Young Pilgrams by The Shins
Chutes Too Narrow
Submitted by Bretto

This song is pretty easy to play, simple chords. They just don't
seem like they should go together, but they do. Anyway...

Intro- (On the each D MajorD chord, alternate bass notes between D MajorD and
A augmentedA strings)

        Heres the little thing over the D MajorD
D Bb majorBb G+G       E MajorE ------2---------------------
D MajorD Bb majorBb C majorC       BB --3-----3--------------------
D MajorD FF A(A7A7)     G+G ----2-----2------------------

Verse-

D MajorD      Bb majorBb   G+G
 A augmentedA cold and wet November dawn
D MajorD      Bb majorBb       C majorC
 where there are no barking sparrows
D MajorD   FF          A(A7A7)
 just emptiness to dwell apon

I fell into a winter slide
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down
chutes too narrow
just eking out my mealy pies

Chorus-

  G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
But i learned fast how to
    D MajorD
keep my head up cause i
G+G    D MajorD     Bb majorBb    A augmentedA
know ive got this side of me that
G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA       D MajorD
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G+G    D MajorD     FF    A augmentedA
fly the whole mess into the sea

Verse-
Another slow train to the coast
some brand new gory art from way on high
I sink and then I swim all night

I watch the ice melt on the glass
while the eloquent young pilgrams pass
and leave behind their trail
emploring us all not to fail

Chorus-
Off course i was raised to
gather courage from those
lofty tails so tried and true
if you're able then i'd suggest it cause
this modern thought can get the best of you

Bridge- (this is a bit tricky)

B minorBm       D MajorD
  This rather simple epitaph
  G+G     A augmentedA         G+G   C majorC
Can save your hide your failing mind
B minorBm       D MajorD
  Fate isn't what we're up agaisnt
    G+G   A augmentedA        G+G   C majorC
There's no design no flaws to find
   G+G   A augmentedA        G+G   C majorC
There's no design no flaws to find

Solo-

Same chords as verse

Chorus

End on D MajorD
