Masterswarm Lyrics
by Andrew Bird
I couldn't find this anywhere on the internet. This is my first tab but i'm
pretty sure it's accurate. I'm not too sure about the Dm7 over "As he acts with
more ..." so feel free to email me at bill.croughan.bill@gmail.com for any corrections
I think he's actually tuned a half step down because it sounds like the bass note
goes low for the Eb but I'm too lazy so it sounds good in standard too.
Gmsus2/A - 5x52xx
Intro: Em
Come what may. Lay your eggs where it's warm
Come here to swarm
Come by sea. Swarm like smoke in the dawn
We were the young --- We were the swarm. radiolarians
Midges and moths. Cut from the cloth We were the young
G (just the note)
We were the swarm
Break: Am G# Bm Am G# Bm
Flailing fetal fleas feeding from the arms of the master
Burrow into me This is sure to misspell disaster
Oh and the young in their larva state orchestrating plays
investments of translucent alabaster
Break: Dm C Em F
So they took me to the hospital
They put my body through a scan
What they saw there would impress them all
for inside me grows a man
he speaks with perfect diction
as he orders my eviction
as he acts with more conviction than I, I ,I
Break: Am G# Bm Am G# Bm
Oh burrow into me
this is sure to misspell disaster
Oh burrow into me
feeding from the arms of the master
Break: Dm C Em F
We were the young We were the swarm
We were the young Radiolarians
We were the young We were the swarm
We were the young Radiolarians
We were the young We were the swarm
We were the young Radiolarians
Come what may, come what may, come
