Biography:
Bands typically break up after college. People move away, grow apart, or just shrivel up and get jobs. It was good while it lasted, right? But what happens when the music is so good, the band’s listeners so devout, the ambition to keep creating so strong that even the time-draining power of day jobs can’t get in the way? Such is the story of Faded Paper Figures, whose “day jobs” are not exactly easy gigs: Heather Alden is in residency after graduating from medical school (a real doctor!)

San Narciso (Acoustic) - Faded Paper Figures
Standard Tuning, capo 4
The intro notes are a little weird- the beginning matches the chorus, and the rest
should be each chord for two measures. Listen to the song to get a feel for the strum pattern
C F C E Am F C
G C E Am F C E
A F
Out to sea we hear Los Angeles calling
C E
each one of us falling into Vorticist dreams.
A F
In the air you see the city cells sprawling
C E
like circuits installing these silicon dreams.
Am F
Oh, I run out of my insides,
C
and so I go out to find you,
E
but then something reminds you
F C
Oh, San Narciso shines from sea to sea,
E Am
the message we're sending, we want to believe.
F C F C
Oh, concentrate and watch us move the sea.
E Am
Entropically trending, but we want to believe,
C
yeah, we want to believe.
Em Am F C E
G F
I can work the phones to sort out these demons
C
with some formal agreements,
E
or you could let down your hair.
Am F
I can feel your pulse break free from surveillance,
C
now it's the last thing that makes sense,
E
the only reason I care.
Am F
Oh, I ran out of my insides,
C
and so I'm coming to find you-
E Em
before something reminds you
F C
Oh, San Narciso shines from sea to sea,
E Am
the message we're sending, we want to believe.
F C
Oh, concentrate and watch us move the sea.
E Am
Entropically trending, but we want to believe,
C
yeah, we want to believe.
Am F C E C E C E
Outro is pretty much two measures of each, you can "ooh" along like the song does if you want!
I noted this as acoustic because it sounds a lot better, but I based it off the original.
If you notice any mistakes, please correct me! Happy playing xx
