Purple Bottle Tab

by Animal Collective


These chords are not exact to what's played on the album, but it offers something to
along to.  I like to play the first three chords of this song using only the E major chord
 then the high and low E's and the B string are left open the whole time.  then the 
and C#m are play like their respective minor bar chord shapes with the E's and B
left open.  It sounds kind of similar to the open E tuning that they probably use.

I've gotta big big big big heart beat, yeah
                               
I think you are the sweetest thing

I wear a coat of feelings and they are loud

I've been having good days

Think we are the right age
     
To start out own peculiar ways

With good friendly homes?

verse 2 & 3

Pre chorus #1:
                                              
Sometimes you're quiet and sometimes I'm quiet. Hallelujah!
                                                         
Sometimes I'm talkative and sometimes you're not talkative, I know....

verses 4-6 and pre chorus
                                   
Can I tell you that you are the purple in me?
                                   
Can I call you just to hear you, would you care?
                                   
When I saw you put your purple finger on me
                      
There's a feelin' in your bottle
             
Found your bottle, found your heart
                      
Gives a feeling from your bottled little part

Gotta crush high
             
Thought I crushed all I could
                            
Crushed all I can then I touched your hand
                 
Crush high dont want it to stop
                                        
Cause stories of your brother make my crush high pop
                                   
And you couldnt really know cause its in my toes
                                     
And sometimes i wonder whered that crush high go
                  
Crush high then i go and take some pills
                                    
Cause i cant do all of my dos and still feel ill
You get that whooooooo (x8)
