¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Please note that all of the songs I'm submitting I'm working out on ukulele. It should sound the same as guitar, but I didn't bring a guitar with me to college. If there are any big issues, feel free to email me at [email protected]
The chord placements are a little off cuz they don't happen right on the words, so really just listen along to get more exact placements.
[Intro] CmAbCmAbCmAbBbB (x2)
[Verse] CmAbCm So, while you’re fixing up your bed AbCm And while you’re organizing drawers, AbBbBCm Could you just listen to the problems had with problems of yours. AbCm And what’s that note you’re writing there? AbCm Why are you giving me this back? AbBbB This was a gift from when we met back when you weren’t so upset
[Chorus] EbEb/DAb I called in sick from your funeral. EbEb/DAb The sight of your body made me feel uncomfortable. EbEb/DBbB I couldn’t recognize your shell.
[Verse] CmAbCm Your branching off had met an end AbCm From all the weight that made you bend. AbBbBCm And when you tried to shed your leaves you pined for warmth as they said AbCm Your lack of love for your dear self AbCm is sapping all of us here out. AbBbB Trace your roots back to the ground work out the knotholes for yourself
[Chorus] EbEb/DAb I called in sick from your funeral. EbEb/DAb The sight of your family made me feel responsible. EbEb/D and I found the notes you left behind; Ab little hints and helpless cries, EbEb/DAb desperate wi-shing to be over.
(Instrumental - hit the Eb once and then several hits of each following note):
Eb
CmAb (x4)
[Verse] AbCmBb You said you’re trapped in your body Ab and getting deeper every day. CmBb They diagnosed you born that way. Ab They say in runs in your family. Cm A conscious erasure of working class background Bb where despair trickles down Ab imbalanced chemical crutch. Open up. Swallow down. CmBbAb You said “remember me for me. I need to set my spirit free.”
[Chorus] EbEb/DAb I called in sick from your funeral. (I called in sick! I called in sick!) EbEb/DAb Tradition of closure nearly felt impossible. Eb I should have never gave my word to you; Bb not a cry not a sound. Ab Might have learned how to swim, never taught how to drown, EbBb you said “remember me for me”. Ab (hold) I watched you set your spirit free
