Shins - Young Pilgrim guitar tab

Note:

__________________________________________________________________

The little riff played over the D chords in the verse is

normally played by a separate guitar from the one that's strumming.

What I do when playing this alone is:

e|-------2-----2-2---|

B|---3-----3---3-3---|

G|---2-2-----2-2-2---|

D|---0---------0-0---|

A|---0---------0-0---|

E|-------------------|

Then on to the Bb and so on.

(Three muted strums)

D Bb G D Bb C D F A

D Bb G D

A cold and wet November dawn

Bb C D

And there are no barking sparrows

F A D

Just emptiness to dwell upon.

Bb G D

I fell into a winter slide

Bb C D

And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow

F A

Just sneaking out my measly pies.

G D A D

But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I

G D F A

Know there is this side of me that

G D A D

Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just

G D F A

Fly the whole mess into the sea.

D Bb G D

Another slow train to the coast

Bb C D

Some brand new gory art from way on high

F A D

I sink and then I swim all night.

Bb G D

I watch the ice melt on the glass

Bb C D

While the eloquent young pilgrims pass

F

And leave behind their trail

C A

Imploring us all not to fail.

G D A D

Of course I was raised to gather courage from those

G D F A

Lofty tales so tried and true, but

G D A D

If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this

G D F A

Modern thought can get the best of you.

Bm D G A G A

This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind

Bm D G A G A

Fate isn't what we're up against; there's no design, no flaws to find

G A G A

There's no design, no flaws to find.
