Capo: 4
This is the correct version of Beginner’s Mind that Conor uses live. Track 8 of The People's Key, Bright Eyes' final album. Capo 4
DHold on tight beF#ginners mind, TheBm wheel is spinning Atoo EmFast to make your moveA The F#worst must be asBmsumed Oh Dhow they'll try to F#pull and pry BmAway what you know Anow EmBeat and beat it out A Leave a F#drum that makes no sound Bm A Gsnuff film on aF# Jumbo-tron forEm all the world to see A
A Emcocktail napkin Aepitaph Some Dpsychobabble Bmtelegram MEmessage written in the Asand TheD tide rolls inBm EmSwear you'll do the Aopposite Of Dall those tangled Bmhypocrites Who Emsay that the exAperiment has Dfailed BmDon't go there GYou're getting nowhere AYou're getting nowhere
DStay a while my iF#nner child I'd Bmlike to learn your Atrick EmKnow what makes you tickA
F#Nurse you when you're sBmick Oh Dhow you've grown so F#cynical Hard Bmlines carved in your faceA The Emsunshine so clich?A? Just like F#love and Bmpain You Gtried your best on theF# Rorschach test but there's Emjust nothing to seeA
HeardEm terabytes of Aperfect pitch Some Duniversal eleganceBm EmStack the seventh and the Afifth ADlong the gridBm EmSwear you’ll be the opAposite Of Dall the stilted Bmhypocrites You Emknow what made you Ainfamous to Dthem, Bmdon't you? GYou keep starting over AYou keep starting over F#You keep starting over BmYou keep starting over GKeep starting over AKeep starting over
DHold on tight beF#ginners mind The cuBmrrents far too sAtrong It will Emcarry you along A Till you're F#just like everyone Bm
DStay a while my F#inner child I'd Bmlike to learn yourA trick EmKnow what makes you tickA F#Nurse you when you're sBmick
G F# Em A The other Capo 1 version of this song has the right tonality, but in the wrong Capo position. I use Barre chords on the F#, Bm, G and the A chord for the “getting nowhere” and “starting over” lines to give it a fuller sound.
