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 chord, alternate bass notes between D and
A strings)
Heres the little thing over the D
D Bb G E ------2---------------------
D Bb C B --3-----3--------------------
D F A(A7) G ----2-----2------------------
Verse-
D Bb G
A cold and wet November dawn
D Bb C
where there are no barking sparrows
D F A(A7)
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 D A
But i learned fast how to
D
keep my head up cause i
G D Bb A
know ive got this side of me that
G D A D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A
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)
Bm D
This rather simple epitaph
G A G C
Can save your hide your failing mind
Bm D
Fate isn't what we're up agaisnt
G A G C
There's no design no flaws to find
G A G C
There's no design no flaws to find
Solo-
Same chords as verse
Chorus
