* Album tabs by Zachary William Snow *

********************************************************
Radar Bros. songs are not terribly difficult to play or to tab, but I've seen some
really bad tabs out there (especially "Tar the Roofs"), and I also noticed a general
lack of their tabs, so I decided to do these myself, dammit. As far as I know, these
are all correct, but I'm not entirely sure on some of the voicings, so if anyone has
questions or corrections, email me. All songs are album versions, and in normal tuning.
Oh, and I leave it up to you to figure out picking and strumming patterns. These are
slow songs, but their use of key changes and odd voicings is what makes them a bit weird.

You're cattled up and weeks behind

How long, how long
C7
Until we reach the bottom of the lake?
Then we'll see
Murky water visions
Misleading us again
There you are delivering your
Shifty lies and senseless visions
Overflow like frozen rivers
Stand in line, you watch the time
You're cattled up and week behind
How long, how long until we reach the bottom of the
Shifty lies and senseless visions
Overflow like frozen rivers
Stand in line, you watch the time
You're cattled up and weeks behind
How long, how long until we reach the bottom of the lake?
G C til fade.

03 - Shoveling Sons

Am F G
Shoveling sons keeping us awake
Am F G
Into the night's misfortunes we fade
Am F G
Giving the land's only fair eye
Am D7 G
Shoveling sons are marching away
F Am G F
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
F Am G
The only road paved by dead souls
Shoveling sons keeping good time
Digging the holes where others reside
Fortunate sons keeping us awake
Into the night's misgivings we fade
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
The only road paved by dead souls
And they never will credit you on the few times you ride
The only road worth your time
Am F G
Shoveling sons...
Am F G
Shoveling sons...
Am F G Am D7 G
Shoveling sons...
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
The only road paved by dead souls
And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
The only road paved by dead souls
Am C Am C
Shoveling sons...
Am C Am C
Shoveling sons...

04 - All the Ghosts
-------------------
[Note: this song is mostly piano with light electric guitar.
The piano would be too hard to tab exactly for guitar,
so these chords are not exact voicings, but just the basics.]
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
Em Em/F# Em/G
Have you been paid
C B
To bring us down
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
against our will again?
Em Em/F# Em/G
And how'd you follow us?
C B
And how'd you see?
Em Em/F# Em/G
Wishing's lost to the touch
C
To see your eyes are painted shut
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
And we won't come clean.
Em Em/F# Em/G C
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
Are you too late
To serve again a locked out salary?
Just buy me something.
I'll pay you later for these things.
Em Em/F# Em/G
We'll be cleared from your list
C
And all the ghosts who won't be missed
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
Won't come clean
Em Em/F# Em/G C
Won't come clean
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
Em Em/F# Em/G C
Em Em/F# Em/G C B
Em Em/F# Em/G C

05 - Find the Four
------------------
E A F D7 G C
E A F D7 G C
E A F D7 G C
Find the hour to tell me places I have never been
E A F D7 G C
And educate me of all things lost through sleep and wasted time
E A F D7
Out past the break and the slips
F D7
A row of foreign ships
G C
Our amnesty lies
Keep breathing lines from the books and sleep with your pants on
Hold allegiance 'til your contract's up, your time is out
Too real your head is a fog
And all that was done
Is dead on the run
Keep breathing page after page
Hire me today
Or throw me in jail
Outro: C Am F G7

You've been hired for their dirty work
Am
I can see it in your eyes
C C7
So long for now
E Cadd9
I will always be true to you
Am C C7
For a while you'll have to kill for food
Turn off all your sensors most of all
and relinquish your control
You're dead for now
By the rocks we throw you will be clear to hear
All the fates will be calling you
By the time you're here
All will be gone
G Am
All these changes and bank statements
C Am
They must make you kind of nervous

But throw away your lies
Priests of light
Burn down the evil land
You still have time to make it alright
To be free again

Five miles of unused highway

Three flares to bring you my way

Too late the kitchen's closed

We'll have to sleep forever now

Thin lines are paint between us

Outside the symphony of

Hellbound fortune-driven

Soldiers out on holiday
C Am E
C A F
C A
As you walk away again
G7 C
A dynasty of broken feet give in
F Fm
Four wakeless mornings beat the sun down
C
On the chaplain's head
A
And as he cues for you to sing
G7 C
Rhapsody you promised would bring
F Fm
All chapel-beaten soldiers down
C
Upon their knees again
F Fm C
F Fm C
F Fm C
C F
Wake up the town to bring lost parodies of

Faceless demons scattering away

On borrowed time the
Fm C C7
clock will unwind
C F Fm

Wake up the town to give us rhapsodies of
Fm C
Timeless rhythm scattering away

As formless creatures lift
C
The time from every working day

11 - Open Ocean Sailing
-----------------------
E F
C Am E F
You don't know me so you won't pay me anymore
C Am E F
And you won't hire me to come and clean your floor
C Am E F
But let me take you down to the lake so we can get paid
C Am E F
one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day
Until you're real I'll fall into your arms of hatred and harm
Until you're safe I'll fall into those places you've been running from so far
And you won't feed me angry pages anymore
The salted windows you will view me from no more
But let me turn you down so the rest of us could hear
one more time around
And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day

12 - Gas Station Downs
----------------------
[Note: Okay, so they get a little tricky here with us. This was by far the hardest song to figure out,
and I'd welcome any corrections, especially to the "Have fun done" part. I'm pretty sure I got it,
though. The B7add4 and D9(no3)/A are outlined rather than strummed, so it's pretty easy to hear the
individual notes.]
B7add4 = [X2120X]
D9(no3)/A = [X00210]
Organ intro [transposed for guitar]:
A Em A A A Em
E C Bb D Bb C walk to D
E C Bb D Bb
E C Bb D
Show your face 'round here again
Bb C
We'll have to burn the stations down
E C
One by one
Bb D
It's too bad your face
Bb C
reveals the state you'll be living in
E C
And in the time
Bb D
It takes you to run
Bb C
From end to end, you'll be dead again
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Have fun done
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
You're the same in the photograph
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
So keep your hands tied up
C E A A2 A A2 A A2 A A2
E C Bb D
You're the type everyone tries
Bb C
to have and run their watches by
E C Bb D Bb C
Only time ain't what they need
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Half contained
B7add4
With the land
D9(no3)/A
Half with the cell again
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
And if it made you think like others do
B7add4 D9(no3)/A
Come a long way to make you think like them
