Priests and Paramedics Lyrics

I noticed the near complete lack of many of the better songs by pedro the lion on this
and so I'm gonna try to do somethign about that. I've seen tabs for this fantastic song
other sites and their all so wrong it hurts. I'm not that great at figuring out songs
myself, I'll admit. And I don't know many of the fancy names for chords, but I should
able to get you to figure out how to play the song, and that's all that matters. I'm
this as I watch David Bazan play it live on some videos, so they should be pretty much
but if not, I'm sorry. It's better than 80% of the tabs most people submit, at least.
the chords I dont know the names of, I'll make a chart and give each shape a number.
I'll just put the number in place of the chord name where it goes in the song.
be too dificult
chord# 1 2
Verse 1:
Paramedics brave and strong
Up before the break of dawn
Putting poker faces on
Broken bodies all day long
The neighbors heard the fight
Someone had a knife
It must have been the wiiiiiife
Husband's lost a lot of blood
He wakes up screaming oh my god
Chorus..sorta...
Am I gonna die, am I gonna die?
As they strapped his arms down to the sides
Times like these they've been taught to lie
Buddy just calm down you'll be alright
Several friends came to his grave
His children were so well behaved
As the priest got up to speak
The assembly craved relief
But he himself had given up
So instead he offered them this bitter cup
Second Chorus kinda thingy
You're gonna die
We're all gonna die
Could be twenty years
Could be tonight
Lately I have been wondering why
We go to so much trouble
To postpone the unavoidable
And prolong the pain of being alive
There you go. I'm almost 100% sure these are the chords David plays when he plays it
I froze the video and put my fingers where his were and it sounds the same. So after you
those 2 chords i don't know the names are, you have yourself a correct version of
and Paramedics to play on your acoustic whenever you please = )
cause youll do it anyway, might as well give you permission.
