The Minnow and The Trout by Fine Frenzy


I came across this via Abby's cover (she has a nice collection of songs she covers that I haven't heard...), found the chords and tried it today. Easy... Just ONE barre chord (Gm).

Progress: I'm finding I like songs with just one barre. Put focus on that one "fancy" thing and the rest is smooth sailing. I'm successful now on the 4 main barre's sometimes atempo, but usually a lag.

the hummingbird
       A
taking coffee with the ants, and I said


D                         G
please, I know that we’re different
            D                          G
but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    D    A     G           D   A   G
and what we’re made of was all the same once
      D   A    G               D
we’re not that different after all

     D              A
I’ve fallen from my nest so high above
    D                 A
oh, help me fly, I am too afraid to try
    Em
now saddled with a fear of heights
    A
I’m praying you can set me right
G            D
oh, not your everyday circumstance
    G
the elephant
        A
sharing peanuts with the rats, and I said


D                         G

            D                          G
but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning

wide-connected like a family

we are tied in history,
D                     Gm   A    Gm   A
wide-connected like a family, a family...

   D                         G
so please, I know that we’re different
            D                          G
but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    D    A     G           D   A   G
