This is from ear, and from what he seems to play live. For acoustic, try a B on the 7th fret
for Gardenhead, keeping everything with an E-barre shape, until the B for Leave Me Alone, 
he plays on the 2nd fret with an A-barre shape.
[Verse 1]
BThere are beads that wrap
BAround your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a wF#alk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize Ayou're Bdead
this time
We ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiAral dF#own to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave beEhind
It gets hard to expBlain
The gardenF#head knows my EnaaaaaaaaaaaaBaaaaaaEaaaaaaaaEaame
[Verse 2]
BLeave me alone,
for you know this isn't the Efirst time
infact this is twice in a Brow
That the angels did slip through our lEandslide
and filled up our garden with Bsnow
and I don't wish the taste of your Einsides
or to call out your name through my Bphone
for the glory boys at your Ebedside
will love you as long as your something tBo ooooooown
Ewill love you as long as your something tBo own
BFollow me through a city of frost covered Eangels
I swear I have nothing to Bprove
I just want to dance in your tanglesE  
To give me some reason to Bmove
But to take on the world at all Eangles
Requires a strength I can't Buse
So I'll meet you up high in your Eanger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for Byou
Of all that is hoping and waiting for Eyou

The story behind the song

Neutral Milk Hotel, led by Jeff Mangum, crafted a sound that blended indie rock with psychedelic folk, often characterized by its deliberately low-fidelity feel. Mangum's lyrics were known for being surreal and often opaque, delving into themes of love, spirituality, nostalgia, sex, and loneliness. The band's recordings frequently incorporated a diverse array of instruments, including some non-traditional ones. Playing this song can feel like stepping into a deeply personal and introspective soundscape.

Chords in this song · guitar

This is from ear, and from what he seems to play live. For acoustic, try a B on the 7th fret

for Gardenhead, keeping everything with an E-barre shape, until the B for Leave Me Alone,

he plays on the 2nd fret with an A-barre shape.

[Verse 1]

There are beads that wrap

Around your knees that crackle into the dark

Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head

A B

Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead

this time

We ride roller coasters into the ocean

A F#

We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world

And I guess it's worth your time

Because there's some lives you live

And some you leave behind

It gets hard to explain

F# E B E E

The gardenhead knows my naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

[Verse 2]

Leave me alone,

for you know this isn't the first time

infact this is twice in a row

That the angels did slip through our landslide

and filled up our garden with snow

and I don't wish the taste of your insides

or to call out your name through my phone

for the glory boys at your bedside

will love you as long as your something to ooooooown

E B

will love you as long as your something to own

B E

Follow me through a city of frost covered angels

I swear I have nothing to prove

I just want to dance in your tangles

To give me some reason to move

But to take on the world at all angles

Requires a strength I can't use

So I'll meet you up high in your anger

Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
