Dos álbumes, un EP y un single es el escaso legado artístico que nos ha dejado Jeff Mangum y sus Neutral Milk Hotel antes de desvanecerse. Su leyenda se hace mayor cada año que pasa, siendo reivindicado por artistas de toda clase (desde Arcade Fire hasta Animal Collective pasando por Devendra Banhart o Franz Ferdinand) y con una masa de fans cada vez más grande. Quizás sea esa leyenda la que provoca que Jeff Mangum rechace la opción de volver a los escenarios junto a sus compañeros en la banda: Jeremy Barnes
¡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!
This may not be the most accurate version of the song ever but it is much easier to play than some of the other versions that I've seen Enjoy

Verse 1

CGF And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
GFCFCGF In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
Verse 2 (follows exact same pattern)
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
Verse 3 (follows exact same pattern)
And this is the room One afternoon I knew I could love you And from above you how I sank into your soul Into that secret place where no one dares to go
Verse 4 (follows exact same pattern)
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking And dad would dream of all the different ways to die Each one a little more than he could dare to try
