Sirens Of Your Toxic Spirit

• Bm

cool song from of Montreal's newest album, Lousy with Sylvianbriar. i basically learned 
how to play this song by watching the acoustic version on Youtube. i'm pretty sure this 
is how Kevin plays it on guitar. i thought someone would've uploaded it by now, but no  
one has and i have some free time rn so i thought i might as well do it. 

the song is arpeggiated the whole way through. i'm not going to tab it out, but it's 
easy. there are also some bass notes between the chord changes, mostly descending or 
ascending, depending on the root notes (for example when changing from Bm to E you play  
|-4-2-| on the E string, when changing from E to A you play |-2-4-| on the E string). there's 
also this little hammer on on the B string before you change from E7 to A that echoes  
the vocal melody. it's pretty easy to figure out. 

Intro: E7 | E7 | A  (here you play 2h3 on the b string and then on the g string) 


Bm 
What I recall 
E                               A        A/G#

Keep them in check but at this point 
                F#m            F#m/B           F#m          F#m/B

You've wounded you too, at least we can feel good 
                F#m            F#m/B           F#m          F#m/B
