The Upper Peninsula Tabs & Lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

The Upper Peninsula

guitar tabs lyrics

Sufjan Stevens

Standard Tuning

Capo 3 (all tabs and chords relative)

I've only been able to find the chords to this song which I prefer down a
fret as well as the melody. Groovy song by the way.

For the into/bridge there are a few interlocking melodies so I tabbed a
rhythm that seemed to sound good alone but of course you can add notes
where you feel like it.

Chorus Chords + Verse Chords

Em Bm C D

I live in America with a pair of Payless pair of shoes
The Upper Peninsula and the television news
I've seen my wife at the K-Mart
In strange ideas we live apart

I live in a trailer home with a snowmobile, my car
The window is broken out and the interstate is far
I drove all night to find my child
In strange ideas he's been revived

In strange ideas, in stranger times
I've no idea what's right sometimes
I lost my mind, I lost my life
I lost my job, I lost my wife
