EVERYTHING IS - Neutral Milk Hotel - from the Everything Is EP standard tuning, sounds good with barre chords. strumming patterns are easier to figure out if you listen to the Live at Chris Bilheimer's Birthday Party version, which you can download here as well as a load of other great stuff (just right click and Save Target As): Intro: - Growing sleepy as the rain falls As children draped in flowers form a chain They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls As night falls into dust and it's day again I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream Old men with kazoos and beating drums But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream It's just you and me and oh dear, our life has just begun ---- CHORUS -------------------------------------------- ---- Everything is beautiful here ---- It's spinning circles around my ears ---- I'm finally breaking free from fear (muted) And it's fading -------------------------------------------- Oh beautiful smiles, won't you stay awhile We could close the door and sleep all day It's a September sky with pretty pictures in my mind That's lost its feeling of so afraid Repeat chorus, repeat first verse, repeat chorus again then F to C for a while, end on C.
