The EPs and the albums by Beirut are largely the work of Zach Condon, a young Santa Fe, New Mexico native.  Condon has recorded before: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields. Condon was a straight-A student until he dropped out at the age of 17 to travel Europe with his cousin in a drunken haze, cavorting and partying with the locals wherever he ended up.

Beirut est un groupe d'indie rock américain formé par Zach Condon.  En 2006, Beirut sort deux albums sur le label Ba Da Bing : Gulag Orkestar et Lon Gisland, désormais réunis sur une version longue de Gulag Orkestar. Beirut a aussi d'autres morceaux sur l'EP Pompeii, une chanson avec Calexico, et un titre (Venice) sur une compilation du magazine The Believer, et un autre titre sur la compilation Big Change: Songs for FINCA de Natalie Portman intitulé My Night With the Prostitute From Marseille.  

Beirut ist der Name einer US-amerikanischen Band um den Sänger Zachary Francis Condon aus Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ursprünglich ein Soloprojekt Condons formiert sich die Band 2005, um das Debütalbum Gulag Orkestar einzuspielen. Ihre Musik kombiniert Einflüsse des Balkans und Folk mit Elementen westlicher Popmusik und französischer Chansontradition.  Schon im Alter von 15 Jahren nimmt Zach Condon unter dem Namen The Real People ein an The Magnetic Fields orientiertes Album auf (The Joys of Losing Weight)...

Beirut es el nombre bajo el cual el joven músico de 25 años Zach Condon, nacido en Nuevo México, publica sus trabajos artísticos. Su primer álbum oficial bajo el nombre de Beirut fue editado gracias a la colaboración de Jeremy Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel, A Hawk and a Hacksaw) y Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw), en el cual combina elementos y sonidos de la música folk y, especialmente, de la proveniente de la Europa del Este.

My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille

March of the Zapotec & Realpeople: Holland

Intro:  Bbm - Db - Ab -  Ebm

Bbm       Db                Ab
    And I know when time
       Ebm           Bbm
 will pass by slow
             Db
 without my heart
  Ab            Ebm
 what can I do

you're in the halls
 the bell gives way to a larger swell
 without my heart
 what can I do, oh
 wroclai

 and we grow fat
 on the charms of our idle dreary days
 seen the shadows grow
 see an ominous display
 with no alarm
 could we say we'd have expected this way
 under stars have died
 give incent to play
 

Mount Wroclai


D             A        Bm       G
the lights go on, the lights go off 
D        A        Bm          G
when things don't feel right
   D        A       Bm         G 
I lie down like a tired dog
         D          A        Bm     G 
licking his wounds in the shade 

D    A  Bm     G
when I feel alive 
D        A           Bm       G
I try to immagine a careless life
        D           A        Bm       G  
a scenic world where the sunsets are all 
D  A  Bm  G
breathtaking

Scenic World

This is a pretty simple song, but sounds fantastic.

F Am repeat the whole way through.
On the first strum of each note hammer on the G string from open to the second fret.

Before changing chords play:

G|---3-2-0-2---|

As such:

A|---0-0---------------0-----------|
E|---1-1---------------0-----------|
C|---0-0-x3----------1-1-x3--------|
G|-0h2-2---3-2-0-2-0h2-2---3-2-0-2-|


Repeat this for the whole song. Listen to song for strumming patterns.

Lyrics:
The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go

The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
at those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine

Sunday Smile

This song is in 3/4 time
There are a few confusing parts that you can pick up easily if you listen to it in
this song, so I'll start with getting those out of the way.  Okay, when Zach
Condon plays the Em chord to the F chord, he plays a little transition chord
during the last two beats of the second measure when the Em chord is being
played by lifting his middle finger off of the E string and onto the 3rd fret of the A
string.  Don't worry if this is confusing, it'll make sense.  He also switches from F
(4 beats long) to Fadd9 (1 beat long) and back to F (7 beats long).  Here's a tab to
explain more in depth if you don't get what I'm saying.  Keep in mind that the
numbers don't effect the beats and one beat is equal to --.

---|2------|--3----|0------|--0--0--|------|------|---
---|3------|--0----|1------|--1--1--|------|------|---
---|4------|--4----|0------|--0--0--|------|------|---
---|0------|--0----|2------|--0--2--|------|------|---

There is also a chord, C/E this chord looks like this on a tab.

Here's the song now, when the chords are with the words, switch chords when
you're singing the syllable that the chord letter is over.

You'll leave the light, your family may not wait, sir, keep on believing
 
        G                          C             F            C
Our parents rue the day they find us kneeling 
G                                            C             F                      C   
Let them think what they may for they've good reason

G                   C             F             C            (Keep on playing)
Left for the light's always in season

                         Oh-aei  Oh-aei
                                          (Play last C chord for 3 measures and one beat)

Note:  At the end of the song, I find it to sound better if you just strum the A
string and a little of the E string, and at the very last strum, play all of the strings.

Thanks, that's all of it

Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Donde hay numeros en vez de acordes es porque no se
como se llaman esos acordes y pongo abajo como se hacen




F9/A Cm
Ya no sé donde fue,
F9/A C
con su luz tu verdad,
F9/A Cm
avanzar y no avanzar,
1 G
que loco remolino,

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves . . .

la maldad que hay allí . . .

solo estás en tu cruz,

oh déjame explorarte,
F4 C
solo extiéndete una vez más . . .
F4 C
extiéndete una vez más . . .

la canción de la sed,

como el agua se nos fue . . .

líbrame . . .

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y olvidarse y no fumar . . .

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

exiténdete una vez más . . .

extiendete una vez más

extiendete una vez más

Nota: C B y
Am 2
eres mi esperanza
Am 3
solo una grieta en mi existir . . .
4
no somos solo hombres
5 6 7
y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus
