Foals – Birch Tree

***************************************************************************************
IMPORTANT: This is how i play the whole song in a acoustic guitar (whit chords)(standard tuning)
So here's a little explanation.. of why i use just two chords for the entire(?) song

  F# minorF#m                    B minorBm
e|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
BB|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
G+G|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---7---7---7---6----6---4---4---4---6---6-|---7---7---7h9p7---6----4---4---4---0---0-|
A augmentedA|-9---9---9---7---7----5---5---5---7---7---|-9---9---9-------7----5---5---5---2---2---|
E MajorE|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
 (I know, this got other variants. But those two chord just repeat during the whole song, trust me)

[Intro]

F# minorF#m B minorBm x4

F# minorF#m       B minorBm
 The city I was born in
        F# minorF#m    B minorBm
 I left a long time ago
F# minorF#m    B minorBm
 We lost touch
    F# minorF#m       B minorBm
 Grew apart my friend
F# minorF#m           B minorBm
 My heart's an old pole dancer
     F# minorF#m        B minorBm
 Troubled romancer, you know
F# minorF#m      B minorBm
 It's a subway chancer
         F# minorF#m    B minorBm
 A augmentedA question with no answer

  F# minorF#m B minorBm x2


    F# minorF#m          B minorBm
     Come meet me by the river
         F# minorF#m      B minorBm
     See how time it flows
    F# minorF#m          B minorBm
     I'll meet you by the river
         F# minorF#m      B minorBm
     See how time it flows

F# minorF#m     B minorBm
 And when we age
      F# minorF#m     B minorBm
 Shed our skin and grow
F# minorF#m     B minorBm
 We shed our layers
      F# minorF#m     B minorBm
 Spread our wings and go
F# minorF#m           B minorBm
 My heart's an old black panther
      F# minorF#m         B minorBm
 Corrupted financer, you know
F# minorF#m        B minorBm
 It's a troubled romancer
         D MajorD    E MajorE  F#m~  ??Just strum the
 A augmentedA question with no answer       chord one time

    F# minorF#m          B minorBm
     Come meet me by the river
         F# minorF#m      B minorBm
     See how time it flows
    F# minorF#m          B minorBm
     I'll meet you by the river
         F# minorF#m      B minorBm
     See how time it flows

  F# minorF#m          B minorBm
  (Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it)

  (Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it)
  F# minorF#m          B minorBm

  F# minorF#m          B minorBm
  (Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it)
