Bright Eyes - Ladder Song, off of The People's Key

It's a great song on the piano, but goes well on an acoustic guitar

Make sure you play the G chord 
and the B - Bb/Bm transition as follows;

G:    320003

Bm:    x24432
Bb/Bm: x14432

Bm                     Bb/Bm
No one knows where the ladder goes
Bm                           Bb/Bm
You're going to lose what you love the most
Em                  G
You're not alone in anything
Em                   G
You're not unique in dying
Bm                     Bb/Bm
I feel estranged every now and then
Bm                 Bb/Bm
Fall asleep reading science fiction
Em                    G
I want to fly in your silver ship
Em                 G      A
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit

D
It's on now
             A
The days are long now
                G
The ups and the sundowns
               A
In a twisting mind
               D
If I've got to go first
              A
I'll do it on my terms
             G                        A
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides
          B       A  G
They were friends of mine

Bm                         Bb/Bm
Don't hang around once the promise breaks
Bm                       Bb/Bm
Or you'll be there when the next one's made
Em                 G
Kiss the feet of a charlatan
Em             G
Some imagined freedom
Bm              Bb/Bm
All the rest is predictable
Bm                     Bb/Bm
You can say you're the first to know
Em                 G
Bought a mantra to concentrate
Em           G       A
Car alarm or hissing snake

D
I know now
                  A
How it's going to turn now
           G
You got to calm down
                A
Or I'll lose my place
                  D
Got to get to the center
                  A
Got to get to the concert
               G
Run off with a dancer
             E
Going to celebrate

Em               A
We'll welcome to new age
D          G  G/f# Em
Covered in warrior paint
                A             D   Dmaj7  D7
Lights from the jungle to the sky
Em              A
I've seen how a star's born
D                 G    G/f# Em 
Looks just like a blood orange
              A                D
Don't it just make you want to cry
          B     A  G
Precious friend of mine?

Bm                     Bb/Bm
Will I know when it's finally done
Bm                     Bb/Bm
This whole life's a hallucination
Em                  G
You're not alone in anything
Em                  G
You're not alone in trying 
A/D
To be
