e|--------------------------------------------|B|-----13-------13------8-----8-----8-----8---| After this they just playG|--------12-------12-----7-----7-----7-----7-| variations on this riff,D|--14-------14-------9-----9-----9-----9-----| which are easy to figure outA|--------------------------------------------| once you know these chords.E|--------------------------------------------|
The next bit is quite hard to make it sound good on a guitar, but use a lot of reverb
a bit of distortion.
Epic explosion at 2:30 :
"Then we could be dancing..."
Follow the rhythm with these chords:
e|---------------------|B|---6----8---13---6---|G|---5----7---12---5---|D|---7----9---14---7---|A|---8---10---15---8---|E|---------------------|
Then for the next part:
"To hold you in time..."
e|-----------|B|---8---6---|G|---7---5---|D|---9---7---|A|--10---8---|E|-----------|
After return to the verse part. This should give you the key parts to the song.
Honestly, I think this is the best Animal Collective song ever, except maybe "Purple Bottle".
It's definitely their best on "Merriweather Post Pavillion". Buy it, it's worth every
penny.
