Heretics
Note: Chords come from the Acoustic Version - called "Early Version" that appears on the
On EP. It will work with the other lead tab here for the original version if you put a
on III for these chords.
Intro: C F Am F
C
Bored holes through our tongues, so sing a song about it
F
Held our breath for too long till we're half sick about it
Am
Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it
F Fm
Turn a clamp on our thumbs, we'll sew a doll about it
C F
And tell us all about it
Am F
And tell us all about it
G# A#
C# G#
How about some credit now
C#
Where credit is due
G# G#/G
For the damage that we've done
C# G#
We have brought upon ourselves and others
A# D#
With a slow and vicious gun
C# D#
And although pratfalls can be fun
G
Encores can be fatal
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/andrew_bird/heretics_crd.html ]
And then I hear you say
C
Thank God it's fatal
Thank God it's fatal
F
Am
Not shy
Not shy of fatal
F
Not shy of fatal
C
Thank God it's fatal
F
Thank God it's fatal
Am
Not shy of fatal
F
Not shy of fatal
G# A#
C# G#
Wait just a second now
C#
It's not all that bad
G# G#/G
Don't you count out the sun
C# G#
You're making mountains of handkerchiefs
A# D#
Where the mascara always runs
C# D#
So be careful when you're done
G
You're bound to get post-natal
What did I just hear you say?
Repeat C F Am F progression to end
Thank God it's fatal
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a door
No, we don't want to hear the sound of a door
And we don't want to read the signs that you bore
You know the kind of sign you hang on a door
Saying, "We'll be back. What a crack."
Now don't you think we might have heard that before?
Now don't you think we might have heard that before?
Bored holes through our tongues, so sing a song about it
Held our breath for too long till we're half sick about it
Tell us what we did wrong and you can blame us for it
Turn a clamp on our thumbs, we'll sew a doll about it
