Artist:   The Refreshments
Song:   Fonder and Blonder

* Note below that when the Bm is played, it should be alternated between
strums with a Bm7 (just lift the ol' middle finger off the B string if
you're playing the standard barre chord Bm).

Intro:

D Bm/Bm7* G Em G A (this is also the main progression throughout the song)

The monuments and maps

Bm/Bm7
The skylines and the tourist traps

GG Piano Chord 
                 EmEm Piano Chord

Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

DD Piano Chord 

Cars break down

Bm/Bm7
And people break down and

GG Piano Chord 
                      AA Piano Chord 

other things break down too

EmEm Piano Chord 

I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip

               DD Piano Chord 

And don't do a damn to help me feel O.K.

GG Piano Chord 
                              DD Piano Chord 

And all the breath of me here from you and that would be very nice
