Mariannes Son
First Aid Kit
I’ve tried my best to transcribe this from a video of them playing live. I’m not completely sure about the picking but the into seems to be close to this based around the G chord: e|-----------------| B|------3----------| G|-----------------| D|------0------0---| A|---------2-------| E|--3--------------| Standard Tuning No Capo. G: 320033 C: X32010 Em: 022000 D: XX0232 C/B: x32000 Marianne stood by the window looking out on the street as the cars sail by Knew you wondered if he was going to magically reappear step out of his car run into to your arms Marianne Could wait for a sign but you’re just killing time and it’s killing you too What you can’t put behind it’ll stay in your mind and it’ll haunt you Down down down He was he was your only son Like you were your mother’s only daughter. But you have to believe when they say he didn’t leave because of you or me but because he saw no other way Marianne. Could wait for a sign but you’re just killing time and it’s killing you too What you can’t put behind it’ll stay in your mind and it’ll haunt you Down down down / And I’m not looking for a reason I’m looking for truth But if I find it meanwhile I could be of good use but there’s no use No use in blaming yourself it won’t lead to anything Marianne. But what good does this song But what good does convincing I’m not waiting for you to get over this This emptiness and fear won’t cease to exist I just wish that you would come to see That everything is the way its must be And if I am wrong Marianne you may call me a liar. * = strum once she’s about to change from a C chord so just stick them in where it feels right. I’m not sure about the ’But you have to believe when they say’ line because the timing/phrasing changes completely but I’ve tried my best.
