Andrew Bird – Measuring Cups chords
Chords:
Andrew Bird - Measuring Cups Standard Tuning Having navigated your way through this entire land witch is ultimateguitar to the very outskirts where gems like Andrew Bird lie, I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a great song this is. However, I feel the need to leave an obligatory note with these chords stating that fact: "This is a sensational song, it's like someone took that warm apple pie your mother used to make, filled it with rainbows and somehow condensed the result into audible pleasure!" Sorry to delay your playing of this song to state the obvious, and sorry once again for delaying it further by acknowledging the delay. And without further delay... here's that song! (Well at least here's a series of letters of numbers that reflect particular wavelengths of light that travel to your eyes and are neurologically transmitted to you brain which interprets the meaning and then resultantly sends out potential differences along synapses to the relevant muscles in order for the right frequencies to be produced by both instruments and voice and so the air will vibrate at these frequencies and travel to our ears oscillating the thin membrane of the eardrum sending signals back to our brain which we interpret as the song...) I'm sorry, i'm so highfalutin...
