Chords with lyrics
Two-Headed Boy pt. 2
by Neutral Milk Hotel
there are two ways to play this: tune down a half-step (to Eb-Ab-Db etc.) and play all open
chords, or stay in regular tuning and use barre chords. personally, I think using barre
chords sounds better (or at least more like how it's played in the recording) so if that's
not your preference, tune down and take away the little 'b' where you see one and add a '#'
where you don't.
AbAb GbGb F minorFm
Daddy please hear this song that I sing
AbAb GbGb F minorFm
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
DbDb AbAb Eb MajorEb DbDb
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
AbAb Eb MajorEb DbDb
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
B minorBm Eb MajorEb
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet
and the same for the next verse. then this:
AbAb B minorBm Eb MajorEb DbDb
And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying
AbAb B minorBm Eb MajorEb DbDb
as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
AbAb B minorBm Eb MajorEb DbDb
rings of flowers round your eyes and I'll love you
AbAb B minorBm Eb MajorEb DbDb Eb MajorEb
for the rest of your life (when you're ready)
then the last verse, and then the big climax:
DbDb AbAb DbDb AbAb
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
DbDb AbAb Eb MajorEb DbDb
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
DbDb AbAb DbDb AbAb
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle
DbDb AbAb Eb MajorEb DbDb
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life
and the denouement:
AbAb C minorCm AbAb C minorCm
Two headed boy she is all you could need
AbAb C minorCm DbDb AbAb
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
DbDb Eb MajorEb
And retire to sheets safe and clean
DbDb AbAb
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave
