Biography:
Wye Oak (née Monarch) is a duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack, formed in mid-2006.
Wasner and Stack have been playing music together and apart in Baltimore, MD, and chose their name from the honorary state tree of Maryland. If Children is the culmination of many months of recording, polishing and perfecting to achieve what Any Given Tuesday best described as, “. .. . mingling in a room full of shoegaze, alt-country, folk, and noise, shaking hands, kissing cheeks, and making friends with everyone.

Emmylou by Wye Oak
Album: My Neighbor/My Creator
Tuning: DADGDC (capo on 1st fret)
This could be wrong, but there are no live videos so I had to do it by ear and the
guitar is a bit covered in the mix. There's a quick little changing thing Jenn does on the
Bmaj9, so I'm just going to call each stage of it Bmaj9 (x) and I'll denote when to go
through them (e.g "Bmaj9(1-3)") and when to just play one of them. You'll figure it out
what I mean if you listen to the song.
Fret numbers are not relative to the capo.

Lyrics and chords:
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2) (3)
Try to live like this forever love my mom and not upset her
F#maj9 Ebm9
Even my ambition had to write itself in blood
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2) (3)
Yeah, I know, it sounded right and helped my mother sleep at night
F#maj9 Ebm9
But everything to everyone to you wasn't enough
Chorus:
C#maj9
You
Bmaj9(1)
Could see through
F#maj9
I could too
Ebm9
Emmylou
Verse 2:
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2) (3)
All the love I have in me I understand how I could be
F#maj9 Ebm9
A terrible example when I take my own advice
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2) (3)
I am not the victim here and I am not the enemy
F#maj9 Ebm9
So I did not divide for you a face to place your sympathy
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2) (3)
I'll do any fantasy and nothing like you seem to be
F#maj9 Ebm9
I know this from the agony because I don't know how
C#maj9 Bmaj9(1) (2)(3)
I believe in common sense and meaningless coincidence
F#maj9 Ebm9
But I don't believe in heaven so I have to have you now
Chorus
Outro (same chords as verse; harmonica solo)
Thanks! I hope someone else loves this song as much as I do.
