Surprise, Surprise – Brett Dennen
Chords

This is such a great and hugely underappreciated song! I’m almost certain
that Brett
doesn’t do it this way, and there is a ton of adlibbing in the recorded

version, but

it’s a

good hasty-made foundation. Can be transposed and Capo’d if desired. It

sounds like it’s

on a higher fret in the recording. Listen to the song

for the strum pattern, it’s sort of syncopated.

Intro:
Am C Fbar Gbar x2

Verse 1:
Am C
Dark clouds gather in the afternoon
F
Come together just to cry
G
Seagulls struggling against the wind
Am
Falling out of the sky
Am C
Grandma's gathering aluminum cans
F
In a rusty shopping cart
G
Born-againers getting their lives together
Am
While my whole world's falling apart
Chorus:
F
Open up your eyes
G
It's happening all around you
F
If it hasn't found you
