Guitar tab: The Eels - I Like Birds
music/text by Mark Everett
Right, so i found out That there are few tabs around by the eels at all,
and i perticularly like this song, its just so weirdly small and uplifting
in all its simplicity, and real *** easy to play :)
I actually found a tab to this, but it was'nt even correct, so i put on myself
to make this tiny little tab myself (which is my first tab ever, by the way)
Hope somebody reads this.... have fun now!
There are only 3 chords, all easy to play and change to/from.
E (022300) D (000232) Asus2 (000220)
(intro) E, D, Asus2 x2
[E]I can't look at [D]the rocket launch[Asus2]
[E]The trophy wives[D] of the astronauts[Asus2]
[E]And i wont liste[D]n to their words[Asus2]
[E]Cause i like[D]
(knock your palm on the guitar twice to make that sound)
Birds
Thats the way the song goes, and the adding instruments can all just be
whatever you want to, as long as everything goes E, D Asus2 :)
There are some ways to very it however, so feel free to experiment
Full Lyrics:
I can't look at the rocket launch
the trophy wives of the astronauts
And i wont listen to their words
Cause i like
(knock knock)
Birds
I don't care for walking downtown
Crazy autocar gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, i like
(whistle)
Birds
(NOTE: this part still goes in E,D,Asus2)
If youre small and on a search, ive got feeder for you to perch on
I Can't stand a line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But its all right if you act like a turd
cause i like
(this flanged sound thingy. choose whatever sound you like to make :)
Birds
If youre small and on a search, ive got feeder for you to perch on
(whistling joins in)
If youre small and on a search, ive got feeder for you to perch on
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
If youre small and on a search, ive got feeder for you to perch on
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
(Fade out)
Thanks, kids!
