Verse: (Just use B: X244XX and E: 0122XX, the intro pattern isn't done here)

B                 E
Growing sleepy as the rain falls

B                                    E
As children draped in flowers form a chain

B                                    E
They sing a song with jelly jars and bird calls

B                                E
As night falls into dust and its day again

B                                                  E
I'm not afraid of a love parade in my daydream

B                                          E
Old men with kazoos and beating drums

B                                                  E
But I awake and I see the streets are ice cream

B                                       E                           B
Its just you and me and oh dear, our life has just begun

CHORUS (Its good to use full basic Chords here to give a more full sound. the timing can be a bit tricky, but playing along makes it easy.):

B       E                       B
        Everything is beautiful here

B       E                              B
        Its spinning circles 'round my ear

B       E                              B      
        I'm finally breaking free from fear

(Strike E once, then mute and strum a few times. Listen to the song to get the timing)

          E
And its fading

Bridge:
   B                E
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 2:

B                    E
Oh beautiful smiles, won't you stay a while?

B                                    E
We could close the door and sleep all day

B                                E
It's a September smile, with pretty pictures in my mind

B                       E
That's lost its feeling and its so afraid

CHORUS VERSE (Same lyrics and everything. The "Oh ah woah" part follows the B, E pattern) CHORUS, then fade out... This song rocks, Neutral Milk Hotel is awesome, I love this band to death and all that jazz. Hope this is helpful. My timing is off in places, but hey, its not too difficult to figure out. Happy jamming!
