The Alexandria Quartet - Montauk

This song is originally played by two electric guitars, however, since I mostly 
play acoustic and only have two hands, I decided to tab a campfire-friendly 
version for one half decent performer. Please enjoy, and post your own darn 
version if you disagree :) Yeah, and buy the album, it's pretty good!

Intro:          D (xx0232@1)        D/C# (x40232@1)       G6 (320000@1)    Em7               (x2)

D (xx0232@1)       D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)     Em7       
Verse:  Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop
        D (xx0232@1)D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)      Em7
        I close my eyes, and I'm like a girl in a crib
        D (xx0232@1)D/C# (x40232@1)           G6 (320000@1)       Em7
        Afraid of what might come, but too scared to miss it, I know
        D (xx0232@1)D/C# (x40232@1)           G6 (320000@1)        I wouldn't miss you
                Em7
        for the world

D (xx0232@1)    D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)    Em7
Verse:  But I'm so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame
        D (xx0232@1)     D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)       Em7
        Cause I led you north, and I can't stop thinking of you
        D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)           G6 (320000@1)         Em7
        You remind me of somebody else, someone you'd have seen in a film
        D (xx0232@1)   D/C# (x40232@1)       G6 (320000@1)       And I wouldn't miss you

ABridge: (x02220@1)for the world
                                Em7
        So then I pick up my guitar
                                  A (x02220@1)       And describe you in a song
                             Em7        
        Like so many else did,
                                        A (x02220@1)       But not exactly the same way as I
                                       Em7
        Cause I describe your peculiar figure
                                   A (x02220@1)       And then I form a peculiar song
                                       Em7
        And by then you'll have made a difference

Chorus: D (xx0232@1)                    D/C# (x40232@1)          
        Oh, let me take you to Montauk
        G (320003@1)                      A (x02220@1)      Bm (x24432@1)       Cause that's where we're meant to be
        Em7                         A (x02220@1)
        We'll hit the road when you come back
        G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)       And I'll walk you to the beach

Solo:   D (xx0232@1)     D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)    Em7
        A (x02220@1)     Bbdim7  Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)     D/C# (x40232@1)  G6 (320000@1)    Em7
        A (x02220@1)     Bbdim7  Bm (x24432@1)(chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or 
call a friend with a Stratocaster)

Em (022000@1)       A (x02220@1)         Bbdim7  
Chorus: Oh, let me take you to Montauk
        Em (022000@1)                   A (x02220@1)      Bm (x24432@1)       Cause that's where I'm meant to be
        Em (022000@1)                        A (x02220@1)       We'll hit the road when you come back
        G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)    Em7   
        And I'll take you to the beach
        Bbdim7                       G (320003@1)                
        I know you'd like to see the beach

Outro:          D (xx0232@1)        D/C# (x40232@1)       G6 (320000@1)    Em7               (x2)
