(Capo 4, Standard Tuning) Newly recorded version of their popular live song, listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-Kox34wgk I'm pretty sure the chords are 100% accurate, but I don't know the correct names. The exact guitar melody that plays through the entire song is a slightly simplified version of what Conor plays. Listen to the song for timing. Kind of a weird song structure with different chord patterns all over the place. Beautiful song though. Oh and first tab so go easy ;) These are some of of the less obvious chords.

Am Fm7 So let's raid the vandal's homes Fm Boys Verse C: C So we ventured out at sunrise Am With our torches and our spears C And our shotguns and our fears Am And our carefully hidden tears C For Cecilia, Cecilia Verse A: Fm C Now I'm thinking of the moment Am Fm When we can look them in the eye C Am Fm And make them sorry, 'cause tonight they're gonna die C Yeah, we'll shoot them up dead! Am Fm7 Leave their bodies where they lie Fm Boys Verse D: C So now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door Am C Every shattered limb repeatedly reminding us of what we're searching for And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim Am C Yes they're quite aware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain Verse A: Fm C They are dreaming of, the feeling of! Am Fm C Am Fm A trophy in their arms, a hero's welcome, claiming women with their charms C Am Fm7 Oh I'm sorry if I hurt you, you know I swear I meant no harm Fm Baby Verse E: C Em7 Am Cm7 So the trail, it keeps on turning as we wander through the streets Fm C Em7 Fm I keep looking at, the pieces of Cecilia at my feet C But the strangest thing occurs to me When I stop to look around Am C Oh I'd swear we are returning to the center of the town! Verse A (Strum once for last verse.): Fm C Yes we're back here, where we started Am Fm C Where Cecilia used to stand, but her sister looks different Am Fm Please, tell me boys, if you can? C Is that a smile on her face? Am Fm7 Is that a hammer in her hand?
