Beautiful song off of Andrew Bird's latest album "Are you Serious". To my ear
it sounds
best played with barre chords with the C and Em frequently open. Amazingly,
the track on
the album was recorded in a single take by Blake Mills on guitar - play
around with hammer
on the A and E strings to emulate his wonderful playing style.
[Intro]
G
(pluck the open low E string then Hammer on into a Barre G to sound like the
recording)
[Whistling Bit]
Am G F

Am G F
G F C
[Verse]
Am G F
I keep hearing a vicious rumor
G Dm Em
From the back rooms, to the alleys, to the avenues
Am G F
That you lost your sense of humor
G F C
And the first place you look is the soles of your shoes
Am G F
And I watch these ice fields melt into the sea
G Dm Em
Warming you're oceans to centuries
Am G F
Will your saline waters bring you back to me?
G F C
Oh the weight is bringing me to my knees
[Chorus]
Am C G F
Chemical switches thrown in the dark
G Dm C
All it takes is a spark to begin
Am C G F
And can you tell which is the one with a mark
G Dm C
That bleeds through the clothes to the skin
[Whistling Interlude]
Am G F
G Dm Em
Am G F
G F C
