The Alexandria Quartet - Montauk
This song is originally played by two electric guitars, however, since I mostly
play acoustic and only have two hands, I decided to tab a campfire-friendly
version for one half decent performer. Please enjoy, and post your own darn
version if you disagree :) Yeah, and buy the album, it's pretty good!

D D/Db G6 Em7
Verse: Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop
D D/Db G6 Em7
I close my eyes, and I'm like a girl in a crib
D D/Db G6 Em7
Afraid of what might come, but too scared to miss it, I know
D D/Db G6
I wouldn't miss you
Em7
for the world

D D/Db G6 Em7
Verse: But I'm so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame
D D/Db G6 Em7
Cause I led you north, and I can't stop thinking of you
D D/Db G6 Em7
You remind me of somebody else, someone you'd have seen in a film
D D/Db G6
And I wouldn't miss you
A
Bridge: for the world
Em7
So then I pick up my guitar
A
And describe you in a song
Em7
Like so many else did,
A
But not exactly the same way as I
Em7
Cause I describe your peculiar figure
A
And then I form a peculiar song
Em7
And by then you'll have made a difference
Chorus: D D/Db
Oh, let me take you to Montauk
G A Bm
Cause that's where we're meant to be
Em7 A
We'll hit the road when you come back
G A
And I'll walk you to the beach
Solo: D D/Db G6 Em7
A Bbdim7 Bm
D D/Db G6 Em7
A Bbdim7 Bm
(chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or
call a friend with a Stratocaster)
Em A Bbdim7
Chorus: Oh, let me take you to Montauk
Em A Bm
Cause that's where I'm meant to be
Em A
We'll hit the road when you come back
G A Em7
And I'll take you to the beach
Bbdim7 G
I know you'd like to see the beach
