Hey, I saw the chords for this song were incomplete, and I wanted to learn to play this
so I did it myself...the chords are 98% correct I?d say, towards the end I had a little
not the best at tabbing songs, but verse/chorus chords are perfect. Enjoy. -L. Martin
Bright Eyes - "A Celebration Upon Completion" standard tuning
Intro is basis of the song?s finger picking style....
C C/B G6 C (2x)
In between the chords C and C/B, and C/B and G6, there is a 3-1-0/1 figure on the B
that you should note should you want to play the song like Conor does on the album. I
have the time or knowledge on how to tab it, but I can definitely play it myself, sorry
I can?t help you there. Use your pinky hit the B string, 3rd fret while playing C and
chords, andafter a while , it should come along. Good Luck. Great song, by the way. thnx.

my grandfather's name was moon
C/B
because his eyes were bright and round
G6C
and no amount of time or liquor could dull them
my grandmother's name was joy
C/B
because it spilled out of her heart
G6C
and bathed her precious children in its warmth
C/B
and there was happiness in life beyond the sorrow and the pain
G6C
but how they ever found it i cannot explain
FG
i guess time has a way of making everything alright

and hope that it will last

C
my grandfather was a doctor
C/B
he cured the sick with his kind hands
G6C
and he taught me how to sail and how to find dry land
my grandmother was all sweetness
C/B
and when she spoke we all heard bells
G6C
and they rang in such a way that we were comforted
C/B
and they held on to each other with all of the strength they had
G6C
and they loved with devotion be-yond what i understand
FG
but i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable
AmC
and the days seem cold and long
F
but we?ll cry and we dance

C (hit x32013 2 or
