Song: we all know
Album: nino rojo (2004)

Intro:      (x4)
              
We all know
                       
That the wind blows
                      
And the moon glows
                      
And our lungs grow

We belong to the floating hand
       ...
that's made by some animals,
                       
And we all dance so
                 
We can let go
                      
And remove clothes
                   
And trade lobes

Like the type of tongue that roots from your breast
       ...
and it shakes your pretty little clavicle,
                 
A good friend
              
Is walking
                 
To a homeland
                  
An inside land,

And to him you can say

Leave your eyes at the horizon's dead door cause you
...
won't need them anymore,
                
The children
                                     
Da da da di dum spend the dawning
                                   
Da da da di dum and the morning
                               
Da da da di ra disappearing

Hm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm m

They reappeared as the seed of love
                                          
you know the earth births the vegetables,
               
We all know (x4)

Outro: (Enter horn section)
            
Da dum da dum da da da... etc

The song mainly consists of the top progression
but at various times frequents the lower.

Attempted made as far as possible to correspond the chord
changes w/lyrics.
Fingerpicked/strummed (of course)
d= down strum
u= up stum
ux= up muffle (get the down up motion going but just slightly
release pressure on the upward movement to create the small muffle)

Good Luck
