LESLIE ANNE LEVINE - Decemberists Tabbed by: Wolfey89 Email: truegoogle@yahoo.com (I don't check my email very often, so if I don't reply immediately you know why) Tuning: Standard The Intro is a little confusing, if you want to get it right. The chords are basically... You can play this and still sound good. But if you want to be perfect, then you should know that the guitarist also, after the , plays all open strings once, and an chord once, then repeats the whole thing. The second time he does this, he doesn't play the chord, and just goes right to . This is kind of what it looks like. Listen to the song to get the rhythm perfectly. (* the v^v is to show downstrokes and upstrokes, if you were to continually move your hand up and down,even when not playing a note. I use it as a timing measurement.) * v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ Please note: I left an open string in the bass for the whole time because it is actually there. it's not a typo. this is reflected in the chords below as well. That's also the guitar part for most of the whole song. Here's the rest of the song: My name is Leslie Anne Levine My mother birthed me down a dry ravine My mother birthed me far too soon Born at nine and dead at noon Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet And shake my rattle bone Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats Of the girl who died with me (Intro x2) On the roofs above the streets The only love I've known's a chimney sweep Lost and lodged inside a flue Back in 1842 Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs And curse my mother's name Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mesallied Has brought this fate on me (Intro x2) My name is Leslie Anne Levine I've no one left to mourn for me My body lies inside its grave In a ditch not far away Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet And shake my rattle bone Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats Of the girl who died with me (Intro x2) Chords: [022100] [x32010] [032000] [002200] [x24442] [002220] [x46654] That's pretty much it. A great song by a great band.
