The Shins – Simple Song (Acoustic)
This is from James Mercer's live versions of this great new song.
Intro D A
D A D A
Well this is just a simple song to say what you done
D A D
I told you about all those fears and away they did run. You sure must
G A G A G A G A D A D A
be strong... and you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
D A D A D A D A
When I was just nine years old I swear that I dreamt
D A D A D A D
Your face on a football field and a kiss that I kept
A G A G A G A G A D A D A
Under my vest, apart from everything but the heart in my chest
Chorus:
Bm A D A G A G A
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Bm A D A G A G A
Don't go thinking you got to be tough, and play like a stone
Bm A D A G A G A G A G
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little home!
D A D A D A D A
My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff
D A D A D A D
You brought me a great big flood and you gave me a lift
A G A G A G
Girl, what a gift And you tell me with your tongue and your
A G A (Bm)
breath goes in my lungs and we float above the rift
Chorus, then break: Em Bm Em Bm(add G) Em Bm G
Repeat first verse Well this is just a...
Bm A D A G A G A
Remember walking the mile to your house aglow in the dark
Bm A D A G A G A
I made a fumbling play for your heart and the axe struck a spark
Bm A D A G A G A
You wore a charm on the chain that I stole especial for you
Bm A D A G A G A
Loves such a delicate thing that we do , with nothing to prove
G A G A D
Which I never knew!

Very good. Do you know the little lick he plays before the chorus?
On the break the second Bm is a D (add the high g).
Besides that great tab!
The lick before the chorus is just a D with a note from the open high e string
e| 2 0
b| 3 etc
Not sure if it's "right", but I just pick out the D for that lick before the chorus instead of playing the A:
e|-2------
b|---3----
g|-----2--
and then just jump into Bm. Sounds fine to me this way.
