Seven Swans by Sufjan Stevens




        Seven Swans 







Intro:

Am G A C G A(m)

Am          G        A
We didn't sleep too late.
C            G           A(m)
There was a fire in the yard.
Am           G           A
All of the trees were in light.
C           G         A(m)
They had no faces to show.
Am        G          C
I saw a sign in the sky:
C             G            A(m)
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans.
Am           G        C
I heard a voice in my mind:
C           G           A(m)
I will try, I will try, I will try.
C           G           A(m)
I will try, I will try, I will try.


Am          G          A
We saw the dragon move down.
C           G           A(m)
My father burned into coal.
Am          G         A
My mother saw it from far.
C             G           A(m)
She took her purse to the bed.
Am       G            A
I saw a sign in the sky:
C             G           A(m)
Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns.
Am          G        A
I heard a voice in my mind:
C           G           A(m)
I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.
         C           G           A(m)
He said: I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.
         C           G           A(m)
He said: I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.

He will take you. If you run,
He will chase you.
He will take you. If you run,
He will chase you
'cause He is the Lord.

'Cause He is the Lord...
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans,
seven swans, seven swans...

version 3











This is an incredibly creepy song when played and sung correctly. In the recording, 
is playing a 4 string banjo, so the tuning for guitar is with the high e string tuned down 
a d.

The up side of playing this on the guitar instead of the banjo is that on the banjo, it 
very difficult to produce a lot of sound when strumming. With a guitar, however, it is 
to create a large sound when strumming.

Tuning - EADGBD

-Hope you enjoy

Lyrics:
We didn't sleep too late.
There was a fire in the yard.
All of the tress were in light.
They had no faces to show.
I saw a sign in the sky:
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans.
I heard a voice in my mind:
"I will try, I will try, I will try.
I will try, I will try, I will try."

We saw the dragon move down.
My father burned into coal.
My mother saw it from far.
She took her purse to the bed.
I saw a sign in the sky:
Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns.
I heard a voice in my mind:
"I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."
He said: "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."
He said: "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord."
