Rilo Kiley - Hail To Whatever You Found In The Sunlight That Surrounds You Chords & Tabs

Rilo Kiley
“Hail To Whatever You Found In the Sunlight that Surrounds You”
off of the album, The Execution of All Things

CAPO 2nd fret
key of Bm

I know this isn’t exactly like the recording, but it’s what I came up with, and it works 
to sing along to.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, the basic riff has a baseline walk– makes it easier to 
out the tempo if you keep this in mind.  Also, for the G note on the sixth string (fret “1” 
the E string in the tab), I use my thumb.

Have fun with this gorgeous, haunting song.

Strumming: (/) = downstroke (entire chord)
           (\) = upstroke (“)
           (\ /) = up-down (“)

outro:

improvise and/or strum chords. you’ve a lot of time to fill, probably want to cut it off early.
