For The Widows In Paradise For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti Chords by Sufjan Stevens

There's only parts of this tab floating about on the site so I decided to put the chords
lyrics for the whole song up. Really simple to play and great to sing. I think the
recording has a capo on the third but i play without. The intro and the solo use the 
chord sequence so i didn't bother tabbing those. On the G you can use a Gsus2 but both sound
so i stuck with the G. Any comments or corrections to perpetualdays@hotmail.com.

Am	          Fmaj7	    C	              G
I have called you children, I have called you son,
Am	         Fmaj7	     C	          G
What is there to answer when I?m the only one?
Am	         Fmaj7	   C	            G
Morning comes in paradise, morning comes in light,
Am	     Fmaj7	   C	  G
Still I must obey, still I must invite.

           Am	       Fmaj7	       C	   G
If there?s anything to say, if there?s anything to do,
           Am	     Fmaj7	  C	       G
If there?s any other way, I?ll do anything for you.

Am	        Fmaj7	     C	              G
I was dressed embarrassment, I was dressed in wine,
Am	     Fmaj7	C	           G
If you had a part of me will you take your time?
Am	  Fmaj7      C	       G
Even if I come back, even if I die,
Am	      Fmaj7	C	 G
Is there some idea to replace my life?

       Am	   Fmaj7	 C	           G
Like a father to impress, like a mother?s mourning dress,
       Am 	   Fmaj7	 C	      G
If you ever make a mess, I?ll do anything for you.

Am	          Fmaj7	    C	              G
I have called you preacher, I have called you son,
Am	      Fmaj7	C	       G
If you have a father or if you haven?t one.

	Am	     Fmaj7
I?ll do anything for you,
	C	     G
I?ll do anything for you,
	Am	     Fmaj7
I?ll do anything for you,
	C	     G
I?ll do anything for you.

	Am	     Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
	C	     G
I did everything for you,
	Am	     Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
	C	     G
I did everything for you.

	Am	     Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
	C	     G
I did everything for you,
	Am	     Fmaj7
I did everything for you,
	C	     G
I did everything for you.
