Chords

Hey Everyone this is my first chords tabs.. Hope it works out.. =L ..This is for those of you who can't be bothered removing all the sharps yourselves: CAPO FIRST FRET (because everyone loves capos! =D) I think the intro/outro is C G Am F, not too sure. Could never figure it out, =L There is also fingerpicking: I'm not that pro =D Also: The chords are based on the progression heard by the main guitar throughout the choruses (if you listen closely, the bass also plays this progression in the verses). Any questions feel free to email me at [email protected] =) - James. =L ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ C G Am F (4x) VERSE 1

            C       G
We wrote a prelude

       Am             F
To our own fairy tale

             C         G
And bought a parachute

     Am             F
At a church rummage sale

           C           G
And with a mean sewing machine

    Am        F
And miles of thread

             C           G
We sewed the day above L.A.

    Am       F
In navy and red

VERSE 2

           C           G
We wound a race track

             Am             F
Through your mom's kitchen chairs

               C            G
And fought the shadows back

           Am            F
Down your dark basement stairs

        C                   G
I lit a match, then let it catch

   Am           F
To light up the room

             C               G
And then you yelled as we beheld

   Am         F
An old maroon hot air balloon

CHORUS

C                  G
I'll be out of my mind

    Am                F
And you'll be out of ideas

        C
Pretty soon

          G
So let's spend

    Am              F
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon

C                    G
Leave your jacket behind

     Am                 F            C
Lean out and touch the treetops over town

        G
I can't wait

   Am
To kiss the ground

     F                C
Wherever we touch back down

C G Am F (4x) VERSE 2 (same as 1st verse) We drank the Great Lakes Like cold lemonade And both got stomach aches Sprawled out in the shade So bored to death you held your breath And I tried not to yawn You made my frown turn upside down And now my worries are gone CHORUS (same as original chorus) I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down No Chord (2x) C G Am F (2x) I'll be out of my mind And you'll be out of ideas Pretty soon So let's spend The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon Leave your jacket behind Lean out and touch the treetops over town I can't wait To kiss the ground Wherever we touch back down C G Am F (to fade)
