Capo isnt really necessary. You can just play it with all normal barre chords half a step up.
+2   December 18 2011, 08:23 pm by Theavsfan |
Absolutely. If you would prefer to play it that way, I would recommend transposing to "Up 1 Half Step".

I transcribed it with a capo on the first fret because Nanna and Raggi both play it this way live, as can be seen in the KEXP performance I posted earlier.

Holy cow I LOVE this song!

Great job!

However, verse 2
"Some days I think that I'm wrong when I'm right"
should be
"Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I am right"

Thank you!

You are correct. I've changed it and the tab should be updated within the next 48 hours or so.

What is the strumming pattern.? :) Or is there an easy way to figure that our? I always struggle with it...
+1   April 19 2012, 12:51 pm by Theavsfan |
Well, all of the verses are just single strums of each chord. The chorus is a little faster, but still a pretty simple strumming pattern.

I would recommend watching the live video posted above and trying to play along. Nanna and Raggi have the focus for the majority of the video, so it shouldn't be too difficult to see how they're strumming.
+3   April 20 2012, 11:29 am by IkeForPresident |
In the second verse on the 5th line it should be:

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right

:)
April 20 2012, 03:21 pm by Theavsfan |
You are correct. It's been updated. Thanks!
+1   June 17 2012, 10:36 pm by surealsim |
I think it should be (but am not sure):

Am               F                C                  
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
   Am                 F                C
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
    Am             F              C
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
         Am            F                C
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
  Am           F      C
Some days I can't even trust myself
     Am               F            C
It's killing me to see you this way

and

      Am          F          C     G
Don't listen to a word I say.      Hey!
     Am          F             C     G
The screams all sound the same.      Hey!

however I got this from listening to the song from their american release not watching the video, so it may be wrong/different...
+1   July 1 2012, 09:34 pm by Musiclover49 |
I believe (and this is a just a small, unnecessary thing) that instead of the F chord, it is Fm7 (x03210), and G7 (320001) instead of G throughout the whole song. In the video, it sounds more accurate, and from what you can see of the fingering, it also looks correct. Although it sounds good either way. Thanks!
+2   July 2 2012, 12:25 pm by Musiclover49 |
Sorry, I just realized I was concentrating on how Nanna was playing. :) Raggi uses regular G.
+1   August 20 2012, 12:16 pm by CamelToeJoe |
As for the lyric corrections....there are two versions.
One version for the Icelandic release and I suppose they tweeked the lyrics for the UK and US release.

Thanks for the tab!

I loved this song the first time I heard and I can't wait for more of their songs to "get out there" .
P.S It doesn't really matter if the chords are in the wrong place, you can just play them in the right place yourself!!!
September 16 2012, 07:49 pm by Theavsfan |
Hi guys. Thanks for the correction. I've updated the positioning of the Am chords in the first and second verse.
-1   October 22 2012, 05:55 am by kayko |
I'm pretty sure that they're playing F as xx321x both of them and Nanna and the guy behind the bass player uses G7 (320001) or it's just muting high strings.
October 26 2012, 06:44 am by synyster_A7X |
Instead of playing F 133211. play x3321x
-6   November 12 2012, 03:47 pm by acewos |
Sorry boyz but the right sequence is C# G# Bbmin F#

-2   January 19 2013, 05:08 am by aviale |

January 21 2013, 01:58 pm by FloraEnright |

-2   March 4 2013, 01:26 am by aviale |
This cliched chord progression should be banned from music these days.
March 6 2013, 11:01 pm by snowfire694 |
ya If we can do bar cords, we could just not use a capo.
+2   March 7 2013, 06:07 pm by cassididdy1 |
perfect. 100% for sure dude! :D
March 9 2013, 01:13 am by babovnikova |
Is it right key???
I think it Db
March 14 2013, 06:15 pm by Pickle_Pancake |
What is the strum pattern?
+1   March 24 2013, 06:22 pm by shalom.ajimoko |
For without capo, Bm replaces Am, G replaces F, D replaces C and A replaces G.
March 26 2013, 01:18 pm by Adriatic |
like it was said the guy-singer plays F like this x33210 and G like 320033, and the girl is not playing G7 she is playing regular G (320003) she is holding the high e string with her pink so she is not shifting hand positions.

lyriiicssss
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
should be
Soon it will ALL be over and buried with our past

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
should be
Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I'm right

Could someone post an edited version? There are too many corrections said out here and it will do us good if someone's gonna do a bigtime correction. And I'm a freaking beginner outta here. Thank you :)

Just heard it on the radio for once and I decided to play it.
April 13 2013, 10:58 am by Spadge71 |
Thx for submitting, nice work
April 13 2013, 11:01 am by Spadge71 |
I always play my F's like this, it's lazy but it still sounds ok, but perhaps misses the bass tone.
April 21 2013, 01:08 pm by Lunaraven |
Love it! excellent job!
