This is my first tabbed song and its by MGMT.im not sure if its 100% correct but i can
you it sounds good.
As well as tabs for the intro there is lyrics and chords which you may find usefull. Enjoi.
It sound better with a capo, on the 2nd to 5th fret, but its up to you if it
suits your voice good luck anyways. It CAN be played without a capo though.

Verse 1.
EM7 CADD9
You were a child,
G G5/F#
crawling on your knees sort of.
EM7 CADD9
Making momma so proud,
G G5/F#
but you voice is too loud.
EM7 CADD9 G G5/F#
............ we liked to watch you laughing,
EM7 CADD9
you picked the insects off plants,
G G5/F#
it's time to think of consequenses.
Chorus
EM7
Control yourself,
CADD9 G G5/F#
And take what you need from them.
EM7 CADD9 G G5/F#
A family of trees wanted, to be haunted.
( Repeat )
Verse 2.
EM7 CADD9
The water is warm,
G G5/F#
but it's sending me shivers.
EM7 CADD9
A baby is born,
G G5/F#
Crying out for attention.
EM7 CADD9
The memmories fade,
G G5/F#
like looking though a fogged mirror.
EM7 (MUTED) CADD9 (MUTED)
Decisions to decisions are made and not bought,
G (MUTED) (AND THEN STOP PLAYING)
and i thought, it wouldnt hurt a lot.
But I guess not.
Chorus:
Controll yourself,
And take what you need from them.
A family of trees wanted, to be haunted.
( Repeat but stop at 'Trees' and hold the note, check for timing. )
Bridge:
This part of the song has no words but is quite hard. also the chords are diiferent to
other versions. this goes on for a wile but can be shortened a bit.
It goes:
Quickly Lighter
CADD9, D , EM7 , G5/F# , G , , C CADD9 , D , CADD9 , G , G, G, G
Chorus:
Controll yourself,
And take what you need from them.
A family of trees wanted, to be haunted.
( repeat X4 but on the last chorus where it says Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees...
that
basicly finishes the song.)
And I dont care if its wrong.
