Grandaddy are an American indie pop band formed in Modesto, California in 1992 by singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia, and drummer Aaron Burtch; although a noisy, lo-fi approach characterized early recordings like 1994's Complex Party Come Along Theories, with the 1995 additions of guitarist Jim Fairchild and keyboardist Tim Dryden the group's sound expanded exponentially over the course of subsequent efforts including the unreleased Don't Sock the Tryer and the 1996 EP A Pretty Mess by This One Band.

Grandaddy The Boat is in the Barn
Note: I'm using finger muting on the opening F#m and D chords of each verse to achieve the sound they do Palm muting would propably work as well if that's your bag
[Intro] F#m
[Verse 1] F#m I saw you sitting at a table by the water D And you were going through the photos on your phone AG#F#mEB You looked so happy, and you need to be there all alone F#m Getting rid of all of me is what I figured D Delete, delete everything that had occurred AG#F#mEB That's when I backed away and headed out without a word
[Chorus] GD But no, my love ain’t gone AE The boat is in the barn GD Oh no, my love ain’t gone AE The boat is in the barn
[Verse 2] F#m Back at the house, I got a lot to keep me going D It’s like you’ve never lived here after all AG#F#mEB Maybe except for that one picture on the mudroom wall F#m I took it out the lake while you were waterskiing D And it’s without a doubt my favorite one of you AG#F#mEB You were a wonder while you hovered out above the blue (blue blue blue blue)
[Chorus] GD But no, my love ain’t gone AE The boat is in the barn GD Oh no, my love ain’t gone AE The boat is in the barn
[Instrumental] EmGDA EmGDAG#
[Ending] GD But no, my love ain’t gone AE The boat is in the barn GD Oh no, my love ain’t gone AEEm The boat is in the barn
