Artist: Califone Song: Funeral Singers [http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/califone/funeral_singers.html] Tabbed by: Dylan Open Eb tuning. Open E, half step down: Eb-Bb-Eb-G-Bb-Eb Ok so, he repeats a four chord, 8 bar cycle throughout the song by barring the bottom three strings (leaving the rest ringing)and sliding the chord shape up and down the neck. He plays each chord for two bars. It looks like this: -0----0----0----0-- The rhythm is all down strokes and eighth -0----0----0----0-- notes, semi palm muted. Such a beautiful -0----0----0----0-- song by a truly unique and special band. -7----2----5----0-- -7----2----5----0-- -7----2----5----0-- Little narcotic warm on me What will I do without the weight of you? Funeral singers wail When charity fails whose child are you now? Lighthouse keeper grazed the lip, spread like a fog Stood in the weather and prayed for a push But doesn't take the jump again tonight The book is aching for the tree Return, return, return to me All my friends, all my friends All my friends are leaves and rain All my friends are half-gone birds And magnets, all my friends are words All my friends are funeral singers, funeral singers Funeral singers wailing... (Interlude) The spark is aching for the light Return, return, return tonight All my friends, all my friends All my friends are keeping time All my friends have just quit trying All my friends are funeral singers, funeral singers Funeral singers wailing.
