Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (EE AA DD GG BB EE)

Key: FmFm

Difficulty: Intermediate

FmFm                CmCm
Slow death to the nightingale
G7G7
His voice would always fail
DbDb
In tenement towers
           C7C7      C7C7
And on the rails

AbAb               Bbdim7
And all of these praising words
DbDb               Ddim7      C7C7     C7C7
They all seem so absurd, so absurd

FmFm               CmCm
Your poverty you declare
G7G7
The paint blisters on your stairs
DbDb                                   C7C7
The dampness in your bones is always there

AbAb               Bbdim7
And all of these praising words
DbDb                  Ddim7         C7C7    C7C7
Well, they all seem so absurd, so absurd

FmFm                CmCm
Ever thought that you would be
Ddim7
This washed up and lonely
DbDb                 C7C7
This washed up and lonely
FmFm
This lonely
