*I’m pretty sure this is how she goes. It’s difficult to tell sometimes because the
arrangement is occasionally at odds with the guitar. The verses and first
I’m the most confident is correct—the final pre-chorus/chorus I’m less sure about. This
an amazing song, by the way. I hope this helps you out.*
Pittsfield – by Sufjan Stevens
Capo 5th
VERSE 1:
IC'm not afraid of Amyou now, I Gknow
So IF climbedC down from theAm bunk beds this Glow
I can talk back to you now, I know
From a few things I learned from this TV show
You can work late till midnight, we don't care
We can fix our own meals, we can wash our own hair
I go to school before sunrise, in the cold
And I pulled the alarm, and I kicked up the salad bowls
PRECHORUS 1:
FSince that Gtime weF meant to Csay muchF
FUnsaid Cthings beFgin to cChange
FAfter Gschool we sFhoveled thCrough the Fsnow
FDrive upCstate in Fsilence Cin the cFold
CHORUS:
F G F (possibly Am)
You can remind me of it
FThat I wasG lazy and tired
F G F (possibly Am)
You can work all your life as
F G F C F
I'Gm nFot AmafraGid of you anymore
VERSE 2:
If I loved you a long time, I don't know
If I can't recall the last time you told me so
Here in this house in Pittsfield
The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post
Hiding the bills in the kitchen on the floor
And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War
There was a flood in the bathroom last May
And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled oh the river it made
PRECHORUS 2:
FStand there, Gtell meF that I'm Cof no uFse
FThings unsCpoken Fbreak us Cif we shFare
FThere's still Gtime to Fwash the Ckitchen fFloor
FOn your Cknees, Fat the sCink once Fmore
YFou can rCemind me Fthat I was Ctired
YFou can workC late andF give yourself Cup
NFow that I'm Colder, Fwiser, and wCorking less
IF don't reCgret having lFeft the place aC mess F
CHORUS:
F C G F C
YGou can remind me that I was lazy and tired
FYou can reCcall your liGfe as
F C G F C
(possibly F) C
I'm not afraid of you, anymore
F C Am (possibly F) C
