Capo on 1st fret
Here's a little Feist cover done by a band called Bright Eyes. If you didn't read that
marked note directly above this paragraph, this song IS in fact done with a capo on the
fret. As usual, the chord names are relative to the capo, blah, blah... If you think
fancy and want to use all barre chords and not use the capo, then fine. It's not
though, as I have mentioned the useful using of a capo quite clearly. Stop reading this.
the song now.
Intro
G A (barre chords work best here but open chords are fine also)
[D]Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born [G] (ohh oh [D]ooo-oo)
[D]Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups [G] (ohh oh [D]ooo-oo)
Em (hold chord)
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard[D]
It [Em]may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay[D]
[Em]Ooo-[F#m]ooo-[Bm]oold dirt road
[Em]Hi-[F#m]igh [Bm]Knee deep snow
[Em]Watching the [F#m]fire [Bm]as we grow old
[Em]Ohh-[F#m]ohhh-[G]ooo-[A]ooo
[D] [G] [D]

[D]I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house [G] (ohh oh [D]ooo-oo)
[D]And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done [G] (ohh oh [D]ooo-oo)
Em (hold chord)
How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight[D]
I [Em]Wave to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map[D]
Strum the D 4 hard, short times now
[Em]Ooo-[F#m]ooo-[Bm]oold dirt road
[Em]Hi-[F#m]igh [Bm]Knee deep snow
[Em]Watching the [F#m]fire [Bm]as we grow old
[Em]Ahh-[F#m]ahh-[Bm]ooo-oww
[Em]Ooo-[F#m]ooo-[G]ool[A]d
