Chords with lyrics

[Intro] G minorGm Eb MajorEb C majorC D MajorD

     G minorGm
Several hundred years before, a gambler and a monk embarked
   Eb MajorEb
On a long trek through the endless prairies of the North;
   C majorC
They had a fierce debate about God and chance and fate,
     D MajorD
And to resolve it agreed a game of cards indeed be played.

   G minorGm
The game went on all day, and through the next and next they played,
   Eb MajorEb
And around them a shelter was built to shield the rain,
      C majorC
A augmentedA street around the shelter formed, then a church, a house, a bar,
   G minorGm       D MajorD      G minorGm D MajorD    G minorGm
And that is how the city of New Albion was born.
G minorGm       D MajorD      G minorGm D MajorD    G minorGm
That is how the city of New Albion was born.

[Interlude] G minorGm Eb MajorEb C majorC D MajorD

   G minorGm
New Albion today, With bustling streets, machines, cafes
    Eb MajorEb
And the nice, the wise, the eccentric and insane
   C majorC
The Mafia?s run by a red haired dwarf with just one eye
    D MajorD
Whose affairs he decides with a pair of silver dice

      G minorGm
Over the Zeppelin Union Pilots, a castrati boss presides
    Eb MajorEb
And we hear his song each afternoon as he flies by
     C majorC
There?s prisons made of lead, and gargoyles of iron shreds
   G minorGm      D MajorD       G minorGm   D MajorD   G minorGm
And Annabelle McAlistair who?s raising up the dead
 G minorGm      D MajorD       G minorGm   D MajorD   G minorGm
Annabelle McAlistair who?s raising up the dead

[Interlude] G minorGm Eb MajorEb C majorC D MajorD


   G minorGm
The Lodge on Ashland Street is where the Alchemists Guild meets
    Eb MajorEb
And to join you have to craft a glass pearl from a young girl?s dream
  C majorC
A augmentedA group of thieves they heard, broke in the lodge to steal the pearls
      D MajorD
But in the morning they were found there sitting staring unperturbed

   G minorGm
The twilight fog they say, an aphrodisiac contains
     Eb MajorEb
Nonsense, but yet they copulate in doorways anyway
     C majorC
There?s inventors and inbred in upper class it?s been said
   G minorGm      D MajorD       G minorGm   D MajorD   G minorGm
And Annabelle McAlistair who?s raising up the dead.
 G minorGm      D MajorD       G minorGm   D MajorD   G minorGm
Annabelle McAlistair who?s raising up the dead.
 G minorGm      D MajorD     G minorGm    D MajorD   G minorGm
Clever little Annabella with her clever head.
   G minorGm      D MajorD       G minorGm   D MajorD   G minorGm
