room
F
to go to the kitchen
G C
i imagined that you were dead
Em (play a little faster)
a morbid steak runs through

the whole of my family
F G C
but for you i could put it to rest
Em F C
but if you leave i just don't think i could take it
