Peacebone Tab

by Animal Collective


Peacebone by Animal Collective
off their wonderful LP Strawberry Jam

EADGBe Standard Tuning
(perhaps slightly flat across all strings, less than half step)
i palm mute all chords, strumming once per beat, but play however you think sounds good

Intro: E up an octave (0-14-14-13-0-0) and bend or slide up and down as the keyboard 
until the bass and drum comes in, then stay on regular E (022100)


                                     
A Peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
                                                         
Well I've been jumpin in all over, but my views are slowly shrinking
                                    
I was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
                                           
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors


                
While half of my fingers
                
are dipped in the sand
                                       
You're progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli
                                      
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice

                                           
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
                                       
Just a few things are related to the "old times"
                                        
Then we did believe in magic and we  did   die
                                                      
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
                   
you're just an inside
                 
adjust your  in  sides
                   
You're just an inside

(repeat verse and chorus progressions)
I bet the monster was a-happy when we made him a maze
Cause he don’t understand intentions a-he just looks at your face
And then the bubbles exploded and tickled the bath
And all the birds were very curious all the fish were at the surface

Well half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night

Cause an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die.
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your inside
Adjust your insides. You're just an inside.


Screaming part (3:05) goes something like this..
Strum each chord on each scream
                                            


repeat verse

                                           
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
                                       
Just a few things are related to the "old times"
                                        
When we did believe in magic and we  did   die
                                                      
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
                   
you're just an inside
                 
adjust your  in  sides
                   
You're just an inside
   
Inside
   
Inside
   
Inside
   
Inside
   
Inside


Peacebone!
