¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
I worked this out by listening to the song from Nature Bears a Vacuum, and listening to
an old concert by The Shins circa 2002. The lyrics are just taken from the internet with
a couple of my own ideas thrown in. This song should be played with barre chords, using
7th fret B as a starting point. The "Where I'm meant to be" section and the following E
F# run up should be played with open chords, certainly sounds like that's how it's done!
I hope this helps.
B Bb E
They want trash, they want you batting a lash
B Ebm E
I'll eat styes from elephants' eyes
B Bb E
They're in touch with their inner crutch
B Ebm
They wont stab but they'll grab
E F#
And that's just like the other
B Bb E
We get news and we drown it in booze
B Ebm E
We take lives from elephants' eyes
B Bb E
They're in bed with the crowd eating lead
B Ebm
It wont stop if you shop
E F#
With the lovers of bloodshed
E B
I went to school, and saw slides
A E - B
Of where I'm meant to be
E - B
Where I'm meant to be
E - G#
Were I'm meant to be
E F#
B Bb E
We need time like a kid eating limes
B Ebm E
We're in town when bees are let out
B Bb E
We get laughs through an osmotic patch
B Ebm
We're attached to the past
E F#
'Cause our future's a bleak one
E B
I went to school and saw slides
A E - B
Of where I'm meant to be
E - B
I'm meant to be
(Repeat the I'm meant to be line)
then end with
E G#
E F# x 3
End on B
