Song:The Weather
Artist:Built to Spill
Album:Ancient Melodies of the Future
This is a nice, easy song to play.There were a few parts I changed
a little bit.In the chorus I added the broken chords (it sounded
better when playing without the cd), and I shortened the outro
because it repeated a lot.All I did was write each part once or
twice instead of however many times it was on the cd.I also added
the last few notes to give a little bit of finality, it kinda fades
out on the cd. This song sounds best played on an acoustic and
without a pick.

Do you want it to be outside in the cool night? Where the stars

gravitate toward you. Do you want it to be outside in the cool

to be outside in the sunshine? Where the clouds take their places
