Water Curses Tab

by Animal Collective


Water Curse - first song from the EP.

I typed this all in perfectly, but Ultimate Guitar decides to mess up all the position 
where the chords should be, so sorry about that.  But, it's not too hard to hear when the 
change in the song, so just listen for that and figure it out


Intro:  

Verse:


Two days, a motion actor
         
Two broken strings, a tractor
                                                
A groom, a face, a life-filled room
                                                          
It's a date before a cornea and a wish could be a bad thing
                                             
My mouth is just a mush of drool



I'm standing on a bridge
  
I wink at her from up high
                                               
Trout and fish comes as she moves

I want to be like water,
         
And never need a doctor,
                                                     
And carve the earth without my tools


Chorus:

                                                                   
                                    
All of the things that I relate to well, like authors and painters
                                                         
Transparent paper dreams that float above me while I sleep
                                        
To make the room more natural
                        
So you could die in 'em
                     
Die in 'em, die


Verse: 



The color after sunset
                 
You'd do anything the drink's at
                                                   
The crush has come just like a willow

He doesn't need a house
               
There's shoes in every house
                                                                     
There's the drips, the black spots on my pillow



I want to be like water
        
And slip in through your throat and
                                      
Make you feel alive and new

I want to be like water
         
And never have a doubt
                                                    
And crack your legs around my boots


Chorus:

                                                                   
                                    
All of the things that I relate to well, like authors and painters
                                                         
Transparent paper dreams that float above me while I sleep
                                        
To make the room more natural
                        
So you could die in 'em
                     
Die in 'em, die


                                           
And all the dreams that I awake to read like ghostly paintings
                                          
And all the things I hate I wish I didn't have to hate
                                    
To find a room that's natural
                  
To live on by in 'em
                   
by in 'em, by


For the next part, just go back and forth between C and C#, switching with basically 
word.  If you listen to it, you'll get it.

I don't think you know just what you're doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving
Said, I don't think I know exactly what I'm doing
You pretend to know exactly all the things you keep on moving

                                                   
When you wake up from your snoozin'
                                               
Gonna tell you how to do it my way
                                            
Gonna tell you what I'm doin'
                                      
Raising knife up in my drum


                                 
Anybody's dog is barking
                                         
And I can't find a way to stop it
                                       
It's a song about the days you spend
                              
Without me at our home


Repeat the last few parts then.  Chances are you'll only look at this tab if you really 
the song, so I'm sure you'll figure it out.
