Biography:
For three simple words ‘I’, ‘love’ and ‘you’ have a clever way of hiding themselves, no more so than in The Alexandria Quartet’s debut album. Based in Bergen, Norway’s main student city and the country’s unofficial pop epicentre, the Quartet have been holed up in studios and rehearsal rooms for the last 18 months polishing a collection of beautiful songs bursting with love, loss and the kind of melodies that come along once in a blue moon.

The Alexandria Quartet - Montauk
This song is originally played by two electric guitars, however, since I mostly
play acoustic and only have two hands, I decided to tab a campfire-friendly
version for one half decent performer. Please enjoy, and post your own darn
version if you disagree :) Yeah, and buy the album, it's pretty good!

D D/Db G6 Em7
Verse: Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop
D D/Db G6 Em7
I close my eyes, and I'm like a girl in a crib
D D/Db G6 Em7
Afraid of what might come, but too scared to miss it, I know
D D/Db G6
I wouldn't miss you
Em7
for the world

D D/Db G6 Em7
Verse: But I'm so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame
D D/Db G6 Em7
Cause I led you north, and I can't stop thinking of you
D D/Db G6 Em7
You remind me of somebody else, someone you'd have seen in a film
D D/Db G6
And I wouldn't miss you
A
Bridge: for the world
Em7
So then I pick up my guitar
A
And describe you in a song
Em7
Like so many else did,
A
But not exactly the same way as I
Em7
Cause I describe your peculiar figure
A
And then I form a peculiar song
Em7
And by then you'll have made a difference
Chorus: D D/Db
Oh, let me take you to Montauk
G A Bm
Cause that's where we're meant to be
Em7 A
We'll hit the road when you come back
G A
And I'll walk you to the beach
Solo: D D/Db G6 Em7

D D/Db G6 Em7

call a friend with a Stratocaster)
Em A Bbdim7
Chorus: Oh, let me take you to Montauk
Em A Bm
Cause that's where I'm meant to be
Em A
We'll hit the road when you come back
G A Em7
And I'll take you to the beach
Bbdim7 G
I know you'd like to see the beach
