Eugene Tabulatur von Sufjan Stevens (für Baryton)

[C] Light [D] struck from the [G] lemon tree [D]
[F] What if [Em] I'd never [D] seen hysterical [C] light from Eu-[G]gene? [Am]  [G]
[C] Lemon [G] yoghurt, [D] remember I [Em] pulled at your shirt
[D] I dropped the ashtray on the [C] floor
I just wanted to [G] be near [Am] you  [G]
[C] Emerald [D] Park, wonders [G] never cease [D]
[F] The man who [Em] taught me to [D] swim, he couldn't quite [C] say my first [G] name [Am] [G]
[C] Like a [G] Father he [D] led community [Em] water on my [D] head
And he called me [C] "Subaru"
And now I want to [G] be near [Am] you  [G]
[G] Since [F#m] I was [Em] old e-[D]nough to [C] speak I've [Bm6] said it with a-[D]larm
[G] Some [F#m] part of [Em] me was [D] lost in your [C] sleeve
Where you [Bm6] hid your ciga-[D]rettes
No I’ll never for-[C]get
I just want to be [G] near you [Am] [G]
[C] Still I [D] pray to what I [G] cannot see [D]
[F] In the [Em] sprinkler I [D] mark the evidence [C] known from the [G] start [Am] [G]
[C] From the [G] bed near your [D] death, and all the ma-[Em]chines that made a [Dm] mess
Far away the falcon [C] flew
Now I want to be [G] near you [Am] [G]
[C] What’s [D] left is only [G] bittersweet [D]
[F] For the [Em] rest of my [D] life, admitting the [C] best is be-[G]hind me [Am] [G]
[C] Now I’m [G] drunk and a-[D]fraid, wishing the [Em] world would go a-[D]way
What’s the point of singing [C] songs
If they’ll never even [G] hear you? [Am] [G]
