Andrew Bird - Measuring Cups

andrew bird – measuring cups
standard tuning

having navigated your way through this entire land witch is ultimateguitar to the
very outskirts where gems like andrew bird lie , i’m sure i don’t need to tell you
what a great song this is . however , i feel the need to leave an obligatory note
with these chords stating that fact : “this is a sensational song , it’s like
someone took that warm apple pie your mother used to make , filled it with rainbows
and somehow condensed the result into audible pleasure!”

sorry to delay your playing of this song to state the obvious , and sorry once
again for delaying it further by acknowledging the delay . and without further
delay . . . here’s that song!
( well at least here’s a series of letters of numbers that reflect particular
wavelengths of light that travel to your eyes and are neurologically transmitted
to you brain which interprets the meaning and then resultantly sends out potential
differences along synapses to the relevant muscles in order for the right
frequencies to be produced by both instruments and voice and so the air will
vibrate at these frequencies and travel to our ears oscillating the thin membrane
of the eardrum sending signals back to our brain which we interpret as the
song . . . ) i’m sorry , i’m so highfalutin . . . here it is .

( upbeat notes – straight to G )
