Chords

The guitar is a bit lower than standard tuning, but I don't think it's entirely down a half-step. I don't know. Daniel Johnston tuning was always a bit off. from 1990 G C G G C G C G C G D C7 G C G
G               C           G
Time is a matter of fact

           G                  C            G
And it’s gone and it’ll never come back

       C                               G     C     G
And mine, it’s wasted all the time

  D                                     C     C7
Tears stupid tears bring me down
G C G G C G
         G           C    G
I got lucky by coincidence

         G        C        G
But I got my feelings bent

           C                           G    C   G
And my head looking at the ground

  D                                   C    C7
Tears stupid tears bring me down
G C G G C G
 Am                Em                            G          C   G
How could you know that’s where the wind blows

Am           Em                          G            C   G
Out to the wind, that’s where my love goes

          G                 C    G
And it brings me down

           C                G    C   G
Tie my brain into a knot

         D                                    C    C7
Those tears stupid tears bring me down
G C G G C G
   G              C        G
I know that I have a friend

     G                C        G
He stays with me all day long

     C                              G  C   G
He knows, and I walk in his shell

       D
I was born in the body
And right from the start
          C                  C7
Those tears stupid tears 

                          G   C  G
Been tearing us apart

 Am                Em                            G          C   G
How could you know that’s where the wind blows

Am           Em                          G            C   G
Out to the wind, that’s where my love goes

          G                 C    G
And it brings me down

           C                G    C   G
Tie my brain into a knot
