This is a very nice song by Alt-J, which is surprisingly simple. Funnily enough, the intro is exactly the same as "No Surprises" from Radiohead, but played faster, and with more overlaid guitars. You wouldn't notice it though.
Em G Bm A Just like Johnny Flynn said, 'the breath I've taken and the one I must' to Em go on.
Em G Bm A Put the grenade pin in your hand, so you understand who's boss.
Em G Bm A My defeat sleeps top to toe with her success.
Em Oh this is from A This is from A D This is from Matilda
[Verse 2]
Em G And she needs you Bm A This is for Matilda Em G And she needs you Bm A This is for Matilda
(The end is just the succession of)
D(x2) G A
And there we have it! I must admit that the "and she needs you" sounds a bit odd, but I think its that. I think that they only strum a few of the strings in the chords.
Tunning: Nashville (E A D G B E)
Here's my take - I'm new to ear-training and tablature-writing
so this might not be 100%, but sounds ok to me.
(Brackets) mean optional notes, and in chord names means the name
of the chord when the optional notes are played.
Feel free to send corrections, and please rate the tab!
Chords:
Dmaj(9dim7) (10) 12 12 11 (0) (0) or Dmaj x x 0 2 3 2 (for the intro)
G(dim7)/D (3) 5 5 4 (0) (0)
Bm(dim7)/D x 5 4 4 (0) (0)
Bm(dim7)/F# x 9 9 7 (0) (0)
A(add9)/E x 7 7 6 (0) (0)
Gdim7/E x 7 5 7 (0) (0)
Lyrics with chords at the bottom
Here is the picked arrangement, but it also sounds nice and harmonic
if you strum the full chords at points like the chorus/pre-chorus.
The intro won't sound exactly the same because I think there's a
mild delay multiplying the notes to make it sound like really fast
fingerpicking.
*THEN THIS FIGURE* (not sure if this is the actual ending, but I like it..)
@x@ means natural harmonic at that fret (I don't know the proper symbol)
G(dim7) with thumb on Low G (for E string harmonic)

I think there are three guitars layered over each other at most parts. I've tabbed out one guitar to sound close to the effect of the three. I'm going to work on an other tab with all three parts.
It's in drop-d to make hitting the harmonic in the intro easier. I don't think its feasible to hit that harmonic though. But I figured I might as well add it anyway.
[OUTRO] (the two notes on the seventh fret aren't a part of the song. But there is an arpeggio played on another guitar that includes these notes) e|---------------------------------------------------| B|----------7-----------7------------7-----------7---| G|----------7-----------7------------7-----------7---| D|-4-----------4-----------4------------4------------| A|----5-----------5------------5-----------5---------| D|-------7-----------7------------7-----------7------|
