Deer Tick
"Smith Hill"
*Capo on 2

+So I just started getting into Deer Tick, and to my dismay I
only ran across some very mediocre tabs. Hope this one 
helps somebody out, it's a fantastic song! Although there are
two guitars when they play it, both live and on the record, I 
tabbed it so that one person could possibly play it and this is 
the way that I've played it live. Sounded awesome, so here ya guys go. 
Enjoy!

0-2-4 walk-up on A string 


Verse 1:
D                   G
Elbows on the window sill
D                             A
My head against the pane
Bm                            G
You've seen so many grow and die
D                             A
But you forgot most of their names


0-2-4 walk-up on A string 


Verse 2:
     D                        G
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
      D                        A
And I hope that it never comes down
Bm                     G
Unless you're coming with it
     D                A
It's better with you around 

Bm, G, D, A x2


Verse 3:
        D                G
I could drink myself to death tonight
            D               A
Or I could stand and give a toast
   Bm                G
To those who made it out alive
     D                 A
It's you I'll miss the most


Verse 4:
       D                 G
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
D                       A
I've got a fifty dollar bill
    Bm                G
But somewhere in her weak heart
    D             A
She knows I never will

Chorus (distortion):
      Bm  G5              D5       A5
Oh love,    it's hard to hide it
        Bm  G5               D5       A5
True love,     it's hard to find it
       Bm G5            D5        A5
Though I     was once beside it
       Bm   G5          D5       A5
I've fallen     far behind it


Verse 5:
D5                           
from a tiny room up on Smith Hill
                 A (clean)
It's easy to disappear
Bm                      G
It's easier to run off hiding
D                          A
Then say "I don't want you here"


Verse 6:
D                 G
I can't stand to face the facts
     D                 A
It'd only leave you hurt
Bm                          G
I don't care much for what you have to say
D                                A
But I'd like to know what you heard

Oh love,    it's hard to hide it

True love,     it's hard to find it
       Bm G5            D5        A5
Though I     was once beside it
       Bm   G5          D5       A5
I've fallen     far behind it


Bridge:
G                     D    D7
It's a long way free
G                           D
You can't tread on me
               C                      G                   
And in the morning when you're crying
A
You'll see
