Reforming for the sub pop anniversary show this summer. pity it's a one-off and in washington (difficult from ireland when i can barely get a day off!). hopefully, a european tour is on the agenda after as these guys were/are amazing
Beachwood Sparks - best short-lived band of all time? Together, they could do no wrong, but apart, the Tyde and All-Night Radio just don't measure up. Once We Were Trees - best album of the 2000s!!! Get back together, guys! Thanks for posting this and bringing me back...
Dude I bought "Once We Were Trees" a few years back and just had my mind blown! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Being a huge collector of '60s rock bands like Buffalo Springfield, etc., Beachwood Sparks knocked me out!
Is that the drummer clappin' alone in the grass? lol

The guy in the second left looks a lot like David Gilmour!

does anyone know what chords they are using here besides A and D?
mclarke83 2 years ago
Hopefully this formats okay.
The verse is A D A E A E F#m E.
The chorus is A F#m D A (sequence played 4 times).
"Do do doo" - E D A
"Sha la la la" - F#m A, then the solo is played over the verse chords.
Then the key changes... The chorus becomes C Am F C and the next part is C G and F.
They play the "Sha la la la" section again and they're done.
One thing to note about this version: it's played half a step down from the album, so detune your guitar if you want to play along with this video.

You don't have the chords to any other Beachwood Sparks songs, do you?
