Hey, I saw the chords for this song were incomplete, and I wanted to learn to play this
so I did it myself...the chords are 98% correct I’d say, towards the end I had a little
not the best at tabbing songs, but verse/chorus chords are perfect. Enjoy. -L. Martin
Bright Eyes - "A Celebration Upon Completion" standard tuning
Intro is basis of the song’s finger picking style....
(2x)
In between the chords C and C/B, and C/B and G6, there is a 3-1-0/1 figure on the B
that you should note should you want to play the song like Conor does on the album. I
have the time or knowledge on how to tab it, but I can definitely play it myself, sorry
I can’t help you there. Use your pinky hit the B string, 3rd fret while playing C and
chords, andafter a while , it should come along. Good Luck. Great song, by the way. thnx.
my grandfather's name was moon
because his eyes were bright and round
and no amount of time or liquor could dull them
my grandmother's name was joy
because it spilled out of her heart
and bathed her precious children in its warmth
and there was happiness in life beyond the sorrow and the pain
but how they ever found it i cannot explain
i guess time has a way of making everything alright
it's just there is not enough of it
and so we drink and we sing and we celebrate this lie
and hope that it will last
F G C C C/B G6 C/g -->slide up 2 frets on B
morning is here night, has passed string & come back to C/g C
my grandfather was a doctor
he cured the sick with his kind hands
and he taught me how to sail and how to find dry land
my grandmother was all sweetness
and when she spoke we all heard bells
and they rang in such a way that we were comforted
and they held on to each other with all of the strength they had
and they loved with devotion be-yond what i understand
but i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable
and the days seem cold and long
but we’ll cry and we dance
(hit x32013 2 or
and we stumble into love in awkward, perfect grace 3 times)
the moon is gone and the sun has took its place (last line 2x)
