Dead Faces


Band: Okkervil River Song: 'Dead Faces' Album: "Down The River of Golden Dreams" Really really simple song. I've never seen a correct tab for it though, so I thought I'd it myself. Standard tuning. Walk up from Em to G in the chorus. Intro: G C G and we have fun – we go laughing and running D Am C down to the water, there by the sea G C G where the body just floats like a rowboat D Am C and the moon’s like a harbor light lit in this sky Em G and this picture’s got a woman who looks like you D Am C and a guy who looks just like someone I’ve seen G C G when it turns out - I hope that it turns out D C G I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed C G C G embarcadero train station’s empty D Am C and I just cannot believe how long it takes G C G all the way home through the city D Am C and everyone’s looking - least, it’s nice to believe everyone’s looking Em G this picture’s got a woman who looks like you D Am C and a guy who looks just like someone I’ve seen G C G when it turns out, I hope that it turns out D C G I hope that it turns out the way that you dreamed C G C G ghostly faces at my living-room window D Am C they are not scared of me 'cause they know I can’t hurt them G C G they press up and see, in the lamp-glow D Am C all of the hurt and the love inside of me Em C it’s their final duty Em C to see right through me Em D twelve hours 'til the dawn Am D but we’ve got to hold on, hold on to me... G because we’ll be running C G D Am C G C G D Am C G C G down to the water this morning D Am C well, nobody waits for you to believe G C G in ghosts, lit by moonlight or dawning D C G or in this picture of you and me
