----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHANKILL BUTCHERS - The Decemberists ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the album: The Crane Wife (2006) Tabbed by: Justin Muir Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard, Capo 4 Key: Am (actually C#m)
Everything is relative to the capo. Play the bass note and then strum the chord. He in some other bass notes other than when I noted e.g. E/B or F/C. The E/B and F/C mean to a regular E major or F major but instead of playing the bass note E or F (6th string), B or C (5th string)
[Intro] AmAm/BCAm/B x2
AmAm/EF The shankill butchers run tonight E You better shut your windows tight AmAm/EF They're sharpening their cleavers and their knives E And taking all their whiskey by the pint
AmAm/EF And everybody knows if you don't GAmAm/E Mind your mother's words AmAm/EFF/C A wicked wind will blow GAm Your ribbons from your curls Am/EAmAm/EF Everybody moan, everybody shake EE/B (AmAm/BAm/B) x2 The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake
AmAm/EF They used to be just like me and you E They used to be sweet little boys AmAm/EF But something went horribly askew E Now killing is their only source of joy
AmAm/EF And everybody knows if you don't GAmAm/E Mind your mother's words AmAm/EFF/C A wicked wind will blow GAm Your ribbons from your curls Am/EAmAm/EF Everybody moan, everybody shake EE/B (AmAm/BAm/B) x2 The shankill butchers wanna catch you awake
[Solo chords] AmAm/EFE AmAm/EFE
AmAm/EF The shankill butchers on the rise E They're waiting until the dead of the night AmAm/EF They're picking at their fingers with their knives E And wiping off their cleavers on their thighs
AmAm/EF And everybody knows if you don't GAmAm/E Mind your mother's words AmAm/EFF/C A wicked wind will blow GAm Your ribbons from your curls Am/EAmAm/EF Everybody moan, everybody shake
[Ending]
