"BRAND NEW COLONY"
>From "Give Up" by the Postal Service
Music by Benjamin Gibbard & Jimmy Tamborello
Words by Benjamin Gibbard
Chord transcription by David William (kinghaircut@superfantastique.com)
On the album, this song relies heavily on Jimmy's drum programming to move it along, and the chord changes are noted by the synthesized bass/keyboard sound... but these are the underlying chords as I heard them:
(NOTE: in the intro and the instrumental breaks, each dash represents a beat, with the chord letter representing a beat as well. So for example: 2 measures of C is the letter C followed by seven dashes... making for 8 beats of C.)
INTRO:
(under the beepboop sounds): C-------Em---Am--- (x2)
(and when the bass notes come in): C-------Em---Am---F-------G---Em---
VERSE 1:
C Em Am
I'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and served with the table set,
F
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman.
C Em Am
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick,
F
Where you will sit and contemplate your day.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
C-------Em---Am---F-------G---Em--- (x2)
VERSES 2 & 3:
C Em Am
I'll be the water wings that save you if you start drowning in
F
An open tab when your judgment^Тs on the brink.
C Em Am
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back
F G
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep...
C Em Am
I'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you,
F
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes...
C Em Am
I'll be your winter coat, buttoned and zipped straight to the throat,
F
With the collar up so you won't catch cold.
BRIDGE:
Am F C
I want to take you far - from the cynics in this town
Am F
and kiss you on the mouth - we'll cut our bodies free
C Am
from the tethers of this scene - start a brand new colony
F C
where everything will change - we'll give ourselves new names
Am F
identities erased - the sun will heat the ground
C G
under our bare feet - in this brand new colony
*Am---F---C---G---
brand new colony...
(*HERE IT SEGUES INTO THE SLOWER END PART.)
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Am---F---C---G--- (x2)
Am F C G Am---F---C---G---
Ev-ry-thing... will change... ooo ooo... ooo ooo... (x3)
END ON: Am
