wow, this is so great!
the chords on “guyamas sonora” aren’t all correct, though. the Am should be replaced with a C.
thanks!

I think you’re mixing up two things there. The second bit was me taking the piss.

But, Beirut are pretentious. It’s what I think, if it’s cutting my nose off to say it, so be it.

Not really sure, I just picked the accordion up yesterday. 120 buttons is just too many eh? It sounds like a minor chord there instead of G.

I think you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face when you call Beirut a pretentious con by money hungry record producers.

Unless you’re taking this piss there.

It sounds right to me. What do you think the chords are?

Cherbourg doesn’t seem right… I was playing it on my accordion, and it didn’t match up.

Hi Sam. I'll work them out sometime. I'm a bit burned out on Beirut for the moment. You could try cycling through the chord inversions on sheep entertainment and see what takes your fancy.

Speaking of ‘A Sunday Smile’ – I dunno if you’ve seen the performance of it on Jools Holland, the ukulele part sounds quite pretty – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAir96N3iOs

Whoo, thanks for these. But I was wondering, do you know what inversions they used for ‘A Sunday Smile’ on flyingclubcup.com? I mean, like what fingers go where (if that makes sense…)
