Holland 1945 Chords & Tabs
Holland, 1945 Acoustic
by Neutral Milk Hotel
(capo on the 1st) - not necessary, but that's how I like it
Cadd9 G
The only girl I've ever loved
Cadd9 G
Was born with roses in her eyes
Cadd9 G
But then they buried her alive
D
One evening 1945
Cadd9 D G
With just her sister at her side
D Cadd9
And only weeks before the guns
D G
All came and rained on everyone
D Cadd9
Now she's a little boy in Spain
D G
Playing pianos filled with flames
D Cadd9
On empty rings around the sun
D Cadd9 G
All sing to say my dream has come
Cadd9 G
But now we must pick up every piece
Cadd9 G
Of the life we used to love
Cadd9
Just to keep ourselves
G D
At least enough to carry on

Cadd9 G
And now we ride the circus wheel
Cadd9 G
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Cadd9 G
Says it was good to be alive
D Cadd9
But now he rides a comet's flame
D G
He won't be coming back again
D Cadd9
The earth looks better from a star
D G
That's right above from where you are
D Cadd9
He didn't mean to make you cry
D G
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
D Cadd9
On empty rings around your heart
D Cadd9 G
The world just screams and falls apart
Cadd9 G
But now we must pick up every piece
Cadd9 G
Of the life we used to love
Cadd9
Just to keep ourselves
G D
At least enough to carry on
Cadd9 G
And here's where your mother sleeps
Cadd9 G D
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Cadd9 G
Indentions in the sheets
Cadd9 G D
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And it's so sad to see the world agree
Cadd9 G D
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
Cadd9 D G
All when I'd want to keep wine and roses in their eyes
