This tab should be pretty close to the album version of the song. You can either play
the riffs for the intro/verse 1 as i've tabbed out below or play the chords which i've
also put above the lyrics. The two G chords with the asterisk (*) are only played if you
are not playing the tabbed riff.

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eli_young_band/guinevere_tab_ver_2.html ]
C
She's got a bumper like a billboard
G
Covered in stickers of her favorite band
Am
She's got a handful of records that she turns to
F
When she needs to land
Am G* (play this if not picking riff above for Verse)
She's a saturday night parade through the streets
F G
That all eyes some to see including me
(Drums enter; Repeat First Riff above--Same as first part of the verse)
C G
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets
Am F
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it
Am G* (same as G* above)
Says forgiveness ain't nothing but a lifeless tire on the
F
shoulder of her soul
G
That never rolls
Chours:
Am F C
For as much as she stumbled she's runnin'
Am F C
For as much as she runs she's still here
Am G F C
Always hoping to find something quicker than heaven
C C G
To make the damage of her days disappear
F G Am F C
Just like Guinevere
C G
She don't hold onto nothin' new for very long
Am
Yeah she writes you in as just one more tale
F
and then you're gone
Am G
'Cause she once fell hard 'cause she dropped her guard
F G
And no one gets to stay it's just too late
(Repeat Chorus)
Am F C
Just like Guinevere
Am F C
For as much as she's stumbled she's runnin'
Am F C
For as much as she runs she's still here
(Repeat Chorus)
Am F C
Oh Just like Guinevere
(instrumental)
