Great and Smaller Things

Honey is Cool

Great song from a little known Swedish band boasting Karen Dreijer of both Fever Ray
and The Knife fame on lead vocals. This song is off their second full-length
album, Early Morning Are You Working? (1999). The lyrics are my own interpretation, so
please feel free to suggest any alterations.

Chorus:
             D
Do I seem to fall in?
             C
Do I seem to fall in?
             D
Do I seem to fall in?
             C
Do I seem to fall in?

There is a little transitional bit played from C to D whenever the guitar goes from
chorus to verse:

     C         D     Or    C   D
e|---0---------2-----------3-4-5-------------------------------------|
B|---1---------3-----------3-4-5-------------------------------------|
G|---0---------2-----------5-6-7-------------------------------------|
D|---2-------0-0-----------5-6-7-------------------------------------|
A|---3-3--4----X-----------3-4-5-------------------------------------|
E|---0---------X-----------X-X-X-------------------------------------|

Then there is this solo bit that mimics the beat of the verse:

    D                     C                    B
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse:

I collect them things, and
C
Great and smaller things, and
G
Underneath the cover
You will always find a...

I collect them things, and
Great and smaller things, and
Underneath the cover
You can find a brand new lover.

Do I seem to fall in?
Do I seem to fall in?
Do I seem to fall in?
Do I seem to fall in?

The second one better than the first one
Replaced the will in me.
Underneath the cover:
The place to be.

I collect them things, and
Great and smaller things, and
It is always underneath the cover,
You can find a brand new lover.

Chorus

Enjoy!
