Around Us


Artist: Jonsi Song: Around us Album: Go (2010) Lyrics via http://lyrics.wikia.com/J%C3%B3nsi:Around_Us This is based on the acoustic (piano) performance aired January 21st 2010 on WNYC (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/episodes/2010/01/21/segments/148377). I you read this before the album is released (April 5-6th 2010), you may listen to a small part of the whole track which is part of the album medley available at Jonsi's website: http://jonsi.com/ . Setup: Standard tuning E A D G e Capo on 1st Listening to the piano, it seems that the song can be played reasonably accurately following this scheme: Verse 4/4: D / D / Em7 / G Intermezzo: 4/4: Em / G / Em / G (Em seems better here) D Em7 I see the walls, then see them fall G You break through them all D Em7 I see you crawl, now you stand tall G Grow and grow till tall In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering Jump into lakes, the surface breaksa We swim underwater, and our mouths - In tune Em G Em G We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow Em G Em G We all want to go with the trees we will grow Em G Em G We all want to know when we're all meant to go To a place you and I... I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth I see a door, holes in the floor We'll break seeds, we'll grow There's songs, songs you bring to us You pin both the wings on us I hear, I see you sing for us You go tie a string around us There's songs, songs you bring to us You pin both the wings on us I hear, I see you sing for us You go tie a string around us We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow We all want to go with the trees We all want to know when we're all meant to go To a place you and I... We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow We all want to go with the trees we will grow We all want to know when we're all meant to go To a place you and I... I see you grow : I see you grow : Grow taller (And our mouths - In tune) Hope you'll enjoy this song, Joachim
