Okkervil River - Red
Standard Tuning
Tabbed by Chris Shelton

Chords:
C - X32010
C9- x32030
G - 320033
F - 133211
Am- X02210

Chords in parentheses are over really long drawn out vowels,
so instead of writing "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar" and trying to
space out the chords over them, I just clumped them together
in parentheses. The rhythm shouldn't be hard to figure out for
these sections because it usually follows the same pattern as
similar parts of the song.

Second Interlude*:
C C9 C C9
C C9 C C9
C C9 C C9

*The rhythm here is difficult to explain from the chords alone;
basically he switches between C and C9 for twelve measures. You
can hear it especially well from the left speaker.
