standard tuning, sounds good with barre chords.
strumming patterns are easier to figure out if you listen to the
Intro: C-F  
GroCwing sleepy as the rFain falls
As chiCldren draped in flowers form a chFain
They sCing a song with jelly jars and biFrd calls
As niCght falls into dust and it's dFay again
I'm nCot afraid of a love parade in my dFaydream
OCld men with kazoos and beating drFums
But CI awake and I see the streets are icFe cream
It's just yCou and me and oh deFar, our life has just begun
C-Bb-C-Bb-F  
CHORUS
--------------------------------------------
C-Bb-C-Bb-F  
Everything is beautiful here
C-Bb-C-Bb-F  
It's spinning circles around my ears
C-Bb-C-Bb-F  
I'm finally breaking free from fear
F(muted) F  
And it's fading
--------------------------------------------
Oh beautiful smiles, won't you stay awChile
We could close the Fdoor and sleep all dCay
It's a September sFky with pretty pictures in my mCind
That's lost its feFeling of so afrCaid
then F to C for a while, end on C.

The story behind the song

"Everything Is" offers a glimpse into the early, "embryonic" sound of Neutral Milk Hotel, showcasing the distinctive style that would come to define the band. As one of Jeff Mangum's home recording projects, it embodies the deliberately low-quality sound and surreal, opaque lyrics that explore themes of love, spirituality, and loneliness. The song's instrumentation, like much of the band's work, blends traditional and non-traditional elements. Playing this song can feel like stepping into a raw, unfiltered expression of emotion and an unconventional sonic landscape.
