Band: Okkervil River
Song: 'Dead Faces'
Album: "Down The River of Golden Dreams"
Really really simple song. I've never seen a correct tab for it though, so I thought I'd
it myself.
Standard tuning.
Walk up from Em to G in the chorus.
Intro: G
C G
and we have fun – we go laughing and running
D Am C
down to the water, there by the sea
G C G
where the body just floats like a rowboat
D Am C
and the moon’s like a harbor light lit in this sky
Em G
and this picture’s got a woman who looks like you
D Am C
and a guy who looks just like someone I’ve seen
G C G
when it turns out - I hope that it turns out
D C G
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
C G
C G
embarcadero train station’s empty
D Am C
and I just cannot believe how long it takes
G C G
all the way home through the city
D Am C
and everyone’s looking - least, it’s nice to believe everyone’s looking
Em G
this picture’s got a woman who looks like you
D Am C
and a guy who looks just like someone I’ve seen
G C G
when it turns out, I hope that it turns out
D C G
I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed
C G
C G
ghostly faces at my living-room window
D Am C
they are not scared of me 'cause they know I can’t hurt them
G C G
they press up and see, in the lamp-glow
D Am C
all of the hurt and the love inside of me
Em C
it’s their final duty
Em C
to see right through me
Em D
twelve hours 'til the dawn
Am D
but we’ve got to hold on, hold on to me...
G
because we’ll be running
C G D Am C
G C G D Am C
G C G
down to the water this morning
D Am C
well, nobody waits for you to believe
G C G
in ghosts, lit by moonlight or dawning
D C G
or in this picture of you and me
