now go find a dj and start the modest mouse grill cooking
Slow walk, it's land mine
It's coal mine, it's a bad thought
On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I'm on my way to God don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
Inward and outward
In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo
We tore one down, and erected another there
The match of the century, absence versus thin air
On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal
On this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow, the days go slow
On the way to God don't know
My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal
I'm tried getting my head clear
I push things out through my mouth, I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears, I get refilled through my ears
I'm on my way to God don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore,
the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
Inward and outward
In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo
We tore one down, and erected another there
The match of the century, absence versus thin air
Absence versus thin air
On this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow

Second Guitar
IMO I think this part has no structure. I've listened to the song over and over and it
so you could play whatever on this second guitar.

There's also some harmonics and the main riff played partially at the end of the song
Slow walk, it's land mine

My brain's the burger, and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear

I get refilled through my ears
I get refilled through my ears
I'm on my way to God don't know or even care
My brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
The ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
Inward and outward
In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo

I get refilled through my ears, I get refilled through my ears

My heart's the long stairs, my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore,

Inward and outward
In this place that I call home
My brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
My heart's the bitter buffalo

The match of the century, absence versus thin air
Absence versus thin air
On this life that we call home
The years go fast and the days go so slow
The days go so slow

version 3
Tuning: Standard
This here's the lead riff heard after the 12th measure and is 100% accurate until the
(tabbed) measure. This pattern is not repeated as far as I know, however these 5 notes
noodled around with subsequently in the remainding measures with the exception of an
A on the 5th fret of the 'e' string every now and again.
