The Naming of Things Andrew Bird
I left out the fills that he uses in this song that sort of double the vocal melody at
points. listen to recording to figure them out. Enjoy
[D7]you remind me of you[Dm7]
the way you shot right through and how[C]
you broke my window glass,
[D7]fast it happened so fast[Dm7]
I have to confess[C] that I
that I was impre[G]ssed that I
that I was imp[D/F#]ressed that i
despite all the [F]mess and the broken g[G]lass
I was impress[C]ed
(Same Chords as above)
here's where I disappeared
where I fell off the pier and to..
and to be rescued I did wait
I watched waterbugs skate
as they draw figure eights as they draw
from the bottom of the lake as they draw
I watched waterbugs skate as they draw
From the bottom of the l[F]ake I watched the waterbugs skat[G]e[---G--G#]
[Am]memories like mohair sweaters
stretched and pilled faux distressed le[C]tters[C/b]
[Am]moose's horns and figure eights
white plastic bags in search of mates
what suffoc[C]ates the land
in the memor[G]y of garbage can
memory of garbag[D/F#]e can
Chorus
[F]you can't be found when the bell rings[C]
[F]you weren't there that day for the naming of things[C]
the naming of t[G]hings
The naming of things[D/F#]
where the homeroom bell r[F]ings[G]
the homeroom bell ring[E]s
Solo- F Dm7 C x4 1234
[D7]hey, just look at the mess you [Dm7]made today
didn't really think it would g[C]et this bad
[D7]hey, feel like you're living in a R[Dm7]ussian play
where it seems like you made ev[C]erybody mad
(Same Chords as Verse 1)
you remind me of you
when you shot through
and broke my window glass
it happened so fast
I have to confess
I was impressed, I was impressed
despite all the mess and the broken glass
I was impressed
Repeat chorus
Chorus
[F]you can't be found when the bell r[C]ings
you weren't t[F]here that day for the naming of thi[C]ngs
the naming of t[G]hings
The naming of th[D/F#]ings
where the homeroom bell r[F]ings[G]
the homeroom bell ring[C]s
Its the naming of t[F]hings[G]
the naming of-[E]-
Fade out on E
