[southofmontana]

The Man is soooooo badass!

[phatape56]

DAMN!!! Bonnaroo 2011, Can't wait to see em !

[davidagainstthewall]

isn't it called a "cat piano"? (:

[vincegaga]

why are they called portugal the man, anyone knows??

[THESEX1111]

hahaha i dont think anyone know why theyre called portugal the man but theyre still amazing

[LogicalRope]

You're supposed to think of Portugal, a whole country, as one entity, a man. That way you imagine the sound as one sound, rather than the individual instruments. It brings focus away from individual talent to the band itself. It's a phenomenal name if you ask me.

[bodyboarder3452]

@LogicalRope well i don't get why they chose portugal, weird lol

[muffintops94]

@LogicalRope damn dude. i never thought of it that way. you must be baked as fuck

[JorshWarshington]

@LogicalRope

Unless the singer is from Portugal...it's a shitty name. I can't blow myself either, so get over it.

[fcpremix219]

@JorshWarshington what the hell is your problem? fuck you

[JorshWarshington]

@fcpremix219

Don't take away from the music by defining something as trivial as a band name. Since the name blows, I hereby exempt myself from my two comments thus far.

[fcpremix219]

@JorshWarshington why do you care so much about the band name? do you even know the meaning of it? it's a pretty cool concept if you know what the hell it stands for. 

[bodyboarder3452]

@vincegaga that's what im wondering too... o_o

[shoulderkolibri]

i love it when people complain about instruments needing to be tuned everytime they go listen to live music.. Just shows you how they're just a bunch of fuckin' posers. Be a good audience and just appreciate the music for all's sakes.

[Jessishobo07]

I love the piano... but god they need to tune that thing..... lol Great Acoustic Look

[SeanithanEgan]

I think it might be a glokenspiel so it's actually like a xylophone inside the little box, can't be tuned.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's whats up.

[failuresnotflat]

@SeanithanEgan toy piano

[SeanithanEgan]

@failuresnotflat What kinda response is that?

[failuresnotflat]

@SeanithanEgan whats your confusion, its a toy piano not a glok

[SeanithanEgan]

@failuresnotflat Well would you agree that it's a toy piano which has metal plates similar to a glok - and thus it cannot be tuned? That's what I was getting at.

[brightneighborTV]

The drummer was in my Portland band, and the drummer for Builders and the Butchers was our guitarist.

Small town, Portland.

[shadrussell]

Paul was your guitarist? Or was it Brandon? I love that band - as well as Portugal. Ryan (Neighbors) is a buddy of mine, but I have to admit - I'm totally green with envy of the things these guys are lucky enough to be a part of.

[peniche311]

Awesome music

[iwazused]

portugal the man should use piano flutes.

[snortjeff631]

wow this is fuckin awesome..love the lil piano..lol

[quadhome]

There's a transition chord between the repeat on the C -> Am. (E7?) (Some were reborn) / Outro: Am (release E), Dm (release A), G (release B), C (release E), (E7?) (Now pick up and pack up): Am, Dm, G (We Take From The Air): Am, E, F, C, (E7?) (Bridge): Am, E, F, E (release E) (We'll be reborn): Am, G, Dm

[reach42]

the chords are Am, Dm, G, C in the intro and for most of the beginning.

It then switches to Am, Dm, G, Am later. (around 1:50)

And then in the chorus it's Am, E, F, C, C/B (2:36 -ish)

Am, E, FFFFFF around #:14

Am, E, FFFFFF, E (3:29 ish)

Afterwords it switches up to Am, G, Dm, Am (during the quiet part 3:40) throughout the toypiano solo.

then it goes back to the chorus of Am, E, F, C, C/B

That's how it goes for the rest of the song.

[quadhome]

Sorry, that chord response was to you. :-)

[reach42]

check out the video response I have here. I went with the chords I've got down there and I think it came out pretty well.

[tylertheman1000]

does anybody know a tab for this? Portugal. The Man kick ass!

[dantheman07]

[APerfectTool]
