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.

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.

            Em            F                 G                         C             F                   C
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

                                          (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

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

          F                      Am           Bb           C

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone
C#m          E       B    A 
I'm going away to be alone ...............

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A

We don't even know why, no no

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
