Song: Me and You
Album: I Eat Kids (& Other Songs for Rebellious Children)
[Also heard on Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs]
This quickly became one of my favorite songs. I couldn t find the chords for it,
so I figured them out.
-Standard Tuning
-Capo on 1st fret
Basic strumming pattern:
e------3-----3-------------3------3-----3------3-----3---||
B------3-----3------1------3------3-----3------2-----3---||
G------0-----0------0------0------0-----0------3-----0---||
D------0-----0------2------0------0-----0---0--------0---||
A------2-----2---3--3------2------2-----2------------2---||
E---3--3--3--3----------3--3---3--3--3--3---------3--3---||
* * * * * * * *
The * s represent thumb strokes, making up the bass line for the song.
The song keeps this pattern throughout.
INTRO:
G, C, G,
G, D, G,
G, G, G,
Me and you just singing on the train,
me and you listening to the rain,
me and you we are the same,
me and you have all the fame
we need. Indeed,
you and me are we...
Me and you singing in the park,
me and you here waiting for the dark,
me and you we are the spark,
me and you lightin candles in the dark
to say, someday
there will be, a new way...
Me and you singing to the birds,
me and you not sayin a word,
me and you wouldn t call it absurd,
that s because me and you have heard,
you can fly, as high
as the sky if you try...
Me and you just singing on the train,
me and you listening to the rain,
me and you we are the same,
me and you have all the fame
we need. Indeed,
me and you are we...
Me and you here waiting for the dawn,
me and you and all the places we have gone,
me and you, sittin on the lawn,
me and you just singing our song.
Just to rhyme, to shine,
and to pass the time.
Me and you singing to all,
me and you just having a ball,
me and you drawing on the wall,
me and you following our call
to be like the trees,
just as free and easy.
Me and you just singing on the train,
me and you listening to the rain,
me and you we are the same,
me and you have all the fame
we need. Indeed,
me and you are we...
ENDING:
G, C, D, G,
G, C, D, G(ring)
--enjoy!--
