Behind the name The Tallest Man On Earth is Kristian Matsson (born April 30th, 1983 in Dalarna, Sweden). He plays guitar, banjo and piano and has released two full length albums, the first entitled Shallow Grave and the second entitled The Wild Hunt.  He has also released a self-titled 5-track EP on the Swedish label gravitation, as well as a second 5-track EP entitled Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird, recently released on Dead Oceans.  

Kristian Matsson, a.k.a The Tallest Man on Earth, si son patronyme semble pour le moins usurpé, le suédois a tout de même de sérieux atouts à faire valoir dans le domaine de la musique. Il est présenté, comme beaucoup avant lui, comme le nouveau et énième rejeton de Bob Dylan. C

Kristian Matsson, auch bekannt als der Frontsänger der schwedischen Band Montezumas  begann sein Soloprojekt im Jahre 2000. Bisher hat er zwei EPs (The Tallest Man On Earth EP, 2007 und Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird, 2010), sowie zwei Alben (Shallow Grave, 2008 und The Wild Hunt, 2010) veröffentlicht.

Puede que las influencias le delaten y que tanto el clasicismo de su propuesta como el tono de voz con el que ataca sus composiciones obliguen a pensar en una reencarnación nórdica de Bob Dylan, aún así, si algo ha conseguido el sueco Kristian Matsson es esquivar el siempre odioso juego de las comparaciones para irrumpir con autoridad en el folk contemporáneo. Voz, guitarra y banjo son las únicas herramientas que necesita The Tallest Man On Earth para moldear un puñado de sonidos emocionantes y desgarrados que...

A Lions Heart

F
I never knew I was a lover,
Dm
Just cause I steal the things you hide,
Bbmaj7
Just cause I focus while we're dancing,
Gmadd11 F
Just cause I offered you a ride.
F
Still I am not from Barcelona,
Dm
I am not even from Madrid.
Bbmaj7
I am a native of the North folk
Gmadd11 F
And that can mess up any kid.
# CHORUS
Gmadd11 Bbmaj7
Well if you could reinvent my name,
Gmadd11 Bbmaj7
Well if you could redirect my day,
Bb Gmadd11 F
I want to be the King of Spain.

# VERSE 2
F
And I will settle in Pamplona
Dm
And I'll provoke the bulls with words
Bbmaj7
And then I'll send a man to meet them all
Gmadd11 F
Blood is fake so I have heard.
F
And all the senoritas sighing,
Dm
Will be the fountain of my lies.
Bbmaj7
But while we're floating in siestas
Gmadd11 F
You search for bottles and for knives.
CHORUS
INTRO
VERSE 3
F
And I wear my boots of Spanish leather
Dm
Oh while I'm tightening my crown.
Bbmaj7
I'll disappear in some flamenco
Gmadd11 F
Perhaps I'll reach the other side.
F
Why are you stabbing my illusion?
Dm
Just cause I stole some eagle's wings
Bbmaj7
Because you named me as your lover
Gmadd11 F
Well, I thought I could be anythin

King Of Spain

Intro: C F Gsus G

   C                                     F           Gsus  G
Oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire

  C                                   F        Gsus G
Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk

          Am         F            Gsus
Where the promise to lead what is right

      Am            F                Gsus   G
As we both know how fields will turn white

         C                       
And know I will never speak of days

        F             Gsus        G
Cause I know you wont count them.


   C                                  F         Gsus    G
No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared

          Am          F             Gsus
And we're walking our crooked path home

            Am      F               Gsus   G
But will we ever confess what we've done?

N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run.

INTRO

       C                              F             Gsus   G
And no we will never be a part of the pictures once taken

           C                                   F        Gsus  G
When we're feeding fire with the flames til no memories gone

        Am            F          Gsus
And the cold sky will write us a song

         Am         F               Gsus   G
But will we ever confess what we've done?

N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run

INTRO

        Dm                   Gsus
And the reflections in their eyes

E7                     Am
Sure could paint us as killers

    C       Gsus    G
Oh, I'll be there.

Dm                        Gsus
And til the terror of our time

E7                Am
Could forgive us as lovers
         C          Gsus     G     Gsus   G
Oh, lets break some hearts....

       C                                   F             Gsus
And no i will never speak of ways 'cause i know you wont try them

            C                                    F       Gsus    G
But all the weapons raining from the sky will be ours to embrace

        Am            F          Gsus
And the cold sky will write us a song

            Am      F               Gsus   G
But will we ever confess what we've done

N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run.

Kids On The Run

The Wild Hunt

The song is originally in open D tuning, capoed on 6. My version is in standard tuning, in the key of C (as if it were capoed on 11). It should be fairly easy to transpose into the key you'd like from here.

So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe



I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return

I know the spy is going to tell you 
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies 
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call

I know the leak is going to tell you 
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses 
So I could stay the king you see

So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine 
I find it soothing I'm afraid

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you 
That I'm a gardner I'm a man 
In your eyes babe
In your eyes babe

oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
