  Fmaj7Fmaj7          C/GC/G
Remember your skinny young folkster
     Fmaj7Fmaj7           C/GC/G
With his guitar and his greasy cap
     Fmaj7Fmaj7         C/GC/G
Do you still want your ageing hipster
     Fmaj7Fmaj7         C/GC/G
With his records and his trilby hat?

    C majorC             E minorEm
Angel heart, it's time to let go
       FF           C majorC  C majorC
It's so much harder to live in this town
      C/BC/B      A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
Fact of it is I'm forty-two years old
     FF         G+G
And the venues are closing down
   C majorC            E minorEm
Folk rock's just beat up old names
      FF            C majorC
I've been holding out as long as I can
    C majorC     C/BC/B      A minorAm      Am/GAm/G
It's a new tech crowd, it's a property game
     FF          G+G
And I'd need to be a richer man


     FF               C majorC
Ah, but you have a precious voice from heaven
 FF      G+G    A minorAm  FF FF
A augmentedA once in a blue moon ecstasy
           C majorC     FF
You could sing the phone book
            C majorC     FF
If there was still a phone book
           C majorC
You could sing the phone book
FF         G+G     C majorC
It would sound beautiful to me

 C majorC | G+G : repeat


   C majorC           E minorEm
Nowadays when I get up and sing
      FF             C majorC  C majorC
They'll be talking like I'm not even there
     C/BC/B       A minorAm     Am/GAm/G
Now it appears I'm maybe not their thing
     FF                G+G
That's okay though it's not that I don't care
       C majorC            E minorEm
With all the rest of the semi-fixed abodes
      FF                C majorC   C majorC
With their colours and their songs and their soul
      C/BC/B    A minorAm     Am/GAm/G
I'd be long gone down the road
      FF           G+G
If not for you, girl and rent control

     FF               C majorC
Ah, but you have a precious voice from heaven
 FF      G+G    A minorAm  FF FF
A augmentedA once in a blue moon ecstasy
           C majorC     FF
You could sing the phone book
            C majorC     FF
If there was still a phone book
           C majorC
You could sing the phone book
FF         G+G     C majorC
It would sound beautiful to me

           C majorC     FF
You could sing the phone book
            C majorC     FF
If there was still a phone book
           C majorC
You could sing the phone book
FF         G+G     C majorC
It would sound beautiful to me

C majorC
                 G+G
The cool kids who make your town
         C majorC      C majorC
Gotta help them stick around
               G+G
You wanna keep your city hip
            C majorC
Or all the kids will desert the ship
