                        The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure - Magnetic Fields
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Tabbed by:afterthewar

Tuning:Standard

I did the bass tab for this awhile back, so I figured I'd add the
(impossibly simple) guitar part as well. Now all I have to do is tab
the synth (which I will do, when I have massive amounts of time.)

[Intro]

A          G       D
I met Ferdinand de Saussure
A    G          D
On a night like this
A                        
On love he said
G        D
"I'm not so sure
A      G            D
I even know what it is
A        G
No understanding
   D
No closure
A       G   D
It is a nemesis
A             G     D
You can't use a bulldozer
A        G        D
To study orchids, he said so

[Chorus]
A             G  D
We don't know anything
A              G  D
You don't know anything
A            G  D
I don't know anything
   A       G D
About love
A          G D
And we are nothing
A       G D
You are nothing
A    G D
I am nothing
     A         G D
Without love"

[Instrumental]
A G D
A G D
A G D
A G D

[Verse 2]
A          G        D
I'm just a great composer
A         G       D
And not a violent man
A          G     D
But I lost my composure
A          G    D
And I shot Ferdinand
A             G          D
Crying, "It's well and kosher
A                G    D
To say you don't understand
A               G       D      A
But this is for Holland-Dozier-Holland"
G        D
His last words were:

[Chorus]
A             G  D
We don't know anything
A              G  D
You don't know anything
A            G  D
I don't know anything
   A       G D
About love
A          G D
And we are nothing
A       G D
You are nothing
A    G D
I am nothing
     A       
Without love"
    G      D
His fading words were

[Chorus]
A             G  D
We don't know anything
A              G  D
You don't know anything
A            G  D
I don't know anything
   A       G D
About love
A          G D
And we are nothing
A       G D
You are nothing
A    G D
I am nothing
     A         G D A
Without love"
