Okkervil River - Song of Our So-Called Friend
Tabbed by Alex Kandabarow alex[dot]kandabarow[at]gmail[dot]com
Okkervil River: htt://www.jound.com/okkervil/
Standard Tuning
A Bm
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you
F#m D Dsus2
while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through your home?
A Bm
It’s pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew,
F#m D Dsus2
in time, he’d tell his tale the way he’d like it told.
F#m Bm
Now he isn’t on the phone,
Bm D
and his story might as well be so.
A Bm
Well, loving is as loving does, and I’d say we should know,
F#m D Dsus2
because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone.
A Bm
Your face’s falling tears, to me they’re lovely and they’re dear,
F#m D Dsus2
though you don’t love me and it’s clear that I will never see you in my arms.
F#m Bm
There’s no room in your heart
Bm D Dsus2
for even this finely-sharpened dart;
A F#m Bm D A
although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn’t so.
Bridge: A Bm F#m D Dsus2
F#m Bm D A
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.
A Bm
The water cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, the summer ends;
D A
our so-called friend doesn’t need you.
A Bm
So proceed out the door and down the street. December’s lying near,
F#m D Dsus2
but in the oven’s heat this house is now a home.
A Bm
Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear,
F#m D Dsus2
that you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone.
F#m Bm
Although I put my lips to your face,
Bm D
trying to push his kiss out of its place,
A F#m Bm D A
although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I’ll let it go.
End: A Bm F#m D (X2) A
