using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret.
Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord.
 
Verse:
E
You expected my war diaries
    B
But time ran out and I, I let you down
        A
A small thanks note written in French
           B
is no shorthand for this thing gave me writers cramp.
 
E
Had a dream about shapeshifting
     B
Well we move with such elegance
          A
With such grace
                           B
With all our dignity just in place
 
 
For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick.
 
E|-7-|
B|-9-|
G|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|-0-|
 
E
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
 
Verse:
        E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
        B                             A
To get across a sense of impending doom
                                   B
And the leaves like the outward to major leagues
                                        E
They're like the foxes on the hard shoulder
 
And for some reason I think that I have twisted
     B
This story to the fight last year and it turned out
              A
that this is it so he goes to back his track
                            B
and for the signs we never signed
 
[Chorus]
 
Breakdown:
 
(Play an E chord, building up gradually)
 
E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get across a sense of impending doom
And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
And there are little more than pictures
of how I see you on an x-ray machine
Its more like a television screen and you're in iraq
And I know that you know what I mean
And I realise, sensation hits
Not even two girls requires to have a sailor smile.
 
(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord
just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as
as possible.)
 
 
Post-Chorus:
 
(Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A
at the end of each line)
 
   E   A
E|-7---12-|
B|-9---14-|
G|-9---14-|
D|-9---14-|
A|-7---12-|
E|-0------|
 
E               A
Turn up on your doorstep
E            A
Feeling like roadkill
E           A
Decent like postage stamps
E               A           E              A
And when I turn to you, you feeling like i never know
E            A
Everything I ever wrote
E           A
Pouring out of your mouth.
 
End on E
