Song: Me and You
Album: I Eat Kids (& Other Songs for Rebellious Children)
[Also heard on Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs]
This quickly became one of my favorite songs. I couldn't find the chords for it,
so I figured them out.
-Standard Tuning
-Capo on 1st fret
Basic strumming pattern:
G C G G D G
e------3-----3-------------3------3-----3------3-----3---||
B------3-----3------1------3------3-----3------2-----3---||
G------0-----0------0------0------0-----0------3-----0---||
D------0-----0------2------0------0-----0---0--------0---||
A------2-----2---3--3------2------2-----2------------2---||
E---3--3--3--3----------3--3---3--3--3--3---------3--3---||
* * * * * * * *
The *'s represent thumb strokes, making up the bass line for the song.
The song keeps this pattern throughout.

me and you here waiting for the dark,
G C G
me and you we are the spark,
G D G
me and you lightin' candles in the dark
Em G
to say, someday
D G
there will be, a new way...
G C G
Me and you singing to the birds,
G D G
me and you not sayin' a word,
G C G
me and you wouldn't call it absurd,
G D G
that's because me and you have heard,
Em G
you can fly, as high

as the sky if you try...

Me and you just singing on the train,
G D G
me and you listening to the rain,

me and you, sittin' on the lawn,
G D G
me and you just singing our song.
Em G
Just to rhyme, to shine,
D G
and to pass the time.
G C G
Me and you singing to all,
G D G
me and you just having a ball,
G C G
me and you drawing on the wall,
G D G
me and you following our call
Em G
to be like the trees,
D G
just as free and easy.
G C G
Me and you just singing on the train,
G D G
me and you listening to the rain,
G C G
me and you we are the same,
G D G
me and you have all the fame
Em G
we need. Indeed,
D G
me and you are we...
