INTRO: D

Readying to bury your father and your mother

D D2

What did you think when you lost another

I used to wonder why did you bother

D D2

Distance from one, one to the other

D D2

(Rest of song continues the same way unless otherwise noted)

Listen here my sister and my brother

What would you care if you lost the other

I always wondered why did we bother

Distance from one, one to the other

Oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Bb C Bb C D D

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and wonder

I always knew this all together with thunder

It's lost to now or never lives

Oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and thunder

Yea, yea we were all together

Lost to now or never lives

Oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Oh, oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

REMs "sweetness follows"

Try playing this bit instead of the D D2 change:

E--I-5---5-5---5-5-5----2---2-2---2-2-2

B--I-3---3-3---5-5-5----2---2-2---2-2-2

G--I-2---3-3---5-5-5----0---0-0---0-0-0

D--I-0---0-0---0-0-0----0---0-0---0-0-0

A--I--------------------------------------------

E--I--------------------------------------------

readying....bury and your mother.....

This sounds better next to the vocals

than the version I've downloaded from nevada,

But I haven't played it against the CD.
