Neko Case - The Pharaohs Chords & Tabs

Hi! Hope this helps you guys! I'll indicate lower in the tab where this applies 
but there are occasional 'sus4' chords in this song but it's kind of hard to point 
out exactly 
where they are in the lines. I'll mark where that happens so you can listen to the 
song and figure out where you want to play them. Thanks!!!


Capo 2

Intro- Am

         Am                                      C
You were married in the mirrored hall when I was 16 
C                            G        F             G
You spoke the words, "I love girls in white leather jackets" 
         Am             F                            Am
That was good enough for love, it was good enough for me   
   G    F   E
(Listen for correct timing of when to play these three chords)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/neko_case/the_pharaohs_crd.html ]
E         Esus4 E                            Esus4 E
I listened in when you thought you were lost 
E         Esus4 E                            Esus4 E
Caught in those fangs on a tornado sprawl 
C                  G    (Optional chord G/f#, as you walk down to the E)
Who knows what you know 
E                  Esus4 E
I only heard what I wanted 
E       Esus4 E               Esus4 E
You said I was your blue, blue baby 
   A             E  Esus4 E
And you were right 
Em      Esus4 E               Esus4 E
You said I was your blue, blue baby 
    A
And you were right 

Instrumental- Same chords and timings as first verse, up until "That was good 
enough for love" when you go to a C instead of an F, then back to Am to start the 
second verse.

Am                        C
Wondered the halls of the nighttime 
C                       G
My body burned, my legs ached 
        F             G
But you never came to bed 
        Am             C
You just left me there awake 
            C
You kept me wanting wanting wanting 
         F                    G
Like the wanting in the movies and the hymns 
C                   G            F
I want the pharaohs, but there's only men 
C                   G            F
I want the pharaohs, but there's only men 
E       Esus4 E           Esus4 E
You said I was your new blue baby 
    A            E
And you were right 
Em     Esus4 E              Esus4 E
You said I was your new blue baby 
    A           E
And you were right 


This is pretty accurate, you just have to listen to the song for certain timings, 
since it's difficult to write it out. Hope this helps you out!!!
