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 another tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed the author got it parts of it incorrect Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help you sound just like the band. I think Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you can be, by the way!

In the beginning the guitar plays higher in the neck besides the barred chords in the rest of the song. -The G minor FEbm to Ao BDm/AF7F-7 Dm/BbEb/GCm/Eb* e-10----------------6-8-10-8---8-------5----8---8------------------| b-11----------10----7-7-7-7----7---6---6---10---8----8----8------6-| g-12----------10----8-8-8-8----8---7---7----8---8----7----8------5-| d-12----------10---------------7---8---7---10--10----8----8------5-| a- -----------------------------------------8---8--------10------4-| *comes later in the song. I put it up here to save space.
Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to Dm/A is the only part that I am not totally convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily.
