Davis" Subject: [s-r] Polaroids The SOTW, Polaroids, is also probably my favorite Shawn song. I took a copy of it into my guitar teacher to write out for me but was less than convinced he had the chords down accurately. Has anyone ever come up with a (fairly simple) way to play this song? If so, I'd love to know how. i.e. could some knowledgeable guitar player post or email me their transcription of Polaroids; preferably in tab form. Thanks.

Subject: Re: [s-r] SOTW-- Polaroids Listers - I especially like the last two verses of this song. Here's my take on the last six lines: > But he just took polaroids > Of her smile in the light > Of the dawn of the menacing sky > And before they went overbaord > She turned and held up a card > And it said Valentine Polaroids have permanence because they are pictures, but they also have an impermanence because there's only one print, you can't make more than one print of a polaroid. It's as if he wants to keep a memory of her, but doesn't want to say so out loud. She answers with a disguised admission of her own. Notice how she pronounces "up" almost like "out" on the album? She's holding out a Valentine's day card to him. Wish I understood that dawn image. The dawning of some realization, maybe?
