Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes ** The song is recorded with a guitar tuned down a half-step to Eb** (Eb Ab Db Gb C Eb) (palm-muted) E x16 **Verse 1**
EI was raised up believing I was sAomehow unique Like a Bsnowflake distinct among snowflakes UnAique in each way you can sEee
And now Eafter some thinking I'd say AI'd rather be A Bfunctioning cog in some great machinery AServing something beyond Eme
**Chorus** (begin strumming)
But I Edon't, I don't know Awhat that will be I'll Eget back to you someday Asoon you will Esee
**Verse 2**
What's my Ename, what's my station Oh just Atell me what I should do I don't Bneed to be kind to the armies of night That would Ado such injustice to Eyou
Or bow Edown and be grateful And say "ASure take all that you see" To the Bmen who move only in dimly-lit halls And deAtermine my future for Eme
**Chorus** (with vigor)
And I Edon't, I don't know Awho to believe I'll get Eback to you someday soAon you will Esee
**Verse 3** (with subdued enthusiasm / palm-mute)
If I Eknow only one thing It's that Aevery thing that I see Of the Bworld outside is so inconceivable AOften I barely can Espeak
Yeah I'm Etongue tied and dizzy And I Acan't keep it to myself What Bgood is it to sing helplessness blues? Why should AI wait for anyone Eelse?
**Chorus** (With renewed intensity)
And I Eknow, I know you will Akeep me on the shelf I'll come Eback to you someday sAoon myyyy--Eself
**Awesome** E x6
If I had an oAmaj7rchard I'd Ework till I'm raw F#m If Ei had an orchard (C#m) Amaj7 I'd work till I'm sore
And Eyou would wait Atables And Esoon run the Amaj7store
Gold Ehair in the Amaj7sunlight My Elight in the Amaj7dawn F#m If I had an Eorchard (C#m) Amaj7 I'd work till I'm sore
If EI had an Aorchard I'd Ework till I'm sAmaj7ore
EOoooooAmaj7OOOhhhh EOoooooF#mOOOhhhh EOohhhhhhoooOOOOhAoooohhhh
ESomeday I'll Abe Like the Eman on the sAcreen E
