Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here is Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men. This is the original album version - the one
on the latest US release is arranged differently for some reason and misses the 'tallest
man I've ever seen afloat' verse. If you want to learn to play that version you can use
this tab and just figure out the differences. In my opinion this is the better of the
two versions.
This is also the way they play the song live.

G C
Oh I miss the comfort of this house

Where we are, where we are
C
Where we are, where we are
G C
The floor under our feet whispers out
G C
come on in, come on in, where it all begins
G C
G C
G C
The tallest man I've ever seen afloat
G
On a boat, on a boat
C
On a boat, on a boat
G C
He keeps his only son close by
G
In a bag, in a bag
C
In a bag on his back
G C
Can you chase this fire away
G C
Can you chase this fire away
G C
G C
G C
We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes
G
but she ran down, she ran down
C
She ran down to the house
G C
A fox that gains our trust but then breaks it as he walks
G C
away form us, away from us
G C
Can you chase this fire away
G C
Can you chase this fire away
Em C G
In the fall we sleep all day
Em C G
In the fall we sleep all day
G
Where we are, where we are
C
Where we are, where we are
G
Where we are, where we are
C
Where we are, where we are
G C
Can you chase this fire away (where we are, where we are - where we are, where we are)
