The other version of these chords sounded off so this is how I play it which I think is
accurate. kylemoning@gmail.com
Intro
A--- C#m--- D--- Dm--- x2
Hold last Dm
Verse 1
No chords
Hello city, hey
A C#m D Dm
AnotherA night at the Palace, 'cause there is nothing else to do.
Oh-C#mwoah, ah-hDah Dm
A C#m D
The same people, Athe same drinks and the same music, the same quicksand
C#m D Dm (stop short)
I think this harbour town is waist deep and sinking fast.
Chorus (same chords as verse)
Hello city, you've found an enemy in me. Woah-oh, woah-oh [Andy Scatting]
Hello city, (Hello city). Hello city, hey
Verse 2 (Same chords)
Second night at the Warehouse, and my mock turtleneck just reeks. Woah-oh, woah-oh
From the liquor room up to the changeroom
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room,
I wish this seaside beerhall would sink into the bay.
Chorus
Bridge (this part doesn't use much guitar-- mostly bass, but this is how I emulate it)
Maybe IBm caught you at a bad time, (C#mwat'up)
Maybe I should Bmcall you back nextC#m week, (wat'up)
maybe Bmhalf the fault is mine that (wat'up) the C#msun didn't shine on
BmBarrington Street.
Verse 3 (back to same progression)
It's three o'clock in the morning, and I'm hungry so let's eat. Woah-oh, woah-oh.
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
and the barfights, we're just taking in the sights.
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed.
(Hold Dm for bass solo and then back to chorus)
Chorus
End
What a good place to Abe, Don't bC#melieve them,
'Cause they sDpeak a different language, and it's neDmver been happy for me.
(Continue the A C#m D Dm progression
It's happy hour again
Woah-oh, woah-oh - It's happy hour again
Woah-oh, woah-oh - Hello city, hey
Dm---- A
Woah-oh, woah-oh - Hello city - hey
Drag out Dm on last Hello City, end on A with 'hey'
