Hey guys, this is a great Guster song off of the album "Ganging Up on the Sun." I think
another version, but it wasn't all that great, so here's the complete song. It's really
piano song with backing guitar, so bare with me.
I use the barred chords for this as opposed to the open ones. It sounds more like the
and you can add the slides and things in between them easier (as I'm too lazy to actually
all the bells and whistles.)
Without further ado: "Manifest Destiny" by Guster
[Verse 1:]
[C]Bones are [Dm]broken and the will is [G]su[/]nk[A].
[C]How did ev[Dm]erything get so [G]fucked up?
([G]Do[/] y[A]ou) [C]want to [Dm]change your [G]mind?
([G]Yo[/]u [A]can)[C] always [Dm]change your [G]mind.
[Chorus:]
You and [F]I can quit this [Am]scene
Build a [G]town and then se[D]cede
Like an [F]Adam [Am]and an E[G]ve
To the d[F]reamers go the d[Am]reams
But beli[G]evers have the l[D]ead
It's a f[F]rightening, [Am]frightening [G]thing
[Verse 2:]
[C]Born to the [Dm]land of opportu[G]ni[/]ty[A]
[C]of Manif[Dm]est desti[G]ny
([G]Do[/] y[A]ou) [C]want to [Dm]change your[G] mind?
(You can) always change your mind
[Chorus:]
You and I can quit this scene
Build a town and then secede
Like an Adam and an Eve
To the dreamers go the dreams
But leaders have the lead
It's a frightening, frightening thing
[Bridge: Hit the chords just one time for each and hold it.]
[C]The moon and [Dm]stars are ganging up on the [G]sun
N.C. [Scream!]
rebellion
[Outro: Falsetto, people.]
[F]Every[Am]body, the [G]sky is falling [D]down
[F]Friends and [Am]lovers, the [G]world is coming [D]down
[F]Down,[Am] [G]down...[D]
[F]Down,[Am] [G]down...[D]
That's it!
So, umm... Enjoy.
