Grapevine Fires
Death Cab For Cutie
Narrow Stairs
Capo 1
Standard Tuning
All chords in relation to capo
---------
-Verse 1-
---------
Bm D A
When the wind picked up the fire spread
E Bm
And the grapevines seemed left for dead
D A
And the Northern sky looked like the end of days
Fm
The end of days
Bm D A
The wake-up call to a rented room
E Bm
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
D A
To warn us it's only a matter of time
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Bm D A E
Before we all burn
Bm D A Fm
Before we all burn
Bm D A E
Before we all burn
Bm D A (hold A)
Before we all burn
---------
-Verse 2-
---------
Bm D A
We bought some wine and some paper cups
E Bm
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
D A
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
Fm
On a hill
Bm D A
And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
E Bm
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
D A
And there I knew it would be alright
E
That everything
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Bm D A E
Would be alright
Bm D A Fm
Would be alright
Bm D A E
Would be alright
Bm D A (hold A)
Would be alright
--------
-Bridge-
--------
C# D
And the news reports on the radio
A Bm
Said it was getting worse
D Fm
As the ocean air fanned the flames
C#
But I couldn't think
D A Bm
Of anywhere I would of rather been
D E
To watch it all burn away
--------
-Chorus-
--------
Bm D A E
To burn away
Bm D A Fm
Bm D A E
Bm D A (hold A)
Bm D A E
Bm D A Fm
Bm D A E
Bm D A (hold A)
-------
-Outro-
-------
Bm D A
And the firemen worked in double shifts
E Bm
With prayers for rain on their lips
D A (fade)
And they knew it was only a matter of time
I think the Fm should really be an F#m, in relation to the capo. (i.e. a Gm if played normally).
Great tab otherwise.
Awesome tab. Flawless and accurate!
i noticed the same thing as cmoosey... other than that awesome job! Does anyone have a desire to sing "who's alone now it's not me, it's not me..." during the chorus. It's the same chords as that song... i can't help it. it just comes out when i hear/play this song.
