Those to Come by the Shins on the album Chutes Too Narrow

tabbed by Dave (dpy203@nyu.edu)

A very pretty and simple song.  Use an acoustic and I guess you could use an electric with some funky effects for the keyboard solo?  Or not.  Good tune for candlelit dinners.  Anyway, enjoy...

(Riff 1)
Eyeless in the morning sun you were
Pale and mild, a modern girl
Taken with thought, still prone to care
Making tea in your underwear

(Riff 2)
You went out in the yard to find
Something to eat and clear your mind
Something bad inside me went away

(Riff 1)
Quaking leaves and broken light
Shifting skin the coming night
The bearers of all good things arrive
Climb inside us, twist and cry

(Riff 2)
A kiss on your molten eyes
Myriad lives like blades of grass
Yet to be realized, bow as they pass

(Riff 1) They are cold, still waiting in the ether
(Riff 3) To feel, kill, propagate, only to die

(Riff 1) They are cold, still waiting in the ether
(Riff 3) To form, feel, kill, propagate, only to die
(Riff 1) Dissolve, Magically, Absurdly
(Riff 3) They'll end, leave, dissipate, coldly and strangely return
(Riff 1)
(Fade out insanely slowly with some dude whistling the background)

THE END
