A simple, but beautiful Sufjan Stevens song. The entire song revolves around a repeated piano line tabbed below. This line is really just a changing bass note played under the root and third of a Bb chord, so it's a very easy song to improvise a little in. Additionally, I added a transcrition of the piano line down an octave if the higher one doesn't work well with your arrangement. The recorders that join the song in the chorus are just descending down a Bb major scale (with some embellisments) until they reach D, and then starting over again. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Piano Transcription: Bb/D Bb/F Bb/C e|----------10------------------10------------------10------------------10------| B|-----11--------11--------11--------11--------11--------11--------11--------11-| G|-7------------------10--------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------10------------------10----------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Alternative: Bb/D Bb/F Bb/C e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------3---------------3---------------3---------------3--------------------| G|-----3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3-------3----------------| D|-0---------------3------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------3---------------3----------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] Bb/D Bb/F Bb/C (x4) [Verse 1]
