These are the tabs to the album "On Avery Island" by Neutral Milk Hotel. I figured most of it out myself with help where noted. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song Against s** Bb And the first one tore a picture Of a dead and hanging man Who was kissing foreign fishes That flew right out from his hands F And when I put my arms around him Felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks Bb And an eerieness surrounded When his tongue began to speak F And he said, "Oh, boy, you are so pretty, Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string" Bb And when I finally kissed him The whole world began to ring F Lost like a bell that's tipping over With two cracks along both sides Bb And I knew the world was over So I took a look outside F And watched the fires that were reaching Up to the weather vanes and the tops of trees Bb And the waiting scene and the Sunday dream - F Bb They're all waiting here for me Bb Deli markets with their flower stands Their pretty girls and their burning men F Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays And I took out my tongue, twice removed from my face Bb Across a bridge and across the mountains Threw a nickel in the fountain F To save my soul from all these troubled times And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take to soothe my mind Bb So I'm always sober Always aching Always heading towards Mass suicide, occult figurines F And wasted gas-station attendants Attending to their jobs Bb And a nice drive in the country Finds a nice cliff to drop off F Oh, when this life just gets so grating All the grittiness of life Bb But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you F Bb F Bb You're too wonderful to die Bb And the last one tore a picture From the p***ographic page And all the pleasure points attacking All the looks of love were staged F And it's a lie that you've been given That just hurts you every day Bb So why should I lie here naked When it's just too far away F From anything we could call loving - Any love worth living for? Bb So I'll sleep out in the gutter You can sleep here on the floor F And when I wake up in the morning I won't forget to lock the door Bb 'Cause with a match that's mean and some gasoline F Bb You won't see me anymore ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've Passed (thanks to Liam Fletcher) Use a capo on the 1st fret to make this easier Intro C5 C5 e------------------------------------| B------------------------------------| G---5------------------5-------------| D---5------------------5-------------| X2 A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3------3-3-3-3-1-----| E-1------------------1-----------5-5-| F e----------1--| B----------1--| G----------2--| D----------3--| A-1---1-3--3--| E---5------1--| F The lady is dying F She bends back like a wave F As her spirit is climbing <spa
