WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | New Pornographers - Adventures In Solitude Chords | Ver. 1
I put brackets around chords where the song stays on
the same chord through two measures, but doesn’t emphasize it the
second time. Thanks for the lyric emails, I updated them,
but the end still seems a little off.

Extra notes:
If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion,
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the
middle and it should fall into place.
Someone’s quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and here’s what s/he’s playing.
