Cecilia And Her Selfhood Acordes

(Capo 4, Standard Tuning)
 
Newly recorded version of their popular live song, listen to it here:

I'm pretty sure the chords are 100% accurate, but I don't know the correct
names. The exact guitar melody that plays through the entire song is a
slightly simplified version of what Conor plays. Listen to the song for
timing. Kind of a weird song structure with different chord patterns all
over the place. Beautiful song though. Oh and first tab so go easy ;)
 
 
 
These are some of of the less obvious chords.

Intro (No instruments)
 
In the center of the city was a statue and her twin
And together they watched over everything
Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand
I'd swear Cecilia and her sister had it all planned
 
Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door
Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw
Cecilia had been broken, while her sister had been spared
And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere
 
 
 
This is the kind of finger pick to do throughout the song

Verse A (Guitar enters here, Strum once for the first Verse):
 
FM                    C      Am                   FM
And I knew it made me wonder what kind of twisted mind
           C            Am              FM
Would ever hurt her, so thoughtless and unkind
                 C              Am           FM7
But a monster so cruel can't be that hard to find

Verse B:
 
     C
So I started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends
     Am                                     C
For Cecilia we'd be hunters 'till the end
She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent
         Am                       C
Though I guess I never understood exactly what it meant
 
 
 
Verse A:
 
          FM              C                Am              FM
Oh I know Cecilia and her sister were just statues made of stone
            C                      Am            FM
But I still missed her and now her sister's all alone
                   C
No that just won't do!
         Am                FM7
So let's raid the vandal's homes

Verse C:
 
      C
So we ventured out at sunrise
                                  Am
With our torches and our spears
        C
And our shotguns and our fears
                                  Am
And our carefully hidden tears
             C
For Cecilia, Cecilia
 
 
 
Verse A:
 
        FM              C
Now I'm thinking of the moment
            Am               FM
When we can look them in the eye
              C             AM                    FM
And make them sorry, 'cause tonight they're gonna die
                          C
Yeah, we'll shoot them up dead!
            Am                FM7
Leave their bodies where they lie

Verse D:
 
  C
So now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door
      Am                          C
Every shattered limb repeatedly reminding us of what we're searching for
And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim
            Am                                         C
Yes they're quite aware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain
 
 
 
Verse A:
 
         FM               C
They are dreaming of, the feeling of!
  Am              FM             C                 Am               FM
A trophy in their arms, a hero's welcome, claiming women with their charms
                  C                    Am               FM7
Oh I'm sorry if I hurt you, you know I swear I meant no harm
 
FM
Baby
 
 
 
Verse E:
 
       C                  EM7           Am                 CM7
So the trail, it keeps on turning as we wander through the streets
       FM              C         EM7           FM
I keep looking at, the pieces of Cecilia at my feet
 
 
 
        C
But the strangest thing occurs to me
When I stop to look around
       Am                            C
Oh I'd swear we are returning to the center of the town!
 
 
 
Verse A (Strum once for last verse.):
 
          FM                  C
Yes we're back here, where we started
      Am                   FM                     C
Where Cecilia used to stand, but her sister looks different
        Am                   FM
Please, tell me boys, if you can?
                       C
Is that a smile on her face?
          Am            FM7
Is that a hammer in her hand?
