Grace Cathedral Hill chords by The Decemberists

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
G+G
Grace Cathedral hill
  E minorEm
all wrapped in bones of a setting sun,
  C majorC
all dust and stone and moribund.
    D MajorD
I paid twenty-five cents to light
 D7D7
a little white candle
G+G
for a New Year's Day.
 E minorEm
I sat and watched it burn away
   C majorC
then turned and weaved through the slow decay.
    D MajorD
We were both a little hungry
   D7D7
so we went to get a hotdog.
G+G
Down the Hyde St. Pier,
  E minorEm
the light was slight and disappeared.
  C majorC
The air, it stunk of fish and beer
      D MajorD
We heard a tuba and a trumpet
     D7D7
play the National Anthem.

[Chorus]
C majorC          G+G    E minorEm  C majorC
And the world may be long, for, you,
         G+G   E minorEm C majorC
but he'll never belong, to, you.
         C minorCm
But on a motorbike,
             D MajorD         D7D7
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight,
        C majorC        D MajorD
are you feeling better now? .......
        G+G         E minorEm
Are you feeling beeeettttter..nooooww.
        C majorC        C minorCm
Are you feeling better now?


[Verse 2]
G+G
Some way to greet the year:
  E minorEm
your eyes all bright and, brimmed with tears.
  C majorC
The pilgrims, pills and tourists here
     D MajorD         D7D7
all sing "Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
G+G
I'm sweet on a green-eyed girl,
  E minorEm
all fiery Irish clip and curl,
  C majorC
all brine and piss and vinegar.
    D MajorD
I paid twenty-five vents to light
 D7D7
a little white candle.

[Chorus]
C majorC          G+G    E minorEm  C majorC
And the world may be long, for, you,
         G+G   E minorEm C majorC
but he'll never belong, to, you.
         C minorCm
But on a motorbike,
             D MajorD         D7D7
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight,
        C majorC        D MajorD
are you feeling better now? .......
        G+G         E minorEm
Are you feeling beeeettttter..nooooww.
        C majorC        C minorCm
Are you feeling better now?
