Vox Celeste by Deerhunter

Here's an awesome song from Weird Era Continued that, to my amazement, has not been
tabbed yet! Anyway, this song is mega fun to play on guitar so have a blast and feel 
free to
share the tab or revise it as you see fit!

Chord at the beginning, strum on that for a bit and drone on, my fellow shoe-gazer

E|--0--
B|--0--
G|--0--
D|--4--
A|--5--
E|--0--

Harmonics they sometimes use, though be creative! Use whatever fill in notes you want!
This one's for the shoe-gazers after all, they won't know the difference heh:

E|--12--|
B|--12--|
G|--12--|
D|--12--|
A|--12--|
E|--12--|

Riff part:

E|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0--4--2--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4---------|
A|-----------------5--5--5--5--5--5--5---------|
E|---------------------------------------------|


E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------------|
A|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|



Bass part at the end of the first part at 1:03:



E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--0--0--0--0--4--4--4--4--11--11--11--11--2--2--2--2-----------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

The two chords they use in the middle between the riff part, and the ending bassline 
goes as follows

(They're basically different voiced forms of a D chord, and sound like a Sebadoh type
voiced chord, much like in their song, Skull):


E|--0-----------------0-----|
B|--3-----------------3-----|
G|--4-----------------2-----|
D|--0-----------------4-----|
A|--0-----------------0-----|
E|--0-----------------0-----|

The "start over..." part:

E|-----------|
B|--3--------|
G|-----4--2--|
D|-----------|
A|-----------|
E|-----------|

Guitar on the right channel during heavier parts is doing some simple octave bends

E|---------------|
B|--10-----------|
G|--12(b 14)-----|
D|---------------|
A|---------------|
E|---------------|

That's pretty much it, and like others have said on sites like YouTube, you can
definitely hear The Breeders influence on this one.

Haven't tabbed in a while so sorry if there were slight errors, but Deerhunter guitar
parts are usually easy and mostly based around first position playing so don't over
complicate things heh.

Have fun playing! :D
