I went crazy after I saw the lead singer, Sam Bentley, of The Paper Kites perform "Tenenbaum" solo and acoustically. After searching for the tab and coming up empty handed, I decided to figure it out myself. This is my first time, so give me that, but I think it sounds pretty head on. Have fun! P.S. The tuning is very strange, but who cares - this song is beautiful. Tuning (all are tuned down except for the high E): E A# F# C# G# C# Introduction: E |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A#|----3-------3------3-----------3------3-----3------3------3----------3--------| F#|--------0-------------0-----------0------------0-------------0----------0-----| C#|----4-----4-------------4------4----4-------4----4-------------4----------4---| G#|-5--------------2-----------0------------0-------------2-----------0----------| C#|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------**-----------------------------------------| A#|------3-------3------3-------3---**------3-------3-------3-------3----------| F#|----------0--------------0-------**----------0---------------0--------------| C#|------4-----4--------4-----4-----**------4-----4---------4-----4------------| G#|---------------------------------**-----------------------------------------| C#|--0---------------0--------------**---0---------------0---------------------| **Repeat back to beginning of intro, then second time through continue on without repeating.

Lyrics (not sure if these are correct, best I could find online): 1st Verse: You're a bitter kind I love you so. Sour is my mind For what you sow. How I let it grow. 1st Chorus: Call them radiant, call them mother's eyes Home's a narrow space for me to find Your beguiling state and endless heights. I'm just not moving right Just not moving right when it's just not you. 2nd Verse: Under neon lights Where I wake I'm not feeling right So they say Rough kind of a day 2nd Chorus: Don my clothing, robes of ageing white Rattled windows on the old green line Do you feel it like I hope you might? I'm just not seeing right Just not seeing right when its just not you.
