The Funeral Band of Horses backing track and tabs

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)

I was looking around the internet for a tab to this great song by the Seattle-band Band
Horses. After a while I found it at their message board and thought that I should share
with you guys. I'm really certain it's 100% correct. This is just the demo version and
might need an update for the album! Check 'em out at www.bandofhorses.com

I listened to the song closely and during the intro the guitarist is sliding through
first chord shapes. There is also a bit of delay. In order to do that, you have to use
shapes than what have already been listed (and, also, you'll need an amp with effects to
the delay). So...here's the tab in the best form I can give you (this is my first atempt
a tab).

Enjoy. This is a great new band. I had the chance to see them when they toured with Iron
Wine. Check out their debut LP on Sub Pop - several great tracks along with Funeral.
not 100% on the lyrics, though I think they're closer than what I've seen before.)

This intro continues through the first verse:

I'm coming up only to hold you under
And coming up only to show you wrong

And to know you is hard we wonder
to know you all wrong we won

Ooh oooh ooooh ooh

Chorus (standard bar chords): Bb Eb Ab Ab

Bb Eb Ab Ab
And every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more it's called the funeral
Every occasion oh I'm ready for the funeral
And every occasion oh one billion day funeral

(Intro)

I'm coming up only to shove you down for
And coming up only to show you wrong

(Verse)

To the outside of the dead leaves they are alone
For they died half trees hang their boughs

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
