Shins - A Comet Appears Chords & Tabs

The Shins - A Comet Appears
Tabbed by Baunitdabaun
Transcribed to native key by dampysmiff

Note: This song has had many attempts before it, and let's all face it, the best thing
found so far is to play it Baunitdabaun's way with a capo on the second in the key of Am.
However, through the wonderful thing that is music we can figure out how to transcribe 
same tab into its native key.  Please note that in order to get the song sounding as
as possible it's probably wise for you to use the following fingerings for the chords 
 Unfortunately, when transcribing this song I found that using open chords tended to give 
song less of an authentic feel, so the best thing to do is use barre chords throughout.

Chords used:
Bm	[ x 2 4 4 3 2 ]
A	[ 5 7 7 6 5 5 ]
G	[ 3 5 5 4 3 3 ]
D	[ x 5 7 7 7 5 ]

Maybe there's another way to play the chords to make them sound like the song, but I
find it.  The truth is that changing to an open chord ruins the transition from Bm ->
else.  It kills the fluidity of the sound of the song, which is definitely there otherwise.

  They shone a chlorine light on
Bm  A           D
  a host of individual sins
Bm        A       G     D
  Let's carve my aging face off
A          D
fetch us a knife
A              D
start with my eyes
A            D
down so the lines form a
G         A
grimacing smile


Bm           A          G      D
  Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Bm   A            D
  Is this fooling anyone else?

cement a failure

VERSE

Bm           A          G          D
  With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
Bm           A              D
  I click my heels get the devils in line
Bm          A              G         D
  A list of things I could lay the blame on might
G                A
give me a way out


Bm              A              G         D
  But with each turn it's this front and center
Bm       A          D
  Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Bm      A            G           D
  Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
A            D
pie in the sky
A               D
chock full of lies
A            D
a tool we devise to make
G              A
sinking stones fly


CHORUS

  Still to come

  the worst part and you know it

  there is a numbness
G        D              A
  in you heart and it's growing
