Casimir Pulaski Day

Biography:

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

I cannot take full credit for this. I did not find these chords on my own. This tab was
on guitaretab.com. However, I did go over it and fix some issues regarding the chord
changes alongside the lyrics. So consider this an edited version.

You can pick if you want to, but it sounds fine if you just strum it to the rhythm.

Capo on the 1ST FRET

Intro: D C ( Em ) Am G
D C ( Em ) Am G

D C
Goldenrod and the 4H stone

Am
The things I brought you

G D C Am G
When I found out you had cancer of the bone.

D C
Your father cried on the telephone

Am G
And he drove his car into the Navy yard

D C Am G
Just to prove that he was sorry

D C
In the morning, through the window shade

Am G
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade

D C Am G
I could see what you were reading

D C
All the glory that the Lord has made

Am G
And the complications you could do without

D C Am G
When I kissed you on the mouth

D C
Tuesday night at the Bible study

Am G
We lift our hands and pray over your body

D C Am G
But nothing ever happens

D C
I remember at Michael's house

Am G
In the living room when you kissed my neck

D C Am G
And I almost touched your blouse

D C
In the morning, at the top of the stairs

Am G
When your father found out what we did that night

D C Am G
And you told me you were scared

D C
All the glory when you ran outside

Am G
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied

D C Am G
And you told me not to follow you

D C
Sunday night when I cleaned the house

Am G
I found the card where you wrote it out

D C Am G
With the pictures of your mother

D C
On the floor at the great divide

Am G
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

D C Am G
I am crying in the bathroom

D c
In the morning when you finally go

Am G
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low

D C Am G
And the cardinal hits the window

D C
In the morning in the winter shade

Am G
On the first of March, on the holiday

D C Am G
I thought I saw you breathing

D C
All the glory that the Lord has made

Am G
And the complications when I see his face

D C Am G
In the morning in the window

D C
All the glory when he took our place

Am G
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face

D C Am G(pause)
And he takes and he takes and he takes

Outro: D C Am G (repeat till end)
