Odalisque Tab

by Decemberists


* denotes power chord
The chord I called BaddF# is a (partially) barred B major played with the F# on the high 
string (9th fret). It looks like this:

E--9-------------|
B--7-------------|
G--8-------------|
D--9-------------|
A----------------|
E----------------|

Strum that chord very slowly, accenting the F#. Watch the timing on some of the 
it can be tricky. Please rate!

"Odalisque"

   BaddF#
They've come to find you, Odalisque

   BaddF#
As the light dies horribly

   
On a fire escape you walk

     BaddF#
All rare and resolved to drop

   BaddF#

   BaddF#
And when they find you, Odalisque

   BaddF#
They will rend you, terribly

   
Stitch from stitch 'til all

     BaddF#
Your linen limbs will fall

Lazy lady had a baby girl

* * * * * / * * * * *
And a sweet it made

* * * * * / * *  
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt

* * * * * / * * * * *
In a railroad cul-de-sac

 
And what do we do with ten baby shoes

 
A kit bag full of marbles and a broken billiard cue?


What do we do?

What do we do?


* * * * * / * *  
Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right

* * * * * / * * * * *
And them rip them down again

* * * * * / * *  
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright

* * * * * / * * * * *
What a sweet sound it makes

 
And what we do with ten dirty Jews

 
A thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon?


What do we do?

*
What do we do?

*
Lay your belly under mine

*			 *
Naked under me, under me

*
Such a filthy dimming shine

*			 		    *
The way you kick and scream, kick and scream

* /* *

And what do we with ten baby shoes

 
A kit bag full of marbles and broken billiard cue?


What do we do?

What do we do?

Lazy lady had a baby girl


And a sweet sound it made
