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.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
The wonderful last song on "The Bedside Drama". As with any Of Montreal song, there are almost as many chords as there are words; I tried to be as detailed with the chords as I could, but I may have missed or misinterpreted a few. Listen along with his voice and try to add or subtract notes according to the melody, and change the chords to suit you. (n/c) means stop playing and sing. I may easily be wrong about the capo, i didnt realize my guitar was a half step sharp when I transcribed this. If anyone comes up with a regular version they should totally put it on the internet.
