Everest chords by Ani Difranco

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# to get
Gmaj7 (320002), G6 (320020), A6 (x02222) and Asus4 (x02230).


Intro:

D  G  A  A
D  G  A  A
D  G  A  A
D  G  A  A


Verse 1:

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


Bridge 1:

  A7     A7sus4      A7   Esus2 Em7       Em
And distance shows your silhouette to be     a lot like mine
    A7   A7sus4  A7        Esus2 Em7
Like a sphere is a sphere and all of us here
        Em      A7
Have been here all the time,  yeah we’ve been here all the time

D  G  A  A
D  G  A  A


Verse 2:

D  G           A
   You brought me to church, cinder blocks, fluorescent light
D         G        A
   Yeah, you brought me to church at seven o’clock on Sunday night
D       G    A
   And the band was rockin’ and the floors were scrubbed clean
  A7     A7sus4 A7
And everybody ha - d a tambourine

D  G  A  A


Verse 3:

D  G           A
   So I took a deep breath and became the white girl with the hair
D       G      A
   And you sat right beside me while everybody stared
D  G            A
   And through the open window I think that the singing went out(on)side
D      G      A
   And floated up to tell all the stars not to hide
D         G        A
   Cause by the time church let out the sky was much clearer
D       G      A        A7     A7sus4   A7
   And the moon was so beautiful that the ocean held up a mirror


Bridge 2:

  A7             Esus2  Em7  Em
And as we walked home we spoke slowly
A7   A7sus4  A7      Esus2  Em7 Em
Yeah we spoke slow and we spoke lowly
      A      G     Bm     A
Like it was taking more time than usual to choose
A        G      Bm        A
  The words to go with your squeaky sandal shoes
   A7   A7sus4  A7
Like time is not a thing that’s ours to lose
