Chords

Tabbed from Bowl of Fire's Oh! The Grandeur, where Bird plays it a half step down. Chords are lazily strummed on the offbeat. Bird will diminish or 7th chords when he feels like it and it adds a bluesy element... I play the first E and the chorus E (Music of hair...) on the 7th fret, then I walk up to G# from fret 2 for (Music of pain...). Not sure what the following chord is so I called it chord X:
[Chord X]

B|-------------------|

D|---4---4---4-------|
A|---3---3---3-------|
E|-------------------|

E
Wait, don't go too early

                            C#m
You're tired but everyone's tired

    A         Am
But no one is tired enough

     E                 B
Only wait a little and listen

E
Music of hair

G#
Music of pain

A                     X       E
Music of looms waving all our loves again

            A
Be there to hear it

Am              E
It's your only chance

G#
Hair will become interesting

C#m
Pain will become interesting

F#
second hand gloves

            A      Am
Will become lovely again

E
Wait

         G#     A
Wait for now
X distrust everything if you have to
    E
But trust the hours

             A           Am
Haven't they carried you everyWhere

      E
up to now
