Castaways And Cutouts (album) by Decemberists
This is a bunch of songs made by various users, put together to form the album
Castaways and Cutouts. All credit is properly given. Without
these users the tab would not be the same. Thank You!
I have set the album up so that each song is assigned a roman numeral. To find
the song that you want, just hit control z (or command z, but only if you have
a Mac.) Then just type in the roman numeral. DO NOT FORGET TO PUT A PERIOD AFTER THE NUMERAL!!!!

Tuning: Standard
Intro: The Intro is a little confusing, if you want to get it right. The chords are
basically...
E Cmaj7 Asus2
You can play this and still sound good. But if you want to be perfect, then you should
know that the guitarist also, after the Asus2, plays all open strings once, and an Em
chord once, then repeats the whole thing. The second time he does this, he doesn't play
the Em chord, and just goes right to E.
This is kind of what it looks like. Listen to the song to get the rhythm perfectly.
(* the v^v is to show downstrokes and upstrokes, if you were to continually move your
hand up and down, even when not playing a note. I use it as a timing measurement.)
E Cmaj7 Asus2 Em

G|1---1-11-11-1111|00000000-2222000| then repeat, with a few subtle changes.

* v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^ v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Please note: I left an open E string in the bass for the whole time because it is
actually there. It�s not a typo. This is reflected in the chords below as well.
That's also the guitar part for most of the whole song.
Here's the rest of the song:
E Cmaj7 Asus2
My name is Leslie Anne Levine
E Cmaj7 Asus2
My mother birthed me down a dry ravine
E Cmaj7 Asus2
My mother birthed me far too soon
E B Asus2
Born at nine and dead at noon
A C#m
Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet
A
And shake my rattle bone
A C#m
Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats
C B E
Of the girl who died with me
E Cmaj7 Asus2 (Intro x2)
On the roofs above the streets
The only love I've known's a chimney sweep
Lost and lodged inside a flue
Back in 1842
Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs
And curse my mother's name
Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mesallied
Has brought this fate on me
E Cmaj7 Asus2 (Intro x2)
My name is Leslie Anne Levine
I've no one left to mourn for me
My body lies inside its grave
In a ditch not far away
Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet
And shake my rattle bone
Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoats
Of the girl who died with me
E Cmaj7 Asus2 (Intro x2)
Chords:
E [022100]
C [x32010]
Cmaj7 [032000]
Asus2 [002200]
B [x24442]
A [002220]
C#m [x46654]
That's pretty much it. A great song by a great band. Email me if you have questions,

And I built this balustrade to keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet, the structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go
And try one, and try two, guess it always comes down to
Alright, well okay, guess it�s better to turn this way...
And here in Spain I am a Spaniard
I will be buried with my marionettes
Countess and courtesans will fall beneath my tender hand
When their husbands are not around
But you my soiled teenage girlfriend
Though you are furrowed like a lioness
And we are vagabonds, we travel without seatbelts on
We live this close to death
And try one, and try two, guess it always comes down to
Alright, well okay, guess it�s better to turn this
Well I won, and you lose, guess it always comes down to

INTRO
E
VERSE I
A B E D
There is a road that meets the road that goes to my house
A B E
and how the green grows there.
A B E D
And we got special boots that beat the path to my house
A B E
and it's careful, and it's careful when I'm there.
VERSE II
And I say your uncle was a crooked French Canadian
and he was gunshot running gin
and how his guts were all suspended in his fingers
and how he held'em, how held'em, held'em in.
PRE-CHORUS
F#m E
And the water rolls down the drain.
F#m E
The water rolls down the drain. O what a

lonely thing! In a lonely drain!
CHORUS

never seemed so, never seemed so strange.
VERSE III
This is the story of the road that goes to my house
and what ghosts do there remain.
And all the thoughts that run the length and breadth of my house
and the chickens, how they rattle chicken chains.
Verse IV
And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient,
though the specifics might be vague.
And I'll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta
when in fact it was a nappy bluish gray.

IV. A Cautionary Song
Tabbed By: Unregistered
Intro-Dm/A x4
Dm/A G/D
There's a place your mother goes, when everybody else is soundly sleeping
Dm
Through the lights of beacon street
G
And if you listen you can hear her weeping,
A Bb
She's weeping, cause the gentlemen are calling
F
And the snow is softly falling on her petticoats.
Bb
And she's standing in the harbour
F
And she's waiting for the sailors in the jolly boat.
A
See how they approach
With dirty hands and trousers torn they grapple 'til she's safe
within their keeping
A gag is placed between her lips to keep her sorry tongue from
any speaking, or screaming
And they row her out to packets where the sailor's sorry racket
calls for maidenhead
And she's scarce above the gunales when her clothes fall to a
bundle and she's laid in bed on the upper deck
Gm A Gm A
Interlude-La la la la laa,la la la laa,
And so she goes from ship to ship, her ankles clasped, her arms
so rudely pinioned
'Til at last she's satisfied the lot of the marina's teeming
minions, in their opinions
And they tell her not to say a thing to cousin, kindred, kith or
kin or she'll end up dead
And they throw her thirty dollars and return her to the harbour
where she goes to bed, and this is how your fed
Gm A
So be kind to your mother, though she may seem an awful bother,
Gm A
and the next time she tries to feed you collard greens,
A Dm
Remember what she does when you're asleep
V. Odalisque
Tabbed By: aflowerandagun
* denotes power chord
The chord I called BaddF# is a (partially) barred B major played with the F# on the high
string (9th fret). It looks like this:
E--9-------------|
B--7-------------|
G--8-------------|
D--9-------------|
A----------------|
E----------------|
Strum that chord very slowly, accenting the F#. Watch the timing on some of them
it can be tricky. Please rate!

Intro: Dmaj7 Gmaj7 (x2)
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
this cocoon, caught in vesuvius' shadow
Dmaj7
only the ashes remain
Gmaj7
and I waited there for you
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
why couldn't you?
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
here we lie waiting for something to startle
Dmaj7
to shake us from gravity's pull
Gmaj7
and so sleeping hours are through
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
what can we do?
Bm Gmaj7 Em7
the sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to
Bm Gmaj7
but this is solution, and this is amends
Em7
the joke always tends to come true
C Am E
but there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon
C Am E
written in paperback, view to the quarterback's room
G
under waning moon
D/F# Dm/F Em
this quiet serves only to hide you
Bm/F# Em
provide you
G Gm Dmaj7 Gmaj7
what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
Dmaj7 Gmaj7
take this palm, follow the lines here are written
and script out the rest of your life
and feel your fingers falling slack and all folding back
the tainted election, the hole in the sky
command what is tried, what is true
but without solution, with feet on the ground
it won't make a sound 'til you're through
so loosen your shoulderblades
this is your hour to make due
because there on the timberline
deep cold November shines through
soft and absolute
this quiet serves only to hide you
provide in you
what I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you

VERSE 2
Some way to greet the year: your eyes all
bright and brimmed with tears. The
pilgrims, pills and tourist here all sing
"Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
I'm sweet on a green-eyed girl, all fiery
Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and
vinegar. I paid twenty-five vents to light a little white candle.

And the world maybe be long for you, but he'll
never belong to you. But on a motorbike, when

VIII. The Legionnaire�s Lament
Tabbed By: letdown00
VERSE I
Dm F
I'm a legionnaire, camel in disrepair,
G Bb A
hoping for a Frigidaire to come passing by.
Dm F
I am on reprieve, lacking my joise de vivre,
G Bb A
missing my gay Paree in this desert dry.
Dm F
And I wrote my girl, told her I would not
G
return, I've terribly taken a turn for the
Bb A Dm
worse now, I fear. It's been a year or more
F
since they shipped me to this foreign
G Bb
shore, fighting in a foreign, so far away
A
from my home.
CHORUS
F C
If only some rain would fall on the house and
Gm
the boulevards and the sidewalks bagatelles (it's
Bb F
like a dream). With a roar of cars and the
C Gm
lolling of the cafe bars and the sweetly sleeping
Bb Bbm
sweeping of the Seine. Lord, I don't know if I'll
Dm F G
Bb A
ever be back again. La Da Dum Dum La Da Da Dum
VERSE II
Medicating in the sun with pinch doses of
laudanum, longing for the old fecundity of
my homeland. Curses to this mirage! A
bottle of ancient shiraz! The smattering of
distant applause is ringing in my poor
ears. On the old left bank, my baby in a
charabanc, riding up the width and length
of the Champs Elysee.
