Should Have Known Better Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Sufjan Stevens
[Chorus]
Em                         A
I should have known better
                     G
To see what I could see
         C
My black shroud
                Bm
Holding down my feelings
                    Am
A pillar for my enemies


Em                            A
I should have wrote a letter
                                G
And grieve what I happen to grieve
         C
My black shroud
                 Bm
I never trust my feelings
                     Am
I waited for the remedy

(Am)


[Verse]
Am          C                D
When I was three three maybe four
D                 Em          Em D G
She left us at that video store
G   D           Am      Am D G
Be my rest be my fantasy
G   D           Am
Be my rest be my fantasy

(Am)


[Instrumental]


Em A G C Bm Am


[Chorus]
Em                     A
I'm light as a feather
                          G
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
         C
My black shroud
                  Bm
Frightened by my feelings
                   Am
I only wanna be a relief

Em                A
No I'm not a go-getter
                         G
The demon had a spell on me
          C
My black shroud
               Bm
Captain of my feeling
                          Am
The only thing I wanna believe


[Verse]
Am          C                 D
When I was three and free to explore
D                   Em               Em D G
I saw her face on the back of the door
G   D           Am     Am D G
Be my rest be my fantasy
G   D           Am
Be my rest be my fantasy

(Am)


[Instrumental]

G C D Em D C Am D Em D G


[Chorus]
G                     C
I should have known better
                D 
Nothing can be changed
                      Em
The past is still the past
    D               C
The bridge to nowhere
C                         Am
I should have wrote a letter
                  D                       Em D G
Explaining what I feel that empty feeling


[Bridge]

G            C                    D
Don't back down concentrate on seeing
D                 Em       D                  C
The breakers in the bar the neighbour's greeting
C                    Am
My brother had a daughter
                    D                   Em D G
The beauty that she brings illumination

G            C                      D
Don't back down there is nothing left
D                 Em      D             C
The breakers in the bar no reason to live
C                      Am
I'm a fool in the fetter
                D                            Em D G
Rose of Aaron's beard where you can reach me



[Outro]
G            C                    D
Don't back down nothing can be changed
D        Em          D             C
Cantilever bridge the drunken sailor
C                    Am
My brother had a daughter
                    D                   Em D
The beauty that she brings illumination
G
illumination.
