of Montreal es un grupo de indie pop/rock originario de Athens, Georgia, Estados Unidos. Kevin Barnes, vocalista de la banda, decidió llamar al grupo "of Montreal" tras un romance fallido con una chica originaria de Montreal, Canadá. La banda se formó en 1996, y su disco debut, "Cherry Peel", salió a la venta en 1997, seguido por el EP "The Bird Who Continues to Eat the Rabbit's Flower". El segundo LP de of Montreal fue "The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy", grabado en su mayoría en la casa de Kevin Barnes en Athens.

I saw patinahat's tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed he got it wrong. Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help you sound just like the band. Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you can get, by the way!

I put it up here to save space.
Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to A/Dm is the only part that I am not totally convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily and the A/Dm is similar enough.
