I was lucky enough to discover Mitski when at a show for Hundred Waters. I found this song on her Bandcamp and
really like it, so I decided to transcribe it.Im pretty sure most of the voicings that I provide are accurate,
though I didn't take too long to make sure.

I'm pretty sure she plays this in open D, but I never feel like tuning to that so I play it in drop D. The
picking pattern is very simple and can easily be lifted off of the record. The last verse is strummed.
D F# (and all of the others B5
moved to the right root)

[Verse 1]
D F#
All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted
G A
Apologies from the intercom
D F#
And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
G
They'll think of me kindly
A D
When they come for my things
G F# E
They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
D#
Like a blood-sniffing shark
G Bm
And while my dreams made music in the night
G
Carefully
A D
I was going to live
[Interlude]
| D | D | D | D | D | D |
[Verse 2]
D F#
You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning
G A
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
D F#
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
G
But I know through mine you were
A D
Looking in yours
G F#
And did you know the liberty bell is a replica
E D#
Silently housed in its original walls
G Bm
And while its dreams played music in the night
G
Quietly
A D
It was told to believe
[Interlude]
| D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D |
[Verse 3]
D F#
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
G D A
But I'd be too busy on working days
D F# G
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
A D
I couldn't have changed anyways
G F#
I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
E7 D# D
Goodbye

The picking pattern isn't obvious to me as I'm very new to guitar, do you think you could write it down? :- )
+20

Little tip: it sounds super nice if you pick the lower strings and stay away from the B and high E strings all together. Makes a nice and hearty sound and balances out the vocals well
+6

Not sure about that B5
