The Secret Ocean Tab

by Of Montreal



Thanks, Andrew, for this one.

Of Montreal cover of THE SECRET OCEAN
(played by Elf Power too.  Not sure which band wrote the song)
*the bird who continues to eat the rabbit's flower
track #7

(capo the 1st fret)


intro:    


the secret ocean and its coast


fills out in to the room

* 
and it made me think of how you float away

 
to another distant room, embracing the unknown

 
and i wonder what you're doing there today

chorus:

  
'cause i'm always thinking of you

  
your invisible rays slice me in 2

   
you crush me every day, make me change my shape

  
i could be anything you want me to

(end chorus)



drifting along


those golden doorways

** 
you tried to duck your head


but the ceiling sticks along you (?)

 
and lifts you up into a place

 
where you can be anything you want to


an old dead branch


a big red n


a singing clam

(this is how the "bum, bum, bum/oooooing" part goes):


        


then, just repeat the song from the beginning, playing, for the outro lines; 
    three times. enjoy!
