Montezuma Fleet Foxes
Ok, so on the album I think he uses a kind of open tuning, but when he pays it
live, he uses standard tuning in the key of C. Here are the chords as far as I can
make them out. He is travis picking. Hope this is helpful!
Intro: C
So now[C] I am o[F-G-C]lder [Em]
than my mother and fath[F]er[Em]
when they had their da[Am]ughter
now [G]what does that s[F]ay about me[G]?[G7]
Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
could I wash my hands of
just looking out for me?
Oh man[F] what I[Em] used t[Am]o be
[Em]Oh m[G]an o[Em]h m[Am]y o[F]h me[G] [G7]
Oh ma[F]n what [Em]I used t[Am]o be
[Em]Oh m[G]an o[Em]h [Am]my [F]oh [G]me[G7]
In dearth or in excess
both the slave and the empress
will return to the dirt, I guess, naked as when they came
i wonder if I'll see any faces above me
or just cracks in the ceiling
nobody else to blame?
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man that I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
INTERLUDE (this part I am less sure about)
[F]Oh[Am]hhh[G]hhh
[F]Oh[Am]hhh[G]hh[F]hh[G]
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
every piece of your dowry
throw them into the tomb with me
bury them with my name
Unless i have someday
Ran my wandering mind away
Oh man what i used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh man oh my oh me
