While we're all in the mood, here's the tab for Ultra Mundane. Nothing special, but a fun little piece with an accessible solo at the end that I can actually play...

Em7
Come the ultra mundane of another life
C Em7
You know it by the trail of the nervousness
F G
Your memories compress, your senses are sly
C Em
And portions of your shadowiness on,
G A
on your everyday nights
G
Into northern lights
A
Pour it all at their service
C A

Chorus
Start beginning by beginning
D C
It's time, it's time, it's time
G
A new tradition, a new beginning
D C
It's time, it's time, it's time

Verse
It's time to make it inside with a wristband, alright
To see Etobicoke coyotes
To get pretend scars, to see like a pair
To feel as welcome as a sneeze in a motorcycle helmet
Feel the ultra mundane of another life
A poet in the service
Chorus
Start beginning, new traditions
It's time, it's time, it's time
The demolition is beginning
It's time, it's time, it's time
They're underpinning the tradition
It's time, it's time, it's time
No perdition in the beginning
It's time, it's time
Interlude
But there's no time to ask, "Hey, whatcha building? Another ocean?"
G
You looked at me like I was eating runny eggs in slow motion
C
Maybe, maybe I saw you soften, baby
G

...etc... just play around in that scale,
When your angst had me over your shoulder
D C
Your beleaguered old lady
G
Start beginning, a new tradition
It's time, it's time, it's time
No tradition of dereliction
It's time, it's time, it's time
No conditions, no sedition
It's time, it's time, it's time
A new beginning, a new tradition
And at the end I'll burn so unkind
You might ask, "Hey, whatcha building? Another ocean? Another ocean?"
