The Decemberists — Picaresque

    	    	Вступление

This is a collaboration of tabs by different users to form the album Picaresque.
 All credit is properly given.
 I only add chords to finish the songs, and correct the capo a little.
 Without these users, this tab would be nothing.

I have set the songs all up with a roman numeral,
 so all that you have to do to find the song that you want is hit control 
(or command on macs) F. Note: remember to type . after the number when 
searching it.

I. The Infanta
Tabbed By: Unregistered

         E
Here she comes in her palanquin on the back of an elephant
     F                                 E
On a bed made of linen and sequins and silk

All astride on her father's line with the king and his concubines
        F                                      E
And her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

      E
Among five score pachyderm each canopied and passengered
        F                                     E
Sit the duke and the duchess's luscious young girls

Within sight of the baronness seething spite for this live largesse
       F                                   E
On her side sits the baron, her barrenness barbs her

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

(Interlude:)

  F
A phalanx on camel back, thirty ranks on a forward tack
         F#                                      F
Followed close, their shiny bright standards are waving

While behind in their coach in fours ride the wives of the king of bores
        F#                                F
And the veiled young virgin, the prince's betrothed

          Ab       Eb         F
And we'll all come praise the infanta
          Ab       Eb         F
And we'll all come praise the infanta

E                        F
And as she sits upon her place 
E                         F
Her innocence laid on her face
Bb                                F
From all atop the parapets blow a multitude of coronets
Bb                       F
Melodies rhapsodical and fair
Bb                            F
And all our hearts afire, the sky ablaze with cannonfire
   E                           F
We all raise our voices to the air
       E
To the air

    E
And above all this folderol on a bed made of chaparral
       F                             E
She is laid, a coronal placed on her brow

And the babe all in slumber dreams of a place filled with quiet streams
      F                                         E
And a lake where her cradle was pulled from the water

          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta
          G        D            E
And we'll all come praise the infanta

I fell on the playing field
Em
the work of an errant heel
Cadd9
the din of the crowd and the loud commotion
Am                     Dsus2
went deafening silence and stopped emotion
Gmaj7
the season was almost done
Em
we managed it 12 to 1
Cadd9
so far I had known no humiliation

with the captain of the other team
Cadd9
and all of this is clear to me

they condescend and fix on me a frown
Am       Dsus2
how they love

the sporting life


Gmaj7
And father had had such hopes
Em
for a son who would take the ropes
Cadd9
and fulfill all his old athletic aspirations
Am             Dsus2
but apparently now there's some complications
Gmaj7
but while I am lying here
Em
trying to fight the tears
Cadd9
I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger
Am                     Dsus2
though I think I might lie here a little longer


Cmaj7                         Gmaj7
There's my coach he's looking down
Cmaj7                             Gmaj7
the disappointment in his knitted brow
Em
I should've known he thinks again
Cadd9
I never should have put him in
Dsus2                  Cadd9
he turns and loads the lemonade away
Am              Dsus2
and breathes in deep
Gmaj7
the sporting life
Em

Cadd9

Gmaj7

Finish off by repeating the Verse Riff A, and the 1st Time Bar as many times as you
and finishing on on Am chord (the chord in the intro)

From my own true love, lost at sea. (lost at sea)

The rest of the song is a repeat of what

effort to figure out :)
