Less Than The Air


This is one of my favorite songs of the "The Transient" album. It's fairly simple, the song it just finger picking chords. I didn't include a picking pattern, because its easy to pick up, or you can just make your own. Also, just for a note, the voice that Tangelo the second time is Conor Oberst's, lead singer of Bright Eyes. Standard Tuning (EADGBe) Chords: C = X32010 F = XX3211 G = 320001 Intro: C C F Train's coming gonna G Lay on the track C F Happy right here G Laying on my back C F Let the train wheel G Come take my life C F Let the big steel G F Make it alright cause I've G Got no friend to C F Tell the trial G Lots of enemies so C F Quick to defile G Suppose I'm drunk again but C F I don't care G All I know is I'm C F Less than the air G So lets not C compare C F Feeling sorry are you G Feeling blue are you C F Down and out now G And overdue C F Feeling crumpled up and G Dented in C F Are you trapped within your G F Very own skin it's G Like jail you C F You can't see the bars G Can't escape it by C F Bleeding through your scars G Self deprecation C F Is a boring hand G Your just bringing everyone C Down man C F Feeling sacrificed you G Feeling slammed are you C F Claustrophobic on this G Open land C F Feeling smothered by the G Deep blue sky C F Does the sunset G F Hurt your eyes well your G Not the only one who C F Got caught in the rain G This whole world don't C F Revolve around your pain G You can go on now C F Spin out in misery G I'll take the sun and the C sea C F Whaa sham sham a ling on G Oohh dip dee dip C F While my mental record G Starts to skip C F Oranges, lemon, limes and G Tangelos (tangelo) C F See the coconut tree G F Next to the mighty mango the G High Sierra is C F In my rearview mirror G Ain't it beauty C F Beautiful my lovely dear G We got time so C F So let's not abuse G Let's wear holes in our C Shoes (Whistling) The End, feel free to leave comments or corrections if needed.
