Biography:
The Microphones is the name of a project that Anacortes, WA's Phil Elverum has headed since the late 90s. Its sound is best described as lo-fi "fuzz folk," ranging from drum-crashing, bass-thrashing sonic freakouts, strummy classical guitar love songs, angelic vocal choirs, and almost-whispered vocals over harmoniums and bell kits.

There were no chords up for this song, so I had to go on youtube and check out a ukelele
version of this song and copy the chords they had listed there to guitar. It came out
really well though. I play this song with a Capo on 5, you can adjust the capo to fit
your vocal range, or transpose it accordingly.
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
F [XX3211] (I prefer the small F for this song, full/big F sounds fine too)
Am [X02210]
Dm [XX0231]
G [320003]
C [X32010]
The Microphones
I Felt Your Shape (Capo on 5)
F Am
I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong
Dm G
Really all I felt was falsely strong
F Am
I held on tight and closed my eyes
Dm G
It was dumb I had no sense of your size
Am G
It was dumb to hold so tight
F C
La da da But last night
F Am
On your birthday in the kitchen
Dm G
My grip was loose my eyes were open
Am F
I felt your shape and heard you breathing
Dm G
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
Am G
I felt your fall, your winter snows
F C
Your gusty blows, your lava flows
Am G
I felt it all, your starry night
F C
Your lack of light, with limp arms
Am
I could feel most of you
Am G
I hung around your neck independently
F Am
And my loss was overwhelmed
Dm G
By this new depth I don't think I've ever felt
Am F
But I don't know, my nights are cold
Am G
I remember warmth, I would have sworn
F (optional ending ... Am - Dm - G -
C )
I wasn't alone
