The Dodos é uma banda de indie / folk de San Francisco, California, formada por Meric Long (vocais e violão) e Logan Kroeber (bateria). O terceiro membro dos Dodos é Joe Haener, que toca teclado e xylophone. Suas músicas costumam ser definidas como "folk psicadélico".
Meric Long já havia lançado um EP solo, "Dodo Bird", quando conheceu Logan Kroeber em 2006 e os dois formaram a banda, a princípio com o nome de Dodo Bird. O primeiro álbum deles, "Beware of the Maniacs" foi lançado ainda em 2006.

Tuning: EADGBe
Can't really explain the rhythm, so just try and play along with the recording, it's not difficult.
In the Intro you play a plain G or this variation: e|--x----| B|--x----| G|--4----| D|--0----| A|--2----| E|--3----|
Verse:
GAm what were you thinking writing on the roof top C waiting for something or maybe someone GAm and you were laughing circling the road block CEm you put in front of, to keep your heart locked
CAm don't try and hide it, it's all your left with Em you will need more than gaining affection CAm don't try and fight it, what you've been offering Em doesn't even match up with what you're born with
Intro again
Verse:
GAm if this is the last of your kind, well don't be blind C and leave it to others if this is the last of your kind, well don't be blind and leave it to others
CAm go memorize all of your locations Em you are nowhere, you are nothing vacant CAm don't give your eyes to other's vocations Em they are there to keep you in your station
Refrain with tacets:
GAm don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it Em don't try and hide it, don't try to hide it fight it
Verse:
and what the hell were you putting your faith in? something you could not, someone you look too and now you watch it, always floating over what you would long for, what you were born to
don't memorize all of your locations you are nowhere, you are nothing vacant don't give your eyes to other's vocations they will only keep you in your station
Refrain:
don't try and hide it, don't try and fight it don't try and hide it, don't try to hide it fight it
