Lakehouse Chords

   
Here is Lakehouse by Of Monsters and Men. This is the original album version - the one
on the latest US release is arranged differently for some reason and misses the 'tallest
man I've ever seen afloat' verse. If you want to learn to play that version you can use 
this tab and just figure out the differences. In my opinion this is the better of the 
two versions.

This is also the way they play the song live.

Oh I miss the comfort of this house
                      G
Where we are, where we are
                      C
Where we are, where we are
    G                             C
The floor under our feet whispers out
                   G                   C
come on in, come on in, where it all begins

The tallest man I've ever seen afloat

On a boat, on a boat
               C
On a boat, on a boat
   G                        C
He keeps his only son close by
              G
In a bag, in a bag
               C
In a bag on his back

We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes
                         G
but she ran down, she ran down

She ran down to the house
  G                                 C
A fox that gains our trust but then breaks it as he walks

away form us, away from us
