Song: A Cold Night Close to the End
Artist: Said the Whale 
Album: Islands Disappear (2009)

I was really disappointed to find that the chords for my favorite Said the Whale 
song were not online.  I checked everywhere, and I'm certain that I'm the first to 
get these chords online.  I double checked this with a video of a live 
performance, and these chords are 100% accurate.  Enjoy, everyone.



(Standard tuning with capo on 2)

     CTogether (x32010@1)
F (133211@1)               GAnd (320003@1)if we are to die tonight,
