Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Here is Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men. This is the original album version - the one on the latest US release is arranged differently for some reason and misses the 'tallest man I've ever seen afloat' verse. If you want to learn to play that version you can use this tab and just figure out the differences. In my opinion this is the better of the two versions.
This is also the way they play the song live.

(The picking bit continues for most of the song with some parts being strummed)
GC Oh I miss the comfort of this house G Where we are, where we are C Where we are, where we are GC The floor under our feet whispers out GC come on in, come on in, where it all begins

GC The tallest man I've ever seen afloat G On a boat, on a boat C On a boat, on a boat GC He keeps his only son close by G In a bag, in a bag C In a bag on his back
GC Can you chase this fire away GC Can you chase this fire away
GC
GC
GC We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes G but she ran down, she ran down C She ran down to the house GC A fox that gains our trust but then breaks it as he walks GC away form us, away from us
GC Can you chase this fire away GC Can you chase this fire away EmCG In the fall we sleep all day EmCG In the fall we sleep all day
G Where we are, where we are C Where we are, where we are G Where we are, where we are C Where we are, where we are
GC Can you chase this fire away (where we are, where we are - where we are, where we are) GC Can you chase this fire away (where we are, where we are - where we are, where we are) EmCG In the fall we sleep all day (where we are, where we are - where we are, where we are) EmCG In the fall we sleep all day (where we are, where we are - where we are, where we are)
EmCG La la la la la la la la la la la la la la (played 8 times to end)
