1904

By The Tallest Man on Earth

[Intro]
C F X2
C F Dm G X2

[Verse]
       C                         F
Well some may say it's not even funny
               Dm             G
And there you stand not even trying
      C                          F
They say it is in line with the aging
           Dm                 G
Sometimes noise is just your mind

[Chorus]
         F          C           G
But the lesson is vague and the lightning
         F            C            G
Shows a deer with her mind on the moor
         C                                F
And now something with the sun is just different
            Dm                G  C
Since they shook the earth in 1904

[Instrumental]
C F Dm G

[Verse]
          C                           F
And as I lowered down I hear it's a message
           Dm                            G
And it's 19 just telling people to get out
         C                           F
And if there was just a way I could tell them
           Dm               G
It's been long but you are right

[Chorus]
           F         C          G
And the singing is slow and so quiet
          F               C            G
Like the sound when you sweep off the floor
         C                                 F
And now something with the dirt is just different
            Dm                 G C
Since they shook the earth in 1904

[Instrumental]
C F Dm G X 2

[Interlude]
              Em                     F
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
            Am            F
Something passing by our shore
         Em               F
And the only one you can tell it to
               Am                 G
Well it's the only one that ever knows

[Verse]
                 C                             F
And since more robbers made to go through my window
                       Dm                                G
Here is something so strange and something louder than before
         C                         F
And you living with no light or direction
            Dm                G
But damn precise and now you know

[Chorus]
        F          C            G
When believing is hard but you go now
         F             C              G
And you feel what you drag cross the floor
         C                                      F
Because something with these trails are just different
            Dm                G  C
Since they shook the earth in 1904

Instrumental: C F Dm G X 2

[Interlude]
              Em                     F
And when the night is young but the bridge is up
           Am             F
Something passing by our shore
         Em                F
And the only one you will tell it to
               Am                     G
Well it's the only one who will ever know

[Chorus]
     C                           F
And some will say it's not even healthy
             Dm                G
But body is young and mind is sure
      C                               F
That something is alright with your thinking
            Dm                G  C
Cause they shook the earth in 1904
