Drop It Doe Eyes Chords

This is a good song by quite a well known Indie-Pop band called Los Campesinos,
it's simple to play the chords, but to play the chords and synth melody together may
some practice.
 
 
Intro:
 
Down-Up-Down strums for the E chord, followed by the melody.
 
E|-0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--4-0-2-4--0-0-0--4-0-2-0--0-0-0--7-7-4-5--|
B|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------|
G|-1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------1-1-1-----------| x2
D|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------|
A|-2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------2-2-2-----------|
E|-0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------0-0-0-----------|
 
 
Followed by:
 
E|-0-4-0-4-0-4-0-4-|

using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret.
Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord.
 
Verse:
E
You expected my war diaries
    B
But time ran out and I, I let you down
        A
A small thanks note written in French
           B
is no shorthand for this thing gave me writers cramp.
 
E
Another dream about shapeshifting
     B
Well we move with such elegance
          A
With such grace
                           B
With all our dignity just in place
 
 
For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick.
 
E|-7-|
B|-9-|
G|-9-|
D|-9-|
A|-7-|
E|-0-|
 
E
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open
Deer die
With their eyes wide open
 
Verse:
        E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
        B                             A
To get across a sense of impending doom
                                   B
And the leaves like the artwork to Major Leagues
                                      E
look like dead foxes on the hard shoulder
 
And for some reason I think that I attributed
     B                                            A
This story to the bypass of a town I haven't visited
                                                    B
So goes the backing track of all the sighs we ever sighed
 
[Chorus]
 
Breakdown:
 
(Play an E chord, building up gradually)
 
E
Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get across a sense of impending doom
And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
And there are little more than pictures
of how I see you on an x-ray machine
That's more like a television screen and you're in a rut
And I know that you know what I mean
And the realisation hits that
Not even two gospel choirs can save us now.
 
(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord
just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as
as possible.)
 
 
Post-Chorus:
 
(Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A
at the end of each line)
 
   E   A
E|-7---12-|
B|-9---14-|
G|-9---14-|
D|-9---14-|
A|-7---12-|
E|-0------|
 
E               A
Turn up on your doorstep
E            A
Feeling like roadkill
E            A
Tasting like postage stamps
E               A           E              A
And when I turn to you, you fold like an envelope
E                      A
With everything I ever wrote
E           A
Pouring out of your mouth.
 
End on E
