Guitar tab "Adrianne Lenker - Free Treasure"

(posted on gist because ultimateguitar is sad capitalism)

Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1byELFnNn0 which seems easier than what Lenker played on the recording :)

Watch the video and notice that you let go of the last chord and play open strings for one beat before holding the next chord.

Tuning

EADGBD (last string is tuned 2 notes down)

Capo 6th

Chord

the "G" chord is only the first two strings, the rest is open:

[Verse 1]
C                       G
Do you wanna go to the river?
              D                G
I know this spot so deep and green
     Em                   G
With wild raspberries and apple trees
     D                 C
And rocks to climb between
D                        C
Water like a washing machine
C             G
Do you wanna dance?
             D               G
Sometimes I think I try too hard
   Em                        G
I trip on my shoes and I trip on my shirt
     D                         C
Get caught on the dirt in the yard
 D                         C
Caught on the dirt in the yard
 
[Chorus]
C
You show me
C      G
Understanding

Time and attention
D             C
Love without measure
D             C
Love without measure
 
[Verse 2]
C               G
You're cooking dinner
      D                        G
It's gettin' around half-past-ten
  Em                       G
I haven't smelled food so good
                     D                     C
Since I don't know where and I don't know when
D
Where and I don't know—
C           G
Stove light glows like a fire
       D                     G
We're sitting on the kitchen floor
      Em               G
Just when I thought I couldn't feel more
   D            C
I feel a little more
   D
I feel a little—
 
[Chorus]
C      G
Understanding
C              G
Patience and pleasure
C           G
Time and attention
D             C
Love without measure
D             C
Love without measure

[Verse 3]
C                     G
There's a guy at the nape of my neck
        D                   G
And he hangs out there all day
    Em           G
He quantifies my every thought
     D                C
And tells me not to play
     D                C
He tells me not to play
C                  G
We lay around for hours
D                     G
Talk about childhood pain
Em               G
Mom and dad and past lives too
D                   C
I can tell you anything
D              C
I can say anything
 
[Chorus]

You show me

Free treasure
D      C
Free treasure
