Grace Cathedral Hill chords by The Decemberists

[Verse 1]
G
Grace Cathedral hill
  Em
all wrapped in bones of a setting sun,
  C
all dust and stone and moribund.
    D
I paid twenty-five cents to light
 D7
a little white candle
G
for a New Year's Day.
 Em
I sat and watched it burn away
   C
then turned and weaved through the slow decay.
    D
We were both a little hungry
   D7
so we went to get a hotdog.
G

Down the Hyde St. Pier,
  Em
the light was slight and disappeared.
  C
The air, it stunk of fish and beer
      D
We heard a tuba and a trumpet
     D7
play the National Anthem.


[Chorus]
C          G    Em  C
And the world may be long, for, you,
         G   Em C
but he'll never belong, to, you.
         Cm
But on a motorbike,
             D         D7
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight,
        C        D
are you feeling better now? .......
        G         Em
Are you feeling beeeettttter..nooooww.
        C        Cm
Are you feeling better now?


[Verse 2]
G
Some way to greet the year:
  Em
your eyes all bright and, brimmed with tears.
  C
The pilgrims, pills and tourists here
     D         D7
all sing "Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
G
I'm sweet on a green-eyed girl,
  Em
all fiery Irish clip and curl,
  C
all brine and piss and vinegar.
    D
I paid twenty-five vents to light
 D7
a little white candle.


[Chorus]
C          G    Em  C
And the world may be long, for, you,
         G   Em C
but he'll never belong, to, you.
         Cm
But on a motorbike,
             D         D7
when all the city lights blind your eyes tonight,
        C        D
are you feeling better now? .......
        G         Em
Are you feeling beeeettttter..nooooww.
        C        Cm
Are you feeling better now?
