Built to Spill- Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss-
Transcribed by John Crowell
It's best to play this song with open chords and kinda bluegrass style
It's in standard tuning
e------0---------------0-----|
B------1---------------2-----|
G------0---------------2-----|
D------2---------------2-----|
A—3--------------0-----------|
E----------------------------|
Like so
And when I say F*, I mean F like, instead of the barre chord
like is used in the verse.

So here it goes
Intro- C
I know you're making accidents and stars for everyone
you're amazing half of them won't know until you're gone
and in this ritual you take command and lose control
and in this situation find an ocean, sell your soul
*
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
and when it's over set aside a moment to forget
it's now or never now's the chance to choose what you'll regret
to taking all your time and leaving me with more than I want
because I know this time absolutely, positively
may...maybe
may...maybe
may...maybe
may
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss

F* C
and all the signs of your life
F* C
you're making all time alright
F* C
and all the lines of your life
F* C
you make it fine
and when it's later open up your window just in case
you're a radar built to scan the deeps of outer space
and if you recognize subtle patterns in the sky
don't take it as a sign unless it eases your mind
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C
fly around my pretty little miss
why don't you
F* C- let it ring out baby!
fly around my pretty little miss
All in all, a pretty perfect pop song.
Have a great day!
