¡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!
Chords without capo are
Verse: F# - C#/F#
Chorus: B/F# - C#/F# - F#
- they will be shown below in respect to the capo.
Certainly look up the song for a feel for the rhythm and flow of the chords, but see below for some shapes
which may help make those transitions more seamless. Generally use a traditional picking pattern,
especially in the Chorus where your thumb alternates between the two lowest notes.
Lastly - and please comment if you have another opinion, but I believe the song is in 12/8 time signature,
with the emphasis on the 1, 4, 7, and 10 so that each bar often feels more like a 4/4. Listen for
Glen Kotche's taps on the high-hat as the song begins for a basis.
Enjoy this gem!

"Every Songbird Says" from their album Love Letter for Fire (2016)
(performed by Sam Beam [of Iron & Wine] & Jesca Hoop)
[E - B/E] x3
E B/E E B/E
I'm a tiny heart that's falling fast
E B/E E B/E
Like a humming bird, like an hourglass
E B/E E B/E
I'm a hollow bone, a determined wing
E B/E E B/E
For the distant hope, of a promise ring
E B/E E B/E
This bed is old, but the dream is new
E B/E E B/E
You can borrow mine, if you break a few
E B/E E B/E
I'm a mountain side, I can wash away
E B/E E B/E
I'm a pool of tears, on a wedding day
[Chorus]
A/E B/F# E A/E
Oooh we're both baby bottles full of love
B/F# E A/E
Oooh empty fingers of a glove
B/F# E A/E
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough,
B/F# E B/E
Oooh it's enough, oooh to be walking with youuuuuuuuu
[E - B/E] x3
E B/E x2
I get loooooooost,
E B/E E B/E
I get lost a lot and you meet me there
E B/E E B/E
I can close my eyes and find you anywhere
E B/E E B/E
I can hold you close while you wander free
E B/E E B/E
But the long walk home says you're good for me
A/E B/F#
You're good for me
[E - B/E] x2
E B/E
(And get loooooost)
E B/E E B/E
I can take a lot, I'll give you more
E B/E E B/E
We're a tiny heart, but the blood is warm
E B/E E B/E
I'm a thunder cloud, I'm cutting through
E B/E E B/E
Every songbird says I'm in love with you
A/E B/F# E B/E
I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you,
E B/E
I'm in love with you
[Chorus]
A/E B/F# E A/E
Oooh we're both deaf and banging on a drum
B/F# E A/E
Snow angels sleeping in the sun.
B/F# E A/E
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough,
A/E B/F# E A/E
Oooh sun sinking down and its work is never done
B/F# E A/E
Oooh your heart is never won
B/F# E A/E
Oooh we know when it's enough
Oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough, oooh enough,
B/F# E [repeat E - B/E] x4
Oooh it's enough, Oooh to be walking with youuuuuuuuuuuu
E B/F# x14
And get lost
[End final bar with a single strum of E for 12 taps]
Chords - relative to [Capo 2]:
E B/E* A/E B/F#
e|--0----x-----0----x---|
B|--0----x-----2----4---|
G|--1----4-----2----4---|
D|--2----4-----2----4---|
A|--2----2-----0----2---|
E|--0----0-----0----2---|
*Play by keeping fingers held in E-shape, then use pinky to bar the 4th fret while you continue strumming.
Also: As for the B/E chord above, I've found it also works well to simply hold the E chord shape and slide up
to grab the B chord on the 8th fret, leaving the root note on the 7th fret open for the E.
