Even Here We Are
Words & Music:
Paul Westerberg
A6 G6 Bm
Beautiful flowers in your garden,
Em F#m Bm
But the most beautiful, by far,
A6 G6 Bm
The one growing wild in the garbage dump,
G Dadd2
Even here, even here we are. [2x]
Song of the bird way up in the sky,
But the most beautiful by far,
The scream of the man who never learned to fly,
Even here, even here we are. [2x]
INSTRUMENTAL OVER
G Dadd2 [2x or as much as
youÕd like]
Sun shines bright, it's a beautiful sight,
But the most beautiful by far,
Is the blind girl, alone, the angel of the night.
Even here, even here we are. [2x]
Transcribed by Pace
– his transcription notes:
The fingerpicking is a bit
tricky in the 1st two chord sequences (A6-G6) because he double picks the
"6th" notes a lot... these two chords are barred, but mute, or don't
fingerpick the 7th of the barre chord:
A6 = 5 7 x 6 7 5 [can also
sub x 0 2 2 2 2]
G6 = 3 5 x 4 5 3 [can also
sub 3 2 0 0 0 0]
In the Bm barre chord, you
can alternate between the regular Bm barre chord on the 2nd fret with a BmSus4
chord. Add the sus4 note while
picking by lifting up your barring 1st finger from the high E string (adding the
E note):
Bm = x 2 4 4 3 0
The G chord in the chorus
line at the end of each verse alternates an open G, with an open Gadd6, which
blends with the Dadd2:
Gadd6 = 3 2 0 0 0 0
Dadd2 = x x 0 2 3 0
