This is my first ever tab, but this song is so damn awesome that I had to put a
tab out there for it that people can either use or improve upon. Again, I am not
an expert with chords but I think this sounds fairly close.

[Verse 1]
E
I was raised up believing
A
I was somehow unique
B
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
A E
Unique in each way you can see
[Verse 2]
E
And now after some thinking
A
I'd say I'd rather be
B
A functioning cog in some great machinery
A E
Serving something beyond me
[Chorus]
E A
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
[Verse 3]
E
What's my name, what's my station
A
Oh just tell me what I should do
B
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
A E
That would do such injustice to you
[Verse 4]
E
Or bow down and be grateful
A
And say "Sure take all that you see"
B
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
A E
And determine my future for me
[Chorus]
E A
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
[Verse 6]
E
If I know only one thing
A
It's that every thing that I see
B
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A E
Often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
A
And I can't keep it to myself
B
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
A E
Why should I wait for anyone else?
[Chorus]
E A
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
E A E
I'll come back to you someday soon myself
[Short Instrumental] E
[Choral Section]
E A
If I had an orchard
E A (Aadd9)
I'd work till I'm raw
A6 E
If i had an orchard
A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
And you would wait tables
E A Asus4 A
And soon run the store
E A
Gold hair in the sunlight
E A (Aadd9)
My light in the dawn
A6 E
If I had an orchard
A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
If I had an orchard
E A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
Harmony Verse - follow same chord pattern as before...
E A
Someday I'll be
E A
Like the man on the screen
A - Asus4 - A - E
