I Was A Kaleidoscope

Tabbed by: Austin Formica

Tuning:Standard

The version I Tabbed was just Ben Gibbard playing acoustic guitar.
The Tab is not exactly what ben Plays but sounds good anyway.

Email me if you have questions or corrections.

I put on my overcoat and walked into the winter
My teeth chattered rhythms.
And they were grouped in twos and threes,
like a morse code message was sent from me to me.
and cars on slippery slopes were stuck:
people pushing through their mittens
as I was beginning
to feel like soaking through my shoes,
getting colder with every step
I took to your apartment, dear.
