Smog - Say Valley Maker

Me playing Say Valley Maker by Smog. I ballsed it up a bit near the end but can't really be bothered to redo it right now. First time I've ever recorded myself so go easy with the criticism, eh?!

If you're trying to work out how to play it, it's in open B - i.e. B,F#,B,D#,F#,B (low to high), and hopefully you can see the guitar reasonably easily. If you've got a higher voice just put it in open D or something like that and go from there.

Lyrics are:

With the grace of a corpse
In a riptide
I let go
And I slide slide slide
Downriver
With an empty case by my side
An empty case
That's my crime

And I sing (Say Valley Maker)
To keep from cursing
Yes I sing (Say Valley Maker)
To keep from cursing

River Oh
River End
River Oh
River End
River Go
River Bend

Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart blooms
Take me through the sweet valley
Where your heart is covered in dew

And when the river dries
Will you bury me in wood
Where the river dries
Will you bury me in stone

Oh I never really realized
Death is what it meant
To make it on my own

Because there is no love
Where there is no obstacle
And there is no love
Where there is no bramble
There is no love
On the hacked away plateau
And there is no love
In the unerring
And there is no love
On the one true path

Oh I cantered out here
Now I'm galloping back

So bury me in wood
And I will splinter
Bury me in stone
And I will quake
Bury me in water
And I will geyser
Bury me in fire
And I'm gonna phoenix

I'm gonna phoenix

@beardsarecool Do you know what the chords are in standard? thanks in advance!

I love how your vocals are so slow drawn out

hi, great song choice. Bill plays this in standard tuning though, or at least when i saw him live he did. It's quite easy to play in standard.
