Built to Spill- Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss-
Transcribed by John Crowell

It's best to play this song with open chords and kinda bluegrass style
It's in standard tuning

e------0---------------0-----|
B------1---------------2-----|
G------0---------------2-----|
D------2---------------2-----|
A—3--------------0-----------|
E----------------------------|

Like so


And when I say F*, I mean F like, instead of the barre chord
                                       like is used in the verse.

So here it goes

Intro- C

C                   A          G                  F
I know you're making accidents and stars for everyone
C         A           G                         F
you're amazing half of them won't know until you're gone
C               A            G                           F
and in this ritual you take command and lose control
C              A              G                 F
and in this situation find an ocean, sell your soul

F *                                   C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                   C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                   C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                   C
fly around my pretty little miss


C                  A      G               F
and when it's over set aside a moment to forget
C                   A                  G             F
it's now or never now's the chance to choose what you'll regret
C             A                      G                      F
to taking all your time and leaving me with more than I want
C             A                      G               F
because I know this time absolutely, positively
C        A
may...maybe
G        F
may...maybe
C         A
may...maybe
G         F
may

F*                                     C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                      C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                      C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                      C
fly around my pretty little miss

F*                                  C
and all the signs of your life
F*                                  C
you're making all time alright
F*                                   C
and all the lines of your life
F*                C
you make it fine

C                   A      G                  F
and when it's later open up your window just in case
C            A       G                      F
you're a radar built to scan the deeps of outer space
C               A            G                    F
and if you recognize subtle patterns in the sky
C                  A            G            F
don't take it as a sign unless it eases your mind

C
why don't you
F*                              C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                               C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                              C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F*                                C- let it ring out baby!
fly around my pretty little miss


All in all, a pretty perfect pop song.

Have a great day!
