Eating Styes From Elephants Eyes
The Shins
I worked this out by listening to the song from Nature Bears a Vacuum and listening to an old concert by The Shins circa 2002. The lyrics are just taken from the internet with a couple of my own ideas thrown in. This song should be played with barre chords using F# run up should be played with open chords certainly sounds like that’s how it’s done! I hope this helps. They want trash they want you batting a lash I’ll eat styes from elephants’ eyes They’re in touch with their inner crutch They wont stab but they’ll grab And that’s just like the other We get news and we drown it in booze We take lives from elephants’ eyes They’re in bed with the crowd eating lead It wont stop if you shop With the lovers of bloodshed I went to school and saw slides Of where I’m meant to be Where I’m meant to be Were I’m meant to be We need time like a kid eating limes We’re in town when bees are let out We get laughs through an osmotic patch We’re attached to the past ’Cause our future’s a bleak one I went to school and saw slides Of where I’m meant to be I’m meant to be (Repeat the I’m meant to be line) then end with E F# x 3 End on B
