Andrew Bird - MX Missles
If you re a play along with the track kind of person, this will disappoint you.
It s a standalone version that s easy to play.
Seen Andrew play F#7 like this for MX Missles:
E--0--|
B--2--|
G--3--|
D--4--|
A-----|
E-----|
And plays most bar chords on those four high strings. The album version has the capo
way up but all live versions are without.
Intro:
those that will judge will say you re aloof
but you know the truth is a seed you know what you need
is a conflagration
cause when I see your blood and the bits of your broken tooth
it gives me the proof that I need it s the proof that you bleed
and it s a revelation / yeah it s a revelation / it s a revelation
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
propped up in the hardware store
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
of those legionnaires with two by fours
As they re marching off to wars
Yeah they re marching off to wars
I didn t know what you were made of
color of your blood what you re afraid of
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
cause if you re made of calcium I ll have to take a taste
Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
but it s one sure-fire way to know if you re mx-missile proof
oh no, or if you re just aloof
and you were in the ground in late November
though the leaves and earth were damp
did you think they would remember
how you almost made state champ
and when you re running for the game against Alfonsus
and you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth
listen, that might really have surprised us
to learn that maybe you weren t really mx-missiles proof
whoa, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
and you re propped up in the hardware store
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
of those legionnaires with two by fours
as they re marching off to wars
yeah they re marching off to wars
Ohh they re marchinnnnnggg
