Tiger Mountain Peasant Song Tab

by Fleet Foxes


The song is tuned down a half-step, but you can play it normal and it sounds pretty 
It's in 6/8 and the key of C (well, B once it's tuned down, but you get the idea)

Intro:  /  /  / 

Verse 1:

                       
Wanderers this morning came by
                                     
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
         
To banner fair
             
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Verse 2:

                               
Through the forest and down to your grave
                                    
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
       
They do not
        
Know you anymore

Interlude:  /  /  /  /  / 
/  /  /  (keep strumming )

Chorus:

                   
Dear shadow alive and well
                
How does the body die
                              
You tell me everything, anything true

Verse 3:

                     
In the town one morning I went
                                
Staggering through premonitions of my death
            
I don't see anybody that dear to me

Chorus:

                   
Dear shadow alive and well
                
How does the body die
                              
You tell me everything, anything true

I don't know what I have done
                          
I'm turning myself into a demon
                      
I don't know what I have done
                          
I'm turning myself into a demon
