Deer Tick
"Smith Hill"
*Capo on 2
So I just started getting into Deer Tick, and to my dismay I
only ran across some very mediocre tabs. Hope this one
helps somebody out, it's a fantastic song! Although there are
two guitars when they play it, both live and on the record, I
tabbed it so that one person could possibly play it and this is
the way that I've played it live. Sounded awesome, so here ya guys go.
Enjoy!

0-2-4 walk-up on A string
[Verse 1]
D G
Elbows on the window sill
D A
My head against the pane
Bm G
You've seen so many grow and die
D A
But you forgot most of their names
0-2-4 walk-up on A string
[Verse 2]
D G
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
D A
And I hope that it never comes down
Bm G
Unless you're coming with it
D A
It's better with you around
[Instrumental]
Bm G D A
Bm G D A
[Verse 3]
D G
I could drink myself to death tonight
D A
Or I could stand and give a toast
Bm G
To those who made it out alive
D A
It's you I'll miss the most
[Verse 4]
D G
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
D A
I've got a fifty dollar bill
Bm G
But somewhere in her weak heart
D A
She knows I never will
[Chorus]
(distortion)
Bm G5 D5 A5
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
Bm G5 D5 A5
True love, it's hard to find it
Bm G5 D5 A5
Though I was once beside it
Bm G5 D5 A5
I've fallen far behind it
[Verse 5]
D5
from a tiny room up on Smith Hill
A (clean)
It's easy to disappear
Bm G
It's easier to run off hiding
D A
Then say "I don't want you here"
[Verse 6]
D G
I can't stand to face the facts
D A
It'd only leave you hurt
Bm G
I don't care much for what you have to say
D A
But I'd like to know what you heard
[Chorus]
(distortion)
Bm G5 D5 A5
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
Bm G5 D5 A5
True love, it's hard to find it
Bm G5 D5 A5
Though I was once beside it
Bm G5 D5 A5
I've fallen far behind it
[Bridge]
G D D7
It's a long way free
G D
You can't tread on me
C G
And in the morning when you're crying
A
You'll see
[Outro]
