"A Coral Room"
By Kate Bush
From "Aerial" (2005)
Perhaps the saddest, most poetic song she has ever written. (Stunning (and
difficult) chord progressions- as goes for the rest of the album's songs)
Intro: C#m7 A6 F#m11 B/D# C#m Badd9
There's a city, C#m A A6 F#m11 B/D#
draped in net F#m11 B/D#

C#And in the half light, B Badd9 A
in the half light Am7
It looks like every tower C#m7 A A6 F#m11 B/D#

My mothC#m7er F#m7 F#m11 B/D#
