Chords with lyrics
so I had to tab it. Good job to whoever figured out these lyrics. These are the chords I refer to in the C7C7 e|--3----2-----0---------0----0----0-----1------0----------------------------| BB|--0----0-----0----3----1----1----1-----0------1----------------------------| G+G|--0----0-----0----2----0----0----2-----0------3----------------------------| D MajorD|--0----0-----2----0----2---------2-----0------2----------------------------| A augmentedA|--2----------2---------3----2----0-----2------3----------------------------| E MajorE|--3----2-----0-------------------------3-----------------------------------| The verse is just a simple chord progression: *Note: The chords are pretty much above the exact syllables of each lyric. Verse 1: D MajorD Dead in the water A minorAm It's not a paid vacation C majorC The sons and daughters of city officials A minorAm Attend demonstrations D MajorD It's hardly a sink or swim A minorAm When all is well if the ticket sells Break 1: A minorAm Verse 2: D MajorD Out with a wimper A minorAm It's not a blaze of glory E minorEm You look down from your temple A minorAm As people endeavor to make it a story D MajorD And chisel a marble word A minorAm But all is lost if it's never heard Break 2: G7G7 Chorus: C majorC But I've got someone to make reports D MajorD That tell me how my money's spent C majorC To book my stays and draw my blinds D MajorD So I can't see what's really there D MajorD And all I need's a great big congratulations A minorAm
Just repeat for the rest of the song: Verse 3: I'll keep your dreams You pay attention for me As strange as it seems I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me The ground may be moving fast But I tied my boots to a broken mast Break 1 Verse 4: The difference is clear You throw it in your cauldron Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins You start with a simple stock of all the waste And salt to taste Break 2 Chorus 2: But damn my luck and damn these friends That keep on combing back their smiles I save my grace with half-assed guilt And lay down the quilt upon the lawn Spread my arms and soak up congratulations Word.
