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!

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:

        (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
