Song: we all know
Album: nino rojo (2004)
Intro: G Em (x4)
G Em
We all know
G Em
That the wind blows
G Em
And the moon glows
G Em
And our lungs grow
C
We belong to the floating hand
A7...
that's made by some animals,
G Em
And we all dance so
G Em
We can let go
G Em
And remove clothes
G Em
And trade lobes
C
Like the type of tongue that roots from your breast
A7...
and it shakes your pretty little clavicle,
G Em
A good friend
G Em
Is walking
G Em
To a homeland
G Em
An inside land,
And to him you can say
C
Leave your eyes at the horizon's dead door cause you
A7...
won't need them anymore,
G Em
The children
G Em
Da da da di dum spend the dawning
G Em
Da da da di dum and the morning
G Em
Da da da di ra disappearing
Hm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm m
C
They reappeared as the seed of love
A7 G Em
you know the earth births the vegetables,
G Em
We all know (x4)
Outro: (Enter horn section)
G Em

The song mainly consists of the top progression
but at various times frequents the lower.

Attempted made as far as possible to correspond the chord
changes w/lyrics.
Fingerpicked/strummed (of course)
d= down strum
u= up stum
ux= up muffle (get the down up motion going but just slightly
release pressure on the upward movement to create the small muffle)
Transcribed by ear, all my own work.
