Deer Tick
"Smith Hill"
*Capo on 2
+So I just started getting into Deer Tick, and to my dismay I
only ran across some very mediocre tabs. Hope this one
helps somebody out, it's a fantastic song! Although there are
two guitars when they play it, both live and on the record, I
tabbed it so that one person could possibly play it and this is
the way that I've played it live. Sounded awesome, so here ya guys go.
Enjoy!

Verse 1:

Elbows on the window sill

My head against the pane
Bm G
You've seen so many grow and die
D A
But you forgot most of their names
0-2-4 walk-up on A string
Verse 2:
D G
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
D A
And I hope that it never comes down
Bm G
Unless you're coming with it
D A
It's better with you around
Bm, G, D, A x2
Verse 3:
D G
I could drink myself to death tonight
D A
Or I could stand and give a toast
Bm G
To those who made it out alive
D A
It's you I'll miss the most
Verse 4:
D G
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
D A
I've got a fifty dollar bill
Bm G
But somewhere in her weak heart
D A
She knows I never will

from a tiny room up on Smith Hill

Then say "I don't want you here"
Verse 6:

I can't stand to face the facts

It'd only leave you hurt
