Oh Woe

Song by Ben Gibbard on his debut solo album. No capo. My first tab too, so let's hope this goes well. 


G           C      G 
Oh, woe why do you stay 
Em                    C     G 
And make me feel this awful way? 
    C                         F      C 
You filled my heart with your solemn tune 
       G               C      G 
And an endless burning bluish hue 

      D              Em   C 
It's been a basement of a year 
    G                       C     G 
And all I want's for you to disappear 

    G           C         G 
But oh, woe you caught my eye 
      Em                    C     G 
And I thought that I'd give you a try 
           C                F       C 
But you're nothing like the way you look 
   G                C         G 
In all those famous songs and books 

    D                 Em        C 
And now I see how you snuff the light 
    G                      C     G 
And kill the ones who hold you inside 

   Em              Bm                C         G 
And I can feel you grow in me like a forest of green 
    Em                            C              
And it's so confounding trying to cut you down 
          G                 D 
Trying to find a place to begin 

Solo: G C G... 

G              C         G 
Oh, woe please hear this plea 
   Em            C        G 
To walk away and leave me be 
      C                  F     C 
I've weathered more than I can take 
         G           C      G 
Of your ever-present lonely ache 

     D               Em   C 
It's been a basement of a year 
    G                       C    G 
And all I want's for you to disappear 

      D              Em   C 
It's been a basement of a year 
    G                       C   Em 
And all I want's for you to disappear 
    G                       C    G 
And all I want's for you to disappear.
