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!

(strummed and half picked, listen to the song for timing.)
Verse: Rain hits my head hard, It seems like this never will stop
I close my eyes, and I m like a girl in a crib
Afraid of what might come, but too scared to miss it, I know
I wouldn t miss you
for the world

Verse: But I m so lonely, well, I guess I have myself to blame
Cause I led you north, and I can t stop thinking of you
You remind me of somebody else, someone you d have seen in a film
And I wouldn t miss you
Bridge: for the world
So then I pick up my guitar
And describe you in a song
Like so many else did,
But not exactly the same way as I
Cause I describe your peculiar figure
And then I form a peculiar song
And by then you ll have made a difference
Chorus:
Oh, let me take you to Montauk
Cause that s where we re meant to be
We ll hit the road when you come back
And I ll walk you to the beach
Solo:
Bbdim7

(chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or
call a friend with a Stratocaster)
Bbdim7
Chorus: Oh, let me take you to Montauk
Cause that s where I m meant to be
We ll hit the road when you come back
And I ll take you to the beach
Bbdim7
I know you d like to see the beach
