My small sad contribution

I couldn't find chords for "If it's the Beaches" but I finally found a good enough youtube video that I could watch and figure it out. This took me about ten times as long as it would've taken somebody who actually knows something about music. In any case, here it is--it's not perfect but it's a workable start, especially the timing for matching chords to lyrics. it's such a beautiful song; I wish I weren't a butcher.

"If it's the Beaches"
The Avett Brothers
[Capo 5]

Intro:
C Am F C

V1
Don't say it's [C]over
Cause that's the [Am]worst news I could [F]hear I swear that [C]I will
Do my [Am]best to be here [F]just the way you [C]like it
Even [Am]though its hard to [F]hide
Push my [C]feelings all a[F]side
I will [C]rearrange my [F]plans and change for [C]you

V2
If I could [C]go back
That's the [Am]first thing I would [F]do I swear that [C]I would
Do my [Am]best to follow [F]through
Come up [C]with a master plan
A homerun [C]hit, a winning [C]stand
A guaran[C]tee and not a [F]promise
That I'll [C]never let your [F]love slip from my [C]hands

Bridge thingie
C
Am G F E
Am G F E (2x)

If it's the [C]beaches
If it's the [Am]beaches' sands you [F]want
Then you will [C]have them
If it's the [Am]mountains' bending [F]rivers
Then you will [C]have them
If it's the [Am]wish to run a[F]way
Then I will [C]grant it
Take what[Am]ever you think [F]of
While I [C]go gas up the [F]truck
Pack the [C]old love letters ]F]up
We will [C]read them when we [F]forget why we ]C]left here

It's sort of exciting (and relatively rare) for me to find three different frames that I like. Now the hard part is narrowing it down to one. After having asked a couple of the staff at the eye doctor's, my roommate, and Stephanie, an early leader is emerging. But I'm open to other feedback..... Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Comments?

citizens arrest

What are the rules for citizens arrest? Specifically, if there's a girl talking on her cell phone, with half her car windows frosted over, who doesn't wait her turn at the four-way, would I get in trouble if I pulled her out of her car and slapped her with her phone a couple of times? I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally. It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

So I'm now going to post a bit about the DEMOLITION DERBY, which actually happened the weekend before my trip out here to CA. Backing up even further: in the few days leading up to the DEMOLITION DERBY, it rained pretty heavily, even producing a bit of flooding. This was bad news for the derby: the cars had a tough, tough time getting much traction in 10 inches of mud. The result: a not very demolishing derby. Slo-mo derby. Cars that were disqualified not because they were intentionally trying to stay out of the action but because they were axle-deep in mud and couldn't make a hit. Lame-oh: nowhere near the fun of DEMOLITION DERBY 2005. I had promised several people that DERBY '07 would be barrels of fun. Instead, we left early. Here's a pic that Kaijsa took of the contestants, though: Annalee said she didn't make it to the derby because of the big rains in the days leading up to the derby. The current of run-off was strong enough, as she was driving home, to rip of
