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

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

for you.
