Lakehouse

here is lakehouse by of monsters and men . this is the original album version – the one
on the latest us release is arranged differently for some reason and misses the ’tallest
man i’ve ever seen afloat’ verse . if you want to learn to play that version you can use
this tab and just figure out the differences . in my opinion this is the better of the
two versions .

this is also the way they play the song live .

G C
oh i miss the comfort of this house
G
where we are , where we are
C
where we are , where we are
G C
the floor under our feet whispers out
G C
come on in , come on in , where it all begins

G C

G C
the tallest man i’ve ever seen afloat
G
on a boat , on a boat
C
on a boat , on a boat
G C
he keeps his only son close by
G
in a bag , in a bag
C
in a bag on his back

G C
can you chase this fire away
G C
can you chase this fire away

G C

G C
we climbed up to the top in worn out shoes
G
but she ran down , she ran down
C
she ran down to the house
G C
a fox that gains our trust but then breaks it as he walks
G C
away form us , away from us

G C
can you chase this fire away
G C
can you chase this fire away
Em C G
in the fall we sleep all day
Em C G
in the fall we sleep all day

G
where we are , where we are
C
where we are , where we are
G
where we are , where we are
C
where we are , where we are

G C
can you chase this fire away ( where we are , where we are – where we are , where we are )
G C
can you chase this fire away ( where we are , where we are – where we are , where we are )
Em C G
in the fall we sleep all day ( where we are , where we are – where we are , where we are )
Em C G
in the fall we sleep all day ( where we are , where we are – where we are , where we are )

Em C G
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ( played 8 times to end )
