Vengeance Is Sleeping

vengeance is sleeping – neko case

note : i had to work out how to play this live without much messing about , so it’s not
accurate to the record – to get that you’ll have to detune your low E string to D , and
finger position accordingly! ( for clues , there’s a video on youtube where
someone’s accidentally just filmed the guitarist :

D = xx0232 D6 = xx0202 Em = 0x2000
A# = x10330 Gm = 3×0330 ( E ) = 0x0330
( C ) = x3x330 ( A ) = x0x330 ( C# ) = x4x330
D2 = x54030 E = 022100 C#5 = xx0132

i did not know what a brute i was
i dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
vengeance built me hastily and i dragged the clanging notion i was
nobody , nobody . . . nobody

all i had was my intention and my love invented all of you
oh , look what thoughts can do what thoughts can do
if by now you are not dead and buried you are most certifiably
married , oh married

i’m sure you’re sleeping sound with the mistress of the hours
the hours that grind your life to dust
your easy loves you keep like pets denied them you are powerless
whatever keeps you sleeping through the night

i’m not the man you thought i was
my love has never lived indoors
i’ve had to drag it home by force hired hounds at both my wrists
damp and bruised by strangers kisses on my lips

v5 : D / D / D / D / C#5 / C#5 / C#5/ C#5

but you’re the one that i still miss
you’re the one that i still miss
and it’s ruthless that it comes as no surprise
