Chords with lyrics

Ani DiFranco - Everest

This is intended to be a simplified version, not how Ani actually plays it. To get closer to
the album version, vary the main chord sequence by adding and removing the upper F#F# to get
Gmaj7Gmaj7 (320002), G6G6 (320020), A major 6A6 (x02222) and Asus4Asus4 (x02230).

Verse 1:

D MajorD  G+G             A augmentedA
   From the depth of the Pacific to the height of Everest
D MajorD  G+G            A augmentedA
   Still the world is smoother than a shiny ball bearing
D MajorD  G+G            A augmentedA
   So I take a few steps back and put on a wider lens
D MajorD       G+G      A augmentedA
   And it changes your skin and your sex and what you’re wearing

Bridge 1:

  A7A7     A7sus4A7sus4      A7A7   Esus2Esus2 E minor 7Em7       E minorEm
And distance shows your silhouette to be     a lot like mine
    A7A7   A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7        Esus2Esus2 E minor 7Em7
Like a sphere is a sphere and all of us here
        E minorEm      A7A7
Have been here all the time,  yeah we’ve been here all the time

Verse 2:

D MajorD  G+G           A augmentedA
   You brought me to church, cinder blocks, fluorescent light
D MajorD         G+G        A augmentedA
   Yeah, you brought me to church at seven o’clock on Sunday night
D MajorD       G+G    A augmentedA
   And the band was rockin’ and the floors were scrubbed clean
  A7A7     A7sus4A7sus4 A7A7
And everybody ha - d a tambourine

D MajorD  G+G  A augmentedA  A augmentedA

Verse 3:

D MajorD  G+G           A augmentedA
   So I took a deep breath and became the white girl with the hair
D MajorD       G+G      A augmentedA
   And you sat right beside me while everybody stared
D MajorD  G+G            A augmentedA
   And through the open window I think that the singing went out(on)side
D MajorD      G+G      A augmentedA
   And floated up to tell all the stars not to hide
D MajorD         G+G        A augmentedA
   Cause by the time church let out the sky was much clearer
D MajorD       G+G      A augmentedA        A7A7     A7sus4A7sus4   A7A7
   And the moon was so beautiful that the ocean held up a mirror


Bridge 2:

  A7A7             Esus2Esus2  E minor 7Em7  E minorEm
And as we walked home we spoke slowly
A7A7   A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7      Esus2Esus2  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm
Yeah we spoke slow and we spoke lowly
      A augmentedA      G+G     B minorBm     A augmentedA
Like it was taking more time than usual to choose
A augmentedA        G+G      B minorBm        A augmentedA
  The words to go with your squeaky sandal shoes
   A7A7   A7sus4A7sus4  A7A7
Like time is not a thing that’s ours to lose
