-SONG-
[Intro i-ii-iii]
C G
i pick up a broken comb
Em G
run it through my thin grey hair
Am Em
though i don't have any plans tonight
C G
i'm not going anywhere
C G
well i should have seen this coming
Em G
don't know why i'm surprised
Am Em
cos every vessel on its way down
C
takes with it the captain's life
[see "though i'm blind..." tab above]
though i'm blind my dear i see
the parade goes on without me
my body aches my mind it weeps
for you .... for you
[Intro i x2]
C G
tonight i'm locked outside my building
Em G
guess i must have lost the keys
Am Em
so i'll just sit on the sidewalk
C G
and let the snow fall on my knees
C G
and if i made it to a payphone
Em G
i don't know who i would call
Am Em
so for now i'll close my eyes and rest
C
my crooked back against the wall
[G-G2 x3]
C G
i read that old men will see visions
Em G
and young men will follow dreams
Am Em
and i believed it when i read it
C G
i see your face in everything
C G
now your honey jars are frozen
Em G
and in the window your books have browned
Am Em
and there's too much room inside our bed
C
i think i'll join you in the ground
[see "though i'm blind..." tab above]
though i'm blind my dear i see
let the chorus sing without me
my body breaks my mind it sleeps
C C2
with you oh oh oh
[G-G2 x3 - G]

I'm totally in love with this song and this tab is the best I've seen

Apologies! Just replaying through my old tab. I don't know how I left out two chords, but there's a Dsus2 and a D#+ missing from the chords/pattern.
E A D G B e
Dsus2 = X 5 4 0 3(0)
D#+ = X 6 5 4 4 X
The Dsus2 comes in on the *see* of "...though I'm blind my dear I *see*" (and again on the *me* of "...parade moves on without *me*," same for "...chorus sing without *me*").
The D#+ comes in on the *weeps* of "...body aches my mind it *weeps*" (same for "...body breaks my mind it *sleeps*").
Hope that helps.

No dynamic chord progressions. All hard coded in. Impossible to transpose and thus hard for piano playing.
