Artist: Andrew Bird Song: Sweetbreads Original tab by: keith meicher (keith.meicher@gmail.com) "Well we've been doing this song all over the UK and we haven't brought it to the mainland yet. But it's very interesting. It deals with...It's called Sweetbreads...it deals with the issues, the numerous issues involved in consuming the vital organs of an animal. And everywhere we go, we find out that 'sweetbreads' means a different thing. I guess that's why they call it 'variety meats'... But, anyway... It's a really awful song. Here we go:"

^Gwhen i was a little boy i ^Emthrew away my action toys while ^Ci became obsessed with ope^D/F#ration

with he^Garts and minds and certain glands you ^Emlearn to keep a steady hand and ^Cthus began a morbid fas^D/F#cination

with

^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeetbre^Cads i could t^D/F#aste what you were think^Ging ^G7 ^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeeetbr^Ceads thats the^D/F# taste of neurons bli^Gnking

do you ^Gwonder where the self resides is it i^Emn your head or between your sides and w^Chos gonna decide its true lo^D/F#cation

cause its a q^Guestion for the centuries from co^Emmmunion to mad cow disease but is it w^Corthy of a song or lifes v^D/F#ocation

and the sw^Emeetest sweetbread of them all w^Emb6ithin in a kingdom of afar ca^Em6lled them thoughts and metaphor-inat^D/F#ions ^Adim7they called them

^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeetbre^Cads i could t^D/F#aste what you were think^Ging ^G7 ^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeeetbr^Ceads thats the^D/F# taste of neurons bli^Gnking

does the t^Ghought of biles red and black the t^Emhought of tounges that taste you back f^Cill you with a noisey osc^D/F#illation

where a ^Gsimple trip to the grocery store can f^Emill you with an object horror can you ^Ctaste the misery of those cr^D/F#ustations

and the sw^Emeetest sweetbread of them all w^Emb6ithin in a kingdom of afar should've ca^Em6used some silent machi^D/F#nations ^Adim7they call them

^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeetbre^Cads i could t^D/F#aste what you were think^Ging ^G7 ^Am7sweeeee^D7eeeeee^Geeeee^Bm7/F#eeeeeeeetbr^Ceads thats the^D/F# taste of neurons bli^Gnking

aw, I could ^D/F#taste what you were t^Ghinking oh, ^Cgive me your ^D/F#thoughts about sw^Geetbread
