Engine Neutral Milk Hotel
This is a favorite, I'm glad I can contribute it for the benefit of others because
it's been a simple but satisfying song to play. There are a couple recordings of this
song and Jeff Mangum sings different lyrics for some of the lines but the chords are
the same.
[G-A-C]
It's the same three chords repeated throughout, he holds the C chord in a couple places.
For [G]I am an e[A]ngine and [C]I'm rolling [G]on
the world is all [A]bending and [C]breaking from [G]me
(or:through endless revision to say what I mean)
for sweetness a[A]lone who flew [C]out through the [G]window
and [A]landed back [C]home in a garden of [G]green
[A] [C] [G]
you're riding a[A]lone in the [C]back of a [G]steamer
and steaming you[A]rself in the [C]warm shower [G]spray
and water rolls [A]on off the [C]round captains [G]belly
who's talking to [A]tigers from [C]his cafeteria [G]tray
[A] [C] [G]
and your sweet babies [A]cry for the [C]cool taste of [G]milking
that milky de[A]light that in[C]vited us [G]all
and if there's a [A]taste in this [C]life more in[G]viting
than wake up your [A]windows and [C]watch as those sweet babies [G]crawl
[A] a[C]waaa[G]y yeah mmm mmm [A]mmm[C] dee dee dee dee dee dee dee[G] dee
[A] [C] [G]
[A] [C] [G]
