Montauk The Alexandria Quartet
The Alexandria Quartet - Montauk
This song is originally played by two electric guitars, however, since I mostly
play acoustic and only have two hands, I decided to tab a campfire-friendly
version for one half decent performer. Please enjoy, and post your own darn
version if you disagree :) Yeah, and buy the album, it's pretty good!

(strummed and half picked, listen to the song for timing.)
Verse: [D]Rain hits [D/Db]my head [G6]hard, It [Em7]seems like this never will stop
[D]I c[D/Db]lose my [G6]eyes, and [Em7]I'm like a girl in a crib
[D]Afr[D/Db]aid of what might[G6] come, but [Em7]too scared to miss it, I know
[D]I w[D/Db]ouldn't miss you[G6]
for the [Em7]world
Intro 2: D D/Db G6 Em7

Verse: But [D]I'm so [D/Db]lonely, [G6]well, I [Em7]guess I have myself to blame
[D]Cause I [D/Db]led you [G6]north, and [Em7]I can't stop thinking of you
[D]You re[D/Db]mind me of somebo[G6]dy else, some[Em7]one you'd have seen in a film
[D]And I [D/Db]wouldn't miss[G6] you

Bridge: for the [A]world
So then I pick up my gui[Em7]tar
And describe you in a song[A]
Like so many else did[Em7],
But not exactly the same way as [A]I
Cause I describe your peculiar [Em7]figure
And then I form a peculiar [A]song
And by then you'll have made a [Em7]difference
Chorus: D D/Db
Oh, let me take you to Montauk
[G]Cause that's where we're [A]meant to [Bm]be
[Em7]We'll hit the road when you [A]come back
[G]And I'll walk you [A]to the beach
Solo: D D/Db G6 Em7
[A] [Bbdim7] [Bm]
[D] [D/Db] [G6] [Em7]
[A] [Bbdim7] [Bm]
(chords only, play around with them for something more interesting, or
call a friend with a Stratocaster)
Chorus: [Em]Oh, let me [A]take you to [Bbdim7]Montauk
[Em]Cause that's where I'm [A]meant to [Bm]be
[Em]We'll hit the road when you [A]come back
[G]And I'll take you [A]to the [Em7]beach
[Bbdim7]I know you'd like to see the [G]beach
Outro: D D/Db G6 Em7 (x2)

End on Em7, let ring on the last couple of notes.
