Rilo Kiley - The Execution Of All Things Chords & Tabs

Rilo Kiley
The Execution of All Things

Technically this song starts with only the bass, but I like to strum the bottom
three strings of these chords.

E             F#                  A			E
Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
  I'm feeling badly, it's not an attempt at decency.

1st Riff (3:01)

e|-----12----14--12----|----12----14--12----|----12----14--12----|
B|--12----12--------12-|-11----11--------11-|-10----10--------10-|

e|-----12----16—(14)-12-| (Play note only on the second time)
B|--12----12------------|

And if you're well off, well then I'm happy some for you.
But I'd rather not celebrate my defeat and
      C#m   B         E
humiliation here with you.

Play 1st Riff once at 2:45, this time with distortion.

Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.  
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out. 

E			F#	   A		          E
   Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast. 
E			   F#	      A   
   Then we’ll all go to Omaha, to work and exploit the

C#m       B     A                    E Bm A G F#7
booming music scene and humility.

E           F#                  A			E
Oh god come quickly, for the execution of all things. 
E                    F#                     A                     E
Let's start with the bears and air and then mountains rivers and streams  
E                      F#                       A                       E
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids 
E                     F#              A                      E 
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease cause of what you did
E                      F#          A                     E
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
E                F#                    A
But sleep never comes to you, just the guilt and forever
C#m    B           A                C
wakefulness of the weak.  






It's just you and me....

The execution of all things.
