Band of Horses Song: The First Song Album: Everything All the Time [Intro] B|---------|----7---9--7----7---9---7h9---9-7h9-------10po9-----| G|---------|--------------8----------------------8h9--------9---| |---------|----------------------------------------------------| |---------|----------------------------------------------------| Amaj7 E (repeat) [Verse] The shaking awful I’m shaking asshole In weather remote The snowfall oh The snowing the color We recover from oh The Christmas-time coming Hangover approaching We’ve been drinking for months This Christmas-time though I’m coming over [Chorus] Coming from the north I’m already done Wrapping up the presents I bought [Verse] Overcoat now take me anywhere oh We’ve suffered enough Scary to leave When they’re leaving from work They’re cutting us off Knowing not why They’re calling on the telephone [Chorus] Roy do I know anyone? No I don’t know anyone N.C. Note: I’ve seen live versions where one guitarist has a capo on 2nd fret and the other doesn’t (possibly tuned down 1/2 step) and another video where Tyler Ramsey has a capo on 5th fret. On the studio version it sounds like there are a couple guitars plus a lap pedal steel. I tabbed this to be an easy way to play along with the album without having to tune down. It’s a really cool song and there might be some sort of subtle pitch bending effect on the guitars which makes it sound unique. Chord formations: Amaj7 x02120 E 022100 E x7999x (chorus) B x2444x Amaj9 x06600 (alternate way to play the Amaj7 chord) Esus2 x79977 (alternate way to play E) Chords transposed to actual key if you don’t want to use a capo: Amaj7 --> Bmaj7 E --> F# B --> C# ************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************
