This song is off of Elbow's sixth album "The Take Off and Landing Of Everything". The chord sequence repeats throughout the whole song but the timing can be a bit tricky. Try and learn the barre chords for this as I think it sounds a lot better but if you're not confident then you can use the open chords. Chords: Barre Open (easier) EADGBe EADGBe B- 799877 x24442 A6- 57x675 x02222 Amaj7 5x665x x02120 Eadd9- 022102 022102 INTRO: B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 VERSE 1:
BThe first to put a simple truth in A6words Binds the Bworld in a feeling all familEadd9iar
'Cause Amaj7everybody owns the great iBdeas And it fA6eels like there's a big one round the cEadd9orner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
AnBtenna up and out into New A6York SomeBwhere in all that talk is all the anEadd9swers
And Amaj7oh, my giddy aunt, New York can tBalk It's the A6modern Rome where folk are nice to Eadd9Yoko
VERSE 2:
BEvery bone of rivet steel Each A6corner stone and angle
Jenga Bjut and rusted water tower Eadd9Pillar post and sign
Every Amaj7painted line and battered ladderB building in this town Sings a A6life of proud endeavour and the Eadd9best that man can be
VERSE 3:
BMe I see a city and I hA6ear a million voices Planning, dBrilling, welding, carrying their Eadd9fingers to the nub
Reaching Amaj7down into the ground Stretching Bup into the sky
Why?
BeA6cause they can
They did and do
So Eadd9you and I could live together B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 B
CHORUS:
Oh my god, New York can A6talk SomeBwhere in all that talk is all the aEadd9nswers
Amaj7Everybody owns the great iBdeas And it fA6eels like there's a big one round the cEadd9orner
B Oh my god, New York can A6talk SomeBwhere in all that talk is all the aEadd9nswers
Amaj7Everybody owns the great's iBdeas And it A6feels like there's a big one round the Eadd9corner
B Oh my god, New York can A6talk SomeBwhere in all that talk is all the ansEadd9wers
Amaj7Everybody owns the great's iBdeas And it A6feels like there's a big one round the cEadd9orner
The Bdesire in the patchwork A6symphony The dBesire like a distant Eadd9storm
For Amaj7love Did it Bcome from me
'Cause it A6feels like there's a big one round the Eadd9corner B Oh my god, New York can tA6alk
SomeBwhere in all that talk is all the anEadd9swers Amaj7Everybody owns the great iBdeas
And it fA6eels like there's a big one round the cEadd9orner OUTRO:
B The way the dayA6 begins B Decides the shade of eEadd9verything
Amaj7 But the way it ends depends on if you're Bhome For A6every soul a pillow and a Eadd9window, please
In the mA6odern Rome where folk are nice to Eadd9Yoko B A6 B
////// And that's it. It's a really nice simple song and one of Elbow's best, in my opinion. I think this tab is pretty accurate but there might be some mistakes in the timing of chords but it's not too difficult to figure out. Thanks. :)
