#1 (TUNNELS) 
 
THIS IS A VERY ROUGH VERSION, DESIGNED FOR EASE OF PLAYING ON AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR. 
APOLOGIES FOR ANY ERRORS (I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE Am7 IN PARTICULAR) 
 
 
INTRO: F5 
 
    F5  A5 F5       A5  D5 
And if the snow buries my, 
A5    Bb5          F5  
  my neighborhood. 
    F5             A5  F5  
And if my parents are crying 
          A5       D5 
then I'll dig a tunnel 
     A5     Bb5     F5  
from my window to yours,  
A5       D5        A5     Bb5     F5 
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours. 
 

F5         A5     F5 
You climb out the chimney  
            A5     D5 
and meet me in the middle, 
    A5      Bb5     F5 
the middle of the town. 
    F5                    A5  F5        
And since there's no one else around, 
       A5            D5  
we let our hair grow long 
       A5          Bb5      F5 
and forget all we used to know, 
         A5         D5  
then our skin gets thicker 
     A5          Bb5     F5  
from living out in the snow.  
 

F5                    A5 
You change all the lead  
F5               A5 
sleepin' in my head, 
D5                 A5 
  as the day grows dim 
D5                  C5     C5  
  I hear you sing a golden hymn.  
 
Then we tried to name our babies,  

but we forgot all the names that,  

the names we used to know.  

But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,  

and our parent's bedrooms,  

and the bedrooms of our friends.  

Then we think of our parents,  

well what ever happened to them?!  
 
You change all the lead  

sleepin' in my head to gold,  

as the day grows dim ,  

I hear you sing a golden hymn,  

the song I've been trying to say.  
 
Purify the colors, purify my mind.  

Purify the colors, purify my mind,  

and spread the ashes of the colors  

over this heart of mine!  
 
THEN REPEATED AS ABOVE 
 
NOTE: IF, LIKE ME, YOU HATE PLAYING THAT AWKWARD F CHORD FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME, 

YOU CAN PUT A CAPO ON FRET 5 AND PLAY IT LIKE THIS: - 
 
VERSE:       
C5 E5 C5  E5 A5 E5 F5 C5 
CHORUS:      
C5 E5 C5 E5 A5 E5 A5 G5 G5
