you cant play this along with the song but i think it sounds ok to just play and sing 
your own guitar...i think. if you want to make corrections then email me: visceral_viscous@hotmail.com.


Am   C           G         Dm
Mes amis, we are restless things
Am     C           G      Dm
Little seaweed are swaddling
Am                    C
And you call upon the dusk
       G           Dm
Of the musk of the squid
Am           C              G
Shot full of ink, until you sink
          Dm
Into your crib

F           Am
Show me the house
         C
Upon the hill
               Am
Where you were living
F             Am
Fireplace was stoked
             C
The cupboard stocked
        Am
Full of provision
F                   Am
And the grandfather clock
         C
Upon the wall
            Am
Told us the time
F               Am
And then came a sound
           C
Love had to drown
           Am
Love, were you dying?

C               G     C
Oh was the fire moved away
Am         G    F
Fire moved away son?
C          G   C
Why whould you say
Am        Dm   F
I was the last one?

F for a few measures

Am         C     G            Dm
Scrub your knee, there's only skin
Am      C        G     Dm
Makes a sound of violins
    Am                C
And you call upon the dusk
       G           Dm
Of the musk of the squid
Am           C            G
Shot full of ink until you sink
          Dm
Into your crib

F           Am
Show me the house
        C
Upon the hill
               Am
Where you were living
F             Am
Fireplace was stoked
             C
The cupboard stocked
        Am
Full of provisions
F                   Am
And the grandfather clock
         C
Upon the wall
            Am
Told us the time
F              Am
And then came a sound
            C
Love had to count
       Am
On you dying

C               G     C
Oh was the fire moved away?
Am             G     F
Fire, it moves away, son
C       G         C
Oh, why would you say
Am        Dm   F
I was the last one?

F for a few measures

Am     C              G           Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
Am     C              G           Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
Am     C              G           Dm
All my bones they are gone, gone, gone
