Em                     C           G
Spoon full of Sugar in Montreal city
Em                            C            G
When the leaves are dying and look so pretty
Em                           C               G
At home the ships are on the rocks and sinking
Em                            C                G
And as hard as we try we just cant stop thinking
Em                    C          G
Dirt in my fist roots on my sleeve
Em                       C               G
This year the trees fell before the leaves
Em                  C             G
People like me like people like you
Em                        C         G
Cause people like you are far too few
   Am                         C            G
Oh night and daylight had got nothing on you
    Am                              C                         G
And nothing''''s everlasting when your always just passing through
D                   C                    G
ohhh
Em                  C                    G
Em                  C                    G
Em                C                 G
Ear full of music just when I need it
Em                  C                 G
Your soul wont sing unless you bleed it
Em                             C              G
Lookin for answers through the night owl window
Em                    C                       G
Million miles an hour through the wind and snow
Em                   C           G
Spoonful of Sugar in Montreal City
Em                             C            G
Where the leaves are dying and look so pretty
Em                        C          G
Nothing can cure the home sick disease
Em                       C               G
This year the trees fell before the leaves.....(Repeat and fade out)

The picking technique he uses for this song is a little tricky at
first but with a some practice it becomes easier. The G string sort of
acts as the beat because it''''s the string your always hitting at
the same time. It might be easier to learn using your fingers
