Montauk Acoustic

The Alexandria Quartet - Montauk





This song is originally played by two electric guitars, however, since I mostly 

play acoustic and only have two hands, I decided to tab a campfire-friendly 

version for one half decent performer. Please enjoy, and post your own darn 

version if you disagree :) Yeah, and buy the album, it's pretty good!

        D         D/Db    G6       Em7       

Verse:  Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop

        D  D/Db    G6        Em7

        I close my eyes, and I'm like a girl in a crib

        D  D/Db             G6         Em7

        Afraid of what might come, but too scared to miss it, I know

        D  D/Db             G6 

        I wouldn't miss you

                Em7

        for the world

            D      D/Db    G6      Em7

Verse:  But I'm so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame

        D       D/Db    G6         Em7

        Cause I led you north, and I can't stop thinking of you

        D     D/Db             G6           Em7

        You remind me of somebody else, someone you'd have seen in a film

        D     D/Db         G6

        And I wouldn't miss you



                A

Bridge: for the world

                                Em7

        So then I pick up my guitar

                                  A

        And describe you in a song

                             Em7        

        Like so many else did,

                                        A

        But not exactly the same way as I

                                       Em7

        Cause I describe your peculiar figure

                                   A

        And then I form a peculiar song

                                       Em7

        And by then you'll have made a difference





Chorus: D                      D/Db            

        Oh, let me take you to Montauk

        G                        A        Bm

        Cause that's where we're meant to be

        Em7                         A  

        We'll hit the road when you come back

        G                 A

        And I'll walk you to the beach



Solo:   D       D/Db    G6      Em7

        A       Bbdim7  Bm

        D       D/Db    G6      Em7

        A       Bbdim7  Bm



        (chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or 

call a friend with a Stratocaster)





        Em         A           Bbdim7  

Chorus: Oh, let me take you to Montauk

        Em                     A        Bm

        Cause that's where I'm meant to be

        Em                          A

        We'll hit the road when you come back

        G                 A      Em7   

        And I'll take you to the beach

        Bbdim7                       G                  

        I know you'd like to see the beach





Outro:          D          D/Db         G6      Em7               (x2)
