Song: An Animal In Your Care
Artist: Wolf Parade
Album: At Mount Zoomer, Sub-Pop, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------
All chords are barred, unless tabbed out (well, the E/Em's are open)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Time after time
You will forgive me
Like an animal in your care
But give it time
You will outlive me
And take the bow back you put in my hair
Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house
For the New York photographer there
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
I fell for you because you're the only one that cared
------------------------------------------
And when I die
You can put on costumes
In the style of the clothes I wore
And sing the songs your lover taught you
When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.
[Over top of this la la la part a guitar comes in...]

Right at "toasts you made"]
Like some dead relative
You will remember me most by my funeral
And all the beautiful toasts you made
Take back the spade
We've both been filling up our days like we were filling in a grave

It also sounds as if Guitar 2 slides down to 2 on the G
at the end of the riff sometimes, instead of playing the
A note on the D
Guitar 3 plays overtop on the 4th time Guitar 1 plays
There is some improvisation with the riff as Dan repeats it...

You let me hang, hang, hang around
You put your ribbons in my hair

It's in this language that I found
I am an animal in your care

Animal in your care
It's in this language that I've found
I am an animal in your care
