Biografía:
Sufjan Stevens (Detroit, 1975) es, sin lugar a dudas, el artista más reconocido de la corriente neo-folk de los Estados Unidos.
Sus canciones recogen un universo fantástico y mítico, donde dragones, brujas, el cielo y el infierno dan forma a sus letras.
Stevens comenzó su carrera musical en una banda folk llamada Marzuki, originaria de Holland, Michigan. A su vez, formaba (y forma parte) de Danielson Famile, tocando varios instrumentos. Mientras aun estudiaba en la universidad

¡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!
BE AWARE: Sufjan is doing something fishy to the beat. The song can be written in 6/8 time signature, with
four metres per bar; however, while the first three metres of each bar both play along nicely with the 6/8
time signature, in many cases, the fourth metre is only 4 beats long. For example:
Am G6/B* D
What are you now?
1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4
Am G6* D/F#
Cas- tra- ted by your son
1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 1 2 3 4
This makes it hard to find a comfortable strumming pattern. I have marked the lines which do this with ! at
the beginning.
The song also has an extensive intrumental outro, which I did not tab; it's very spacey and it doesn't quite
work on just guitar.
