Funeral Beds - The Districts - The Districts EP (2014)
A great song from The Districts, I couldn't find a tab on it anywhere so I thought
I'd try to figure it out and make one.
This is my first tab so I'm new to this, hope it's what you were after.

Fingerpicking that I like to play behind the song (not actual riff but it sounds
nice with the song.

Intro:
C, Am, F, C
[C]These great fields are stretching,
[Am]Taking me oh so far[C]
[C]Great fields are stretching,
[Am]Savannah stretching oh so far[C]
[Am]And this dry air is taking
[F]My girl and it's oh so hard[C]
[Am]And i wish i had a melody for a [F]songbird to sing back my love[C]
[Am]Oh my savannah,
[F]Did it have to be so hard?[C]
[Am]Oh my savannah,
[F]Taking all my love and all my heart[C]
---[After this it's the same chord progression throughout]---
Tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
And old john won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid
The fastest bullet flying,
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'Cause the plains they took my baby
And i'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay
And oh my savannah,
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh my savannah,
Taking all my love and all my heart
[Am]Oh no no ...
[F]Oh no no ...
[C]Oh no no ...
And i'm strugglin[Am]g, and I'm stumbling[F],
And i need to start[C]
I'm struggling[Am], and I'm stumbling[F]
And I need a friend[C]
And i'm strugglin[Am]g, and I'm stumbling[F],
I need you in my heart[C]
[Am]Oh no no ...
[F]Oh no no ...
[C]Oh no no ...
[Am]Tailor won't you make me
The [F]finest suit so dark and black and [C]grey
[Am]And old john won't you lend me
The [F]finest gun your eyes have ever [C]laid
[F]The fastest bullet flying,
So quick nobody ever feel no [C]pain
'Cause the [F]plains they took my baby
And i'm [C]gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay[C]
[Am]Oh no no ...
[F]Oh no no ...
[C]Oh no no ...
[Am]Oh no no ...
[F]Oh no no ...
[C]Oh no no ...
And i'm strugglin[Am]g,and I'm stumbling,[F]
And i need to start[C]
I'm struggling[Am], and I'm stumbling[F]
I need you in my heart[C]
I hate to [Am]say i love you,
But oh goddamn i [F]love you,
You know i [C]do
But you're gone aw[Am]ay, gone aw[F]ay, gone aw[C]ay
These great [Am]fields are [F]stretching,
Taking me oh so [C]far
