shins - young pilgrims
Artist: The Shins
Album: Chutes Too Narrow
Song: Young Pilgrims
Intro:
D Bb G
D Bb C
D F A7
verse:
D Bb G
A cold and wet November dawn
D Bb C
And there are no barking sparrows
D F A
Just emptiness to dwell upon.
verse:
D Bb G
I fell into a winter slide
D Bb C D
And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
F A
Just eeking out my measley pies.
chorus:
G D A D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G D F A
Know there is this side of me that
G D A D
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A7
Fly the whole mess into the sea.
verse:
Another slow train to the coast
Some brand new gory art from way on high
I sink and then I swim all night.
verse:
D Bb G
I watch the ice melt on the glass
D Bb C
While the eloquent young pilgrims pass
D F
And leave behind their trail
C A
Imploring us all not to fail.
chorus:
Of course I raised to gather courage from those
Lofty tales so tried and true but
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
Modern thought can get the best of you.
middle:
Bm D G A G A Asus4 ///
This rather simple epitaph can save your hide your falling mind
Bm D G A G A Asus4 ///
Fate isn't what we're up against there's no design no flaws to find
G A G A Asus4 ///
There's no design no flaws to find.
(verse chords over solo)
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know I got this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea.
