The Execution of All Things, Rilo Kiley
___________________________________________________________________________
(Bit before intro is B C# Aadd9 B)
Intro is just E F#7 A E
E F#7 A E
Soldiers come quickly, I feel the earth beneath my feet.
E F#7 A E
I'm feeling badly, it's not an at-tempt at decency.
E F#7 A E
And if you're well off, well then I'm happy some for you.
E F#7 A C#m B7
But I'd rather not celebrate my de-feat and humili-ation here with
E F#7 A E
you.
E F#7 A E
Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out.
E F#7 A E
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out.
E F#7 A E
Bring with you history, and make your hard earned feast.
E F#7 A C#m B7
Then we'll go to Omaha to work and exploit the booming music
A Am7 E E
scene and hum-ility...
Bm A G A
Bm A G F#
And we've been talking all night...
A (hold for 3 bars) Am
E F#7 A E (repeat)
(lead solo)
E F#7 A E
Oh god come quickly, the exe-cution of all things.
E F#7 A E
Let's start with the bears and the air and mountains, rivers, and streams.
E F#7 A E
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbours and kids
E F#7 A E
Crush all hopes of happiness with dis-ease cause of what you did.
E F#7 A E
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep.
E F#7 A C#m B7
But sleep never comes to you, it's the guilt and forever wakefulness of
A Am7
the weak. It's just you and me.
C#m C#m7sus4* A
The exe-cution of all things.
C Cm C#m
The exe-cution of all things.
B A
The exe-cution of all things.
C B E

*Just in case UG doesn't recognise C#m7sus4, it's this;
9 11 10 11 9 9
I also suggest primarily using barre chords with roots on the E string
rather than the A string. (With the possible exception of Am7 which sounds
nice in the normal position.)
Please don't forget to rate, and do comment if you've spotted something that
I haven't.
