A simple song with only four chords

I strum this song lightly with the meat of my thumb. I also believe Phil only downstrokes on the recording

I play these chords by fretting the D string with my pinky, the G string with my middle finger, the low E with
my ring finger and the A string with my index. Only lifting the latter two during the whole song

They have more complex names but I'm going to identify them by their root note.

I think it's easiest to learn how to play this song if you only think about where the chord with G goes,
listening to the song will help you get the rhythm

The song resolves on this chord strummed only once

[verse]


Moon, I alread

y know
              
I'm small on t

   
he ground
              
I roll around 

              
and feel menac

         
ing mountains

And all depths of sorrow dwarf me
             
All towering t

              
errors of mine

              
 to cower belo

I know, I know
         
I know already

          
So don't look 

at me like tha

And then duck 

       
behind clouds
              
I know I'm sma

              
ll and that I 

          
have no idea

I know, I know, I know

    
Let me be dumb

 again
              
Let food drip 

        
off my chin

Let me think you're a light
              
Please, please

             
 let me sleep 

              
through the ni

Unknowing
