  		'Echoes Myron' by Guided by Voices
  		   from the album 'Bee Thousand'
   
     The guitars are tuned a little sharp on this one, but not enough
     to use a capo. Twist your pegs up until that opening G 
     sounds right.
     
     This is how my aged ears heard the song, but I'm not totally
     confident about the chords at the end...sometimes its hard to
     hear through that lo-fi production...corrections are welcomed.

                     Chords

    (intro: G - Bm/F# - B - C - G - Bm/F# - B - C) 

    G   Bm/F#  B     C        G  Bm/F#   B   C
   tower to    the skies   an academy    of lies
        Bm       Em        A         D
   and what goes up surely must come down
          Bm              Em               A            D
   and we felt the mighty blow up with the walls coming down
      E                  C  D
   or something like that
   G       Bm/F#  B          C        G  Bm/F#   B       C
   most of us     are quite pleased   with the  same old song
      Bm        Em           A        D
   and all of a sudden I'm relatively sane
        Bm            Em         A          D
   with everything to lose  and nothing to gain
        G
   or something like that
    Bm      E         Bm      A
   man of wisdom  and man of compromise
    Bm      G              C       D
   man of weak flesh in an armored disguise

   all fall down

   G - Bm/F# - B - C (play this progression 4x)

          C              G            Em
   if its right you can tell   echoes myron like a siren
         F                         G
   with endurance like the liberty bell
          Em
   and he tells you of the dreamers
            F
   but he's cracked up like the road
            Em                             C
   and he'd like to lift us up but we're a very heavy load
             G         Em                 C    Bm  C
   and we're finally here   and shit yeah its cool
              G      Em                 C   Bm   C
   and shouldn't it be    or something like that
