Barney and Miriam – Craig Cardiff
This is the version from the album Floods and Fires. I have no idea what he’s saying a lot of the
time so I just make up lyrics. Sorry.
Capo 1
Intro: C G Am F
Verse 1:
C G
Cry little deaths and sweet agonies
Am F
Rising and falling of you and me
C G Am F
Oh lady darkness where all secrets were revealed
C G
Don’t worry, everyone’s a little crazy
Am F
Everyone pretends a bit
C G
And don’t worry when you need to leave
Am F
Cause my heart will be fine with it
Chorus X2:
F G Am F
You’ll be my Miriam
F G Am F (second time skip Am and F go right into interlude)
I’ll be your Barney
Interlude: C G Am F
Verse 2:
C G
If hearts could see it all and there’s a carnival there
Am F
Where the Barkers and Townies and Clowns
C G
Fell your monkeys paid to walk the parking lot

Make sure the cars and dogs and kids have the windows rolled down
C G
Ah little deaths, sweet agonies
Am F
And the rise and fall of you and me
C G Am F
Oh lady darkness where all secrets got revealed

You’ll be my Miriam
