Artist: Sufjan Stevens
Album: All Delighted People EP
Song: Heirloom
Tabbed by: b561248
Standard Tuning
There are at least two guitars going in the song, I'm just giving the important one. I
have the chord shapes and some fingerpicking patterns at the bottom, listen to the
song to get the fingerpicking right; you can mess with it a fair amount (it'll have a
richer sound if you throw in more notes) as long as you keep the main parts (i.e. the
parts I'm writing). Enjoy.
D/A G/B
when your heirloom's wilted brown
D/A G/B
when the devils pushing down
D/A G/B
when your morning has a sound
D/A G/B
and you hesitate to laugh
D/A Em7
how quickly will your joy pass?
D/A Em7
how quickly will your joy pass?
Am7 Em
and when you walk inside i feel the door
Cmaj7 Bm7 Fill 1
i'll never let it push your arms no more
Am7 Em
and when your legs give out just lie right down
Cmaj7 Bm7 Fill 1
and i will kiss you till your breath is found
Am7 Em
and when you walk inside i feel the door
Cmaj7 Bm7 Fill 1
i'll never let it push your arms no more
so do you think i came to fight?
and do i always think i'm right?
oh no, i never meant to be, opposed to anyone this time!
oh no, i only meant to be, a friend to everyone this time!
and when you walk inside i feel the door
i'll never let it push your arms no more
and when your legs give out just lie right down
and i will kiss you till your breath is found
and when you walk inside i feel the door
i'll never let it push your arms no more
End on Bm7
