Biografia:
Sufjan Stevens (pronuncia-se “SOOF-yahn”) é um músico multi-instrumentista e compositor americano, nascido em Detroit, Michigan, em 1º de julho de 1975. Dono de grande lirismo e riqueza instrumental, suas músicas estão freqüentemente relacionadas à fé, e a família. Seus álbuns são mesclados com vários estilos, desde eletrônica, em “Enjoy Your Rabbit”; o lo-fi folk em “Seven Swans”; até o instrumentalismo sinfônico em “Illinois” e as músicas natalinas de “Songs For Christmas”.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
I suspect Sufjan plays this song on the ukulele, so another tuning might simplify this song. I only play
guitar, so I tabbed it out using a nylon string guitar. A lot of the inversions used are quite specific,
therefore I tabbed out the right grips to use for this song. In some parts of the song there are some subtle
patterns that can be learnt better if I tabbed them out too.

VERSE 1
E F# B/D# B/F#
Light struck from the lemon tree
A G#m F# E [ B E/B B ]
What if I’d never seen hysterical light from Eugene?
E/B B F#/A# [Badd9/D# B/D#] C#7sus4
Lemon yoghurt, remember I pulled at your shirt
E/G#
I dropped the ashtray on the floor
[B E/B B]
I just wanted to be near you
VERSE 2
E F# B/D# B/F#
Emerald Park, wonders never cease
A G#m F# E [B E/B B]
The man who taught me to swim, he couldn't quite say my first name
E/B B F#/A# [Badd9/D# B/D#] C#7sus4
Like a Father he led community water on my head
E/G#
And he called me “Subaru”
[B E/B B]
And now I want to be near you
BRIDGE
B F#/A# G#m F# E B/D# F#/C#
Since I was old enough to speak I've said it with alarm
B F#/A# G#m F# E
Some part of me was lost in your sleeve
B/D# F#/C#
Where you hid your cigarettes
E/G#
No I’ll never forget
[B E/B B]
I just want to be near you
VERSE 3
E F# B/D# B/F#
Still I pray to what I cannot see
A G#m F# E [ B E/B B ]
In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start
E/B B F#/A# [Badd9/D# B/D#] C#7sus4
From the bed near your death, and all the machines that made a mess
E/G#
Far away the falcon flew
[B E/B B]
Now I want to be near you
VERSE 4
E F# B/D# B/F#
What’s left is only bittersweet
A G#m F# E [B E/B B]
For the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me
E/B B F#/A# [Badd9/D# B/D#] C#7sus4
Now I’m drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away
E/G#
What’s the point of singing songs
B E/B B
If they’ll never even hear you?
Enjoy!
