Wolf Parade - Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts Chords & Tabs

Things to consider: When Boeckner plays just the chords, I don’t really know how 
he voices them, it’s too hard to hear.  The intro is actually the keyboard part 
but I like it so I tabbed it anyway.  The song is basically in 12/8; each little 
dash/space is an 8th note, and each beat is made up of 3 dashes.  It’s written to 
be exactly on beat, so you don’t have to struggle as much to figure out the 
timing.

Then just the chords...the first time through, the accents are on the 2nd and 4th 
beats but he’s still letting stuff ring some (though it sounds a little 
choppy)...the second time, he slams the chord on the 2nd and 4th beats and mutes 
the space in between:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
                                                   > x2
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Pre-chorus:

F           Am          F           E

------3-----------7-----------3-----------------|
---------1-----------5-----------1--------0--3--|
---2-----------5-----------2-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|

F           C           Am          E

------3--------------7--------5-----------------|
---------1--------8--------------3--------0--3--|
---2-----------9-----------3-----------1--------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------|



Chorus (the chords are based roughly on the bass line):

C           G           Dm    Am    F
      LR---|  LR------|                      LR w/ next
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------|  > x8
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|


Then back to the chords, play them like the first time:

---F-----F-----Am----Am----F-----F-----E-----E--| \
                                                   > x5
---F-----F-----C-----C-----Am----Am----E-----E--| /


Outro:

LR---|  LR------|  
------------------------------------------------|
--------3---------------------------------------|
------5---5-4-2---------------------------------| \
----------------2-------------------------------|  > x2
-----------------------/7--5--3-5--/7--5--0--3--| /
------------------------------------------------|

2nd repeat slows down at the end
