DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - STEADIER FOOTING
I'm just going to identify these chords by their bass notes. It does NOT actually
the chord being played (most of them are just minors).
riff
The riff is just 3 chords that you arpeggiate.
C#sus2 : x46644
Some kind of E : x7644x (barre 4, use your pinky for the 7)
Bsus2 : x24422
to the "E", the rest of the time there is no slide.
B G# E B (x2)
r[(1)
iff] x2
B G# E(1) B (x2)
riff
It's gotten late and now I want to be alone.
All of our friends were here, they all have gone home.
And here I sit on the front porch
watching the drunks stumble forth into the night.
"You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there.
I thought you had dissappeared so early away from here."
and this is the chance I never got
to make a move, but we just talk about
riff
the people we've met in the last five years
riff
and will we remember them in ten more.
I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past.
I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
riff w/slide
