Thanks to Josh Ritter for this amazing and haunting song.
Thanks to those who've already posted tablature for this song.
Still figuring out a good intro
 
For this song, Josh tunes his whole guitar down one and a half steps.  So E
becomes C#, A becomes F#, and so on.
 
h = hammer on
 
The basic chords are C G B7 Em D
 
 
     Chord pattern I:
 
"If this was the cold war we could
 C                       G

keep each other warm," I said

on the first occasion that I met Marie
 G                       D                       C                      G

     then repeat all that..
 
We were crawling through the hatch
that was the missile silo door
and I don't think that she really thought that much of me
 
     Chord pattern II:
 
I never had to learn to love her, like I

came along and started to ignore me
 Em                      G                 D                      C

     and then repeat II...
 
as we waited for the big one
I started singing her my songs
and I think she started feeling something for me
 
 
     This repeats, I,II,I,II, for the whole song, with one small exception in
     the last verse...
 
We passed the time with crosswords that she thought to bring inside
What five letters spell "apocalypse" she asked me
I won her over saying "W.W.I.I.I."
She smiled and we both knew that she'd misjudged me
 
Oh Marie it was so easy to fall in love with you
It felt almost like a home of sorts or something
And you would keep the warhead missile silo good as new
And I'd watch you with my thumb above the button
 
Then one night you found me in my army issue cot
And you told me of your flash of inspiration
You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought
And all night long you drove me wild with your equations
 
Oh Marie do you remember all the time we used to take
We'd make our love and then ransack the rations
I think about you leaving now and the avalanche cascades
And my eyes get washed away in chain reactions
 
Oh Marie if you would stay then we could stick pins in the map
Of all the places where you thought that love would be found
But I would only need one pin to show where my heart's at
In a top secret location three hundred feet under the ground
 
We could hold each other close and stay up every night
Looking up into the dark like it's the night sky
And pretend this giant missile is an old oak tree instead
And carve our name in hearts into the warhead
 
Oh Marie there's something tells me things just won't work out above
That our love would live a half-life on the surface
So at night while you are sleeping
I hold you closer just because
As our time grows short I get a little nervous
 
I think about the Big One, W.W.I.I.I.
Would we ever really care the world had ended
You could hold me here forever like you're holding me tonight
 
Em     G        D        C

I think about that great big button and I'm tempted

you can also play with a capo on the 7th fret, with the same chords, in a live acoustic version he plays it this way

Great tab, have you figured out the intro? Also on the first chord pattern something doesnt feel right about the "...that I met Marie" C chord, i feel the 2 should just be a 1

if you are lazy like me and don't like to tune down, put the capo on the 2nd fret and use these chords: Verse: G D F#7 Bm D A G D Chorus: Bm D Bm D Bm D A G
