For The Widows In Paradise For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti Tab

by Sufjan Stevens


There's only parts of this tab floating about on the site so I decided to put the chords
lyrics for the whole song up. Really simple to play and great to sing. I think the
recording has a capo on the third but i play without. The intro and the solo use the 
chord sequence so i didn't bother tabbing those. On the G you can use a Gsus2 but both sound

	          	    	              
I have called you children, I have called you son,
	         	     	          
What is there to answer when I’m the only one?
	         	   	            
Morning comes in paradise, morning comes in light,
	     	   	  
Still I must obey, still I must invite.

           	       	       	   
If there’s anything to say, if there’s anything to do,
           	     	  	       
If there’s any other way, I’ll do anything for you.

	        	     	              
I was dressed embarrassment, I was dressed in wine,
	     		           
If you had a part of me will you take your time?
	        	       
Even if I come back, even if I die,
	      		 
Is there some idea to replace my life?

       	   	 	           
Like a father to impress, like a mother’s mourning dress,
        	   	 	      
If you ever make a mess, I’ll do anything for you.

	          	    	              
I have called you preacher, I have called you son,
	      		       
If you have a father or if you haven’t one.

		     
I’ll do anything for you,
		     
I’ll do anything for you,
		     
I’ll do anything for you,
		     
I’ll do anything for you.

		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you.

		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you,
		     
I did everything for you.
