Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a great song by one of the best (and most underated) bands ever. And no,
that isn't an opinion that' free to be debated. It's a fact;).
Anyway, here's the song:
Verse 1:
E B E A
"howdy, lem," my grandpa said with his eyes closed
E B E A
wiping the eastbound dust from his sunburned brow
A
a life before doubt.
Chorus:
G A G A
i smell the engine grease and mint the wind is blending
G A D F# G A
under the moan of rotting elm in the silo floor
Verse 2:
E B E A
down a hill of pine tree quills we made our way
E B E A
to the bottom and the ferns where thick moss grows
A
beside a stream.
Chorus:
G A G A
under the rocks are snails and we can fill our pockets
G A D F# G A
and let them go one by one all day in a brand new place
Interlude
E B E A X8 (same pattern as vese just it is played 8 times, not four)
Chorus:
G A G A
You were no ordinary drain on her defenses
G A D F# G
and she was no ordinary girl Oh, Inverted World
