Biography:

of Montreal is an indie pop band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1997. The band is fronted by Kevin Barnes, who writes, composes, and plays most of the music for his albums.

They were among the second wave of groups to emerge from The Elephant 6 Recording Company and the group has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to their interest in combining musical experimentation with the basic tenets of pop i.e. catchy melodies and sing-along choruses.

old people in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

what must they be thinking of

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

must be frightening must be scary

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

to visit the grave of a close friend

B6 B6/A

who was the same age as you when they died there's nothing precious about

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

old people in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

reciting bible passages

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

unprepared to come to terms with

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

the fact that we're all food for worms

B6 B6/A

why do they think a prayer could make a difference now there's nothing sadder than

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

an old woman in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

picking leaves off of her husband's tomb

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

knowing that her only wish is

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

that she will die and join him soon

B6 B6/A

it's so sad to see them all just wither away there's nothing sadder then

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

old people like that

Dm A D

it must be hard to relate

G

after the world of your youth

Gm F#m Bmaj7 C#maj7

totally evaporates

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

old men in the cemetery

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

looking like faint shadows of the dead

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

gazing down at mother's plot

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

and longing to be there instead

B6 B6/A

it's a dreary fate and no one should have to be as depressing

Bmaj7 C#maj7 Bmaj7 C#maj7

as old people like that
