As you see you play the Barre? chords with open BE- strings. I don?t know if the chords have other name.
It?s a little bit difficult to play the E and ESUS4 chords like Shawn do. Listen to the song and you
it out.
This way to play the song is close to the original.
INTRO:
Play /
/
on a mantle made of oakwood
/
there s a photograph from my childhood
it was taken in the desert early light
/
i look a lot like a leprechaun
/
with a mexican vest and a red hippie hat on
maracas in my left hand, stick in my right
/
there are canyons there are caverns
there are boarder roadside taverns
/
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
/
she naps with the tv on
/
i smell the june cut grass from my pappy s lawn
/
i play alone in the little room upstairs
/
there are lincoln logs and cookie tins
/
colored blocks and wars to win
/
i draw and i dream and beat my drums up there
/
there are circus lights and maple leaves
there are daffodils and dogwood trees
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
Between here play the following chords (fingerplay):
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
4xx400 5xx400 7xx800 2X and play at last
/
now the coffee s strong
/
and the fruit s all wrong
/
and my wakeup call s for somebody else
/
and the tv s hoax and neurosis jokes
always keep my laughing at myself
and i laugh a lot that s what i do
and i learn the things i never knew
/
and i see canyons i see caverns
i see border roadside taverns
and i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
i am held captive only by the big blue sky
and fade out
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
