Civil Twilight by the Weakerthans
For the riff parts (where it says F E D C G etc.) its easiest to play these all on the
string and move down.
My conFfusion corner commuters are cursing the Bbcold away
As DFecember tries to dissemble the length of their Bbworking day
And they Fbite their mitts off to show me transfers, depoBbsit change
and I caFn't stop finding your face in their faces, all Bbrearranged
And aCngry like you C/C#never were;
and I Fease us back into traffic
BbDusk comes on and I wonder
FWhy I'm always remembering Bbyou, in civil twilight
F E D C (try running down the power chords starting on 13)
(repeat pattern for verse/chorus)
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!
This part of the day bewilders me
Streets slow down and ice over,
Dusk comes on and I struggle to stop,
To stop to stop thinking of you,in civil twilight
(run down the power chords) F5 E5 D5 C5 G5
G5Hey, every other hour I pA5ass that house,
Where you Bb5told me that you haC5d to go C/C#5
G5I wonder if the landlord has fAm5ixed the crack,
That I Bb5stared at, instead of stC5aring bacC/C#5k at
Fyou, My chance to say something sBbeemed so breif, but it wasn't.
FNow I know I had plenty of Bbtime
Between the suFnset and certified darkness
BbDusk comes on and I follow the Fexhaust from memory up to the Bbend
