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!
This is the correct version of Beginner’s Mind that Conor uses live.
Track 8 of The People's Key, Bright Eyes' final album.
Capo 4
D F#
Hold on tight beginners mind,
Bm A
The wheel is spinning too
Em A
Fast to make your move
F# Bm
The worst must be assumed
D F#
Oh how they'll try to pull and pry
Bm A
Away what you know now
Em A
Beat and beat it out
F# Bm
Leave a drum that makes no sound
G F# Em A
A snuff film on a Jumbo-tron for all the world to see
Em A
A cocktail napkin epitaph
D Bm
Some psychobabble telegram
Em A
Message written in the sand
D Bm
The tide rolls in
Em A
Swear you'll do the opposite
D Bm
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Em A D
Who say that the experiment has failed
Bm
Don't go there
G
You're getting nowhere
A
You're getting nowhere
D F#
Stay a while my inner child
Bm A
I'd like to learn your trick
Em A
Know what makes you tick
F# Bm
Nurse you when you're sick
D F#
Oh how you've grown so cynical
Bm A
Hard lines carved in your face
Em A
The sunshine so cliché
F# Bm
Just like love and pain
G F# Em A
You tried your best on the Rorschach test but there's just nothing to see
Em A
Heard terabytes of perfect pitch
D Bm
Some universal elegance
Em A
Stack the seventh and the fifth
D Bm
Along the grid
Em A
Swear you’ll be the opposite
D Bm
Of all the stilted hypocrites
Em A D Bm
You know what made you infamous to them, don't you?
G
You keep starting over
A
You keep starting over
F#
You keep starting over
Bm
You keep starting over
G
Keep starting over
A
Keep starting over
D F#
Hold on tight beginners mind
Bm A
The currents far too strong
Em A
It will carry you along
F# Bm
Till you're just like everyone
D F#
Stay a while my inner child
Bm A
I'd like to learn your trick
Em A
Know what makes you tick
F# Bm
Nurse you when you're sick
G F# Em A
The other Capo 1 version of this song has the right tonality, but in the wrong
Capo position. I use Barre chords on the F#, Bm, G and the A chord for the
“getting nowhere” and “starting over” lines to give it a fuller sound.
