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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
There are a lot of versions up on the site, but, sadly, most are incorrect. Here
are the real chords (of course, Sufjan changes it up with interesting pull-offs
and hammer-ons with his banjo, but just toy with it and you can get it)
Tuning - Standard
Capo - 8
Chords used - Em C G D
Verse 1:
Em C G D Em C
I have called you children, I have called you son. What is there to answer if
G D Em C G D Em
I'm the only one? Morning comes in paradise - morning comes in light. Still I
C G D
must obey, still I must invite.
Em C G D Em
If there's anything to say, if there's anything to do. If there's any other
C G D
way, I'd do anything for you.
And that's it. It's 100% accurate - or, at least, as accurate as can be expected
when transcribing it from banjo to guitar. Have fun with the pull-offs and hammer-
ons. If you've listened to any of Sufjan's other stuff, you'll know what to do. Enjoy.
