I can't get the above version to sound right (for which I take full and total responsibility), but this one works, too. Basically.
G Em seeds came in the mail today from holland Dsus C and the language on the package was wonderful and strange G Em all sorts of flowers that grow up from the earth Dsus C in goodly colors gloriously arranged C Dsus i circled the house and i scattered them around G C let the water sink down into the soil C Dsus stared a long time at the residue G C blood, milk and oil C Dsus god the humidity is something G C our shirts are soaked clean through C Dsus the house is throbbing and the heat keeps coming G C and i keep looking at you G Em Dsus C A:---------3---2-----0---- G Em and then you're singing in dutch to me Dsus C and i recognize the song G Em it seems so old and so fragile Dsus C and i haven't heard it in so long C D we may throw the windows open later G C but we are not as far west as you suppose we are C Dsus hot wind coming off the water G C the sky gone crazy with stars C Dsus while we stay here we imagine we're alive G C we see shadows on the walls C Dsus there's something waiting for us in the hot, wet air G C sweat, water and alcohol **changes here** G just the old blood Dsus rising up through the wooden floor again G just the old love C asking for more again
I just tried doing fixing this tab up a little as well… I hope it helps.
Minnesota Tab I just tried to edit the existing tab, which was close to correct but has a few problems. The biggest thing is that it was missing the Am during the chorus part, and just had a C. You can hear he does a walkdown on the A string from C to Am. The D* means play a normal D but hammer on and off on the G string a couple of times. You also dont have to... I think it was labelled a Dsus in the other tab but I don't think that's correct. Also I find the C sounds good if you play C9 - which makes for an easier transition too. C9 = 3 3 0 2 3 x Enjoy.
