Sufjan Stevens - Dumb I Sound

      A simple, but beautiful Sufjan Stevens song. The entire song revolves around a repeated piano line tabbed
below. This line is really just a changing bass note played under the root and third of a Bb chord, so it's a
very easy song to improvise a little in. Additionally, I added a transcrition of the piano line down an octave
if the higher one doesn't work well with your arrangement. 

The recorders that join the song in the chorus are just descending down a Bb major scale (with some
embellisments) until they reach D, and then starting over again. 

Enjoy!

[Intro]
Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C  (x4)

[Verse 1]
Bb/D         Bb/F      Bb/C
 Something's suddenly unclear
Bb/D       Bb/F       Bb/C
 Someone's suddenly my fear
Bb/D       Bb/F             Bb/C     
 My eyes demand like broken eaves
Bb/D       Bb/F         Bb/C
 The ladel overspills on eaves

[Chorus]
     Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C
If you
       Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C
Once knew
     Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C
How I
       Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C
Loved you

[Verse 2]
Bb/D    Bb/F            Bb/C
 And my bruise-colored eyes peel
Bb/D   Bb/F           Bb/C
 Every image to your face and heel
Bb/D           Bb/F      Bb/C
 And if you're happy I am too
Bb/D           Bb/F          Bb/F
 And if you're sleeping, I'm with you

[Chorus] (x2)
     Bb/D  Bb/F  Bb/C
But you           love someone else
     Bb/D  Bb/F     Bb/C
But you      want to be with someone else
    Bb/D  Bb/F     Bb/C
And I       can't believe how dumb I sound
    Bb/D  Bb/F          Bb/C
And I       will put my face over the ground

[Outro] (x6)
      Bb/D  Bb/F     Bb/C
And love you    and love you
