This is Kevin Devine's cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's Holland 1945, as played on his live "Live At Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007" Intro: C Muted strumming during "One... Two..."

^CThe only girl I've ^Gever loved ^CWas born with r^Goses in her eyes ^CBut then t^Ghey buried her alive One ev^Dening 194^C5 With jus^Dt her sis^Gter at her side And only ^Dweeks be^Cfore the guns All came and ^Drained on e^Gveryone Now she's a ^Dlittle b^Coy in Spain Playing pia^Dnos fille^Gd with flames On empty ^Drings around^C the sun All sing to ^Dsay my dre^Gam has come

But now we must ^Cpick up^G every piece Of the ^Clife we used to^G love Just to ^Ckeep ^Gourselves At least eno^Cugh to ca^Drry on

Same as Verse 1: And now we ride the circus wheel With your dark brother wrapped in white Says it was good to be alive But now he rides a comet's flame And won't be coming back again The Earth looks better from a star That's right above from where you are He didn't mean to make you cry With sparks that ring and bullets fly On empty rings around your heart The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must ^Cpick up^G every piece Of the ^Clife we used to^G love Just to ^Ckeep ^Gourselves At least eno^Cugh to ca^Drry on

And here^C's where^G your mother sleeps And ^Chere ^Gis th^De room where your brothers were born Indenti^Cons ^Gin the sheets Where ^Ctheir^G bo^Ddies once moved but don't move anymore And it's so ^Csad to^G see t^Che worl^Gd agree That they'd ^Crather se^De their faces fill with flies All whe^Cn I'd want to^D keep whit^Ge roses in their eyes

Play C, G repeating until the end
