For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Tabs & Lyrics by Sufjan Stevens
For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
guitar tabs lyrics
There are a lot of versions up on the site, but, sadly, most are incorrect. Here
are the real chords (of course, Sufjan changes it up with interesting pull-offs
and hammer-ons with his banjo, but just toy with it and you can get it)
Tuning - Standard
Capo - 8
Chords used - Em C G D
Verse 1:
Em C G D Em C
I have called you children, I have called you son. What is there to answer if
G D Em C G D Em
I'm the only one? Morning comes in paradise - morning comes in light. Still I
C G D
must obey, still I must invite.
Em C G D Em
If there's anything to say, if there's anything to do. If there's any other
C G D
way, I'd do anything for you.
And that's it. It's 100% accurate - or, at least, as accurate as can be expected
when transcribing it from banjo to guitar. Have fun with the pull-offs and hammer-
ons. If you've listened to any of Sufjan's other stuff, you'll know what to do. Enjoy.
