In A Sweater Poorly Knit by mewithoutYou
In A Sweater Poorly Knit
[Intro] F#m E x 2
[Verse 1]
F#m E
In a sweater poorly knit, and an unsuspecting smile
E F#m
Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile
F#m E
A fumbling reply -- an awkward, rigid laugh
E F#m
I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft
F#m E
Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between
E (lightly) F#m
sweeter than any wine, and bitter as mustard green
F#m E
Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread
E A
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
[Interlude]
A C#m x 4
[Verse 2]
As you plow some other field and try and forget my name,
see what harvest yields, and, supposing I'd do the same
I planted rows of peas, but by the first week of july –
they should have come up to my knees but they were maybe ankle high
Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns,
and boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars
But now books are overdue and the goats are underfed…
the trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
[Interlude]
A C#m x 4
[Hook]
A C#m
AH! x4
[Verse 3]
You're A door-without-A-key, A field-without-A-fence
You made a holy fool of me, and I've thanked you ever since
If she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken, open seed
If I come without a thing, I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
[Hook]
A C#m
AH! x8
[Outro]
A C#m
I do not exist x3 A C#m x3
A C#m
I do not exist
A C#m
only YOU exist
A C#m
I do not exist
A C#m
I do not exist x3 A C#m x3
A C#m over and over until end.

he basically just tremolo picks the F# and the E on the low e in sync with the guitar 1
changes, but adds the A really quick right before he goes to E.

and fade out on harp part a.
ugh. so the full order is:
intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
outro (harp parts b, a, c, a, b, a)
on the chorus when guitar 1 plays the A, he seems to play it the way i tabbed it, but i
it sounds better with the album version to do the barr variation (577655).
In a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile
Little moses drifts downstream in the Nile
A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh
I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft
Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between
Sweeter than any wine and bitter as mustard greens
Light as dark as honeydew and pumpernickel bread
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
As you plow some other field, try and forget my name
See what harvest yields, and supposing I'd do the same
I planted rows of peas but by the first week of July
They should have come up to my knees
But they were maybe ankle high
Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns
And boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars
And the books are overdue and the goats are underfed
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence
You made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since.
If she comes circling back we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
Or if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed
If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head,
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
I do not exist only you exist
