Bright Eyes - The Calendar Hung Itself Tabbed by: Lee Stepien There are a few other tabs for this song and one of them works pretty well, but I saw Eyes in concert and this is how Connor plays the song. There are a few variations below, for everything else it's normal. Em (022000@1)Bmaj (x2444x@1) D7 (xx0212@1) Bb (x1333x@1) A (x02220@1) F# (244322@1)name="chord_022100@1">E [--0--] [--7--] [--x--] [--x--] [--x--] [--2--] B[--8--] (x2444x@1)[--7--] [--x--] [--x--] [--x--] [--2--] G[--9--] (320003@1)[--8--] [--7--] [--7--] [--6--] [--3--] D[--9--] (xx0232@1)[--9--] [--7--] [--7--] [--7--] [--4--] A[--7--] (x02220@1)[--9--] [--9--] [--5--] [--7--] [--x--] E[--x--] (022100@1)[--7--] [--8--] [--6--] [--5--] [--x--] (Start off by muting all the strings. The strum for the verse is the same as the intro, just presses down the chord when appropriate. Listen to the song and you should get it.) EmDoes (022000@1)he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head? BmajAnd (x2444x@1)does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall? EmDoes (022000@1)he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes? BmajLooking (x2444x@1)down every few steps to pretend he walks with you. EmOh (022000@1)does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched, Bmajand (x2444x@1)does he cry through broken sentences that I love you far too much?

BmajIn (x2444x@1)every city, memories would whisper, Here is where you rest. EmI (022000@1)was de-termined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees, Bmajand (x2444x@1)I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.

EmAnd (022000@1)In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge, sun-bruised field Bmajand (x2444x@1)there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed. Em (022000@1) BmajAnd (x2444x@1)it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.
