Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
** The song is recorded with a guitar tuned down a half-step to Eb**
(Eb Ab Db Gb C Eb)
(palm-muted) E x16
**Verse 1**
E
I was raised up believing
A
I was somehow unique
B
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
A E
Unique in each way you can see
E
And now after some thinking
A
I'd say I'd rather be
B
A functioning cog in some great machinery
A E
Serving something beyond me
**Chorus** (begin strumming)
E A
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
**Verse 2**
E
What's my name, what's my station
A
Oh just tell me what I should do
B
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
A E
That would do such injustice to you
E
Or bow down and be grateful
A
And say "Sure take all that you see"
B
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
A E
And determine my future for me
**Chorus** (with vigor)
E A
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
**Verse 3** (with subdued enthusiasm / palm-mute)
E
If I know only one thing
A
It's that every thing that I see
B
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A E
Often I barely can speak
E
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
A
And I can't keep it to myself
B
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
A E
Why should I wait for anyone else?
**Chorus** (With renewed intensity)
E A
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
E A E
I'll come back to you someday soon myyyy--self
**Awesome**

Amaj7
If I had an orchard
E F#m
I'd work till I'm raw
E
If i had an orchard
(C#m) Amaj7
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
And you would wait tables
E Amaj7
And soon run the store
E Amaj7
Gold hair in the sunlight
E Amaj7 F#m
My light in the dawn
E
If I had an orchard
(C#m) Amaj7
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
If I had an orchard
E Amaj7
I'd work till I'm sore
E Amaj7
OoooooOOOhhhh
E F#m
OoooooOOOhhhh
E A
OohhhhhhoooOOOOhoooohhhh
E A
Someday I'll be
E A E
Like the man on the screen
