Single for the new album, On Oni Pond, out September 10th, 2013.
Chord progression is very basic and stays consistent throughout the song.
You can play the bass notes and drop them down easily also, sort of like this:
G F#/G Em D(riff)
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------2-------------------|
D|--------0------------2-----0-2-4---------------------|
A|--------2------2-----2-------------------------------|
E|--------3------2-----0-------------------------------|
or do whatever you like to incorporate the riffs and bass parts in.
Anyways, main chords are:
G Bm Em D (repeat)
and the organ/synth solo is pretty basic in key, but you can jazz it up a bit
to make it sound like it belongs on guitar.
Support this amazing experimental rock band-
they don't get enough credit- by buying their album on September 10th!
And if you ever have the chance, see them live
they're one of the craziest an awesomest bands ever in that category.
Have fun!

There's a knock at your door
You don't even recognize the stranger
It's you from before
Trying to warn you all about the dangers
There's a hole in your head
At least that's what everybody's guessing
It's why you're always misread
It's why you sleep but you never feel rested
You never get your rest in
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when your body's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over from you
There's a call on the phone
You don't even recognize the number
It's an old episode
Of trying to put the lightening on the monster
Of the life you have led
That is always a mess
Are you dreaming of death?
Are there ghosts in your chest?
Are you always so restless?
Yes you are
Is that hard?
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when your body's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over from you
Is it all a game of bait and switch your brains
And follow your leaders to hell
Is it all the same vein of insane
As drinking from a poisoned well
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
Cause this one that I'm in has let me down once again over time
And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine
Cause this one that I'm in has let me down once again over time
Hold onto your heart
Hold it high above flood waters
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody drag it under
Hold onto your heart
Even when the whole world's bitter
Hold onto your heart
Never let nobody take it over
Ever it take it over
Ever it take it over...
Ever it take it over from yo
