Chords with lyrics
Not a correction, but addition to ElaElaElano's tab.
Got it from watching the Live on KEXP version.
Only 2 unusual chords are Dm6Dm6 and G/Ab. He plays them like this:
AbAb
e |----1---------x---|
b |----0---------x---|
g |----2---------4---|
D MajorD |----0---------5---|
A augmentedA |----x---------5---|
G+G |----x---------4---|
You can play the AbAb with the top two strings open and it sounds really nice.
That's how Connor does it.
Intro/Chorus
C majorC
G+G
Verse
C majorC
The bus was late
C majorC
And forced us all to congregate
C majorC
Twenty-seven strangers
G+G
Made to stand and wait
C majorC
The time went by
C majorC
The sun went down, a baby cried
G+G
I just stood in line
This is where it changes each verse, leading into the chorus bit with the high vocals
A minorAm
But there is no cue
FF
No stage hand saying what to do
G+G
And you are me
AbAb
And I am you
Chorus
C majorC
G+G
And repeat :)
The bus it came
And everybody loaded in
Twenty-seven strangers
In a moving can
The fluorescent light
Doubled everyone inside
The baby's face reflected
In the shopfronts in the sky
But faces change
And rules they all get rearranged
And photographs
All fade away
The bus broke down
At the graveyard on the edge of town
Twenty-seven strangers
Separate without a sound
So I walked home
Just feeling nothing on my own
Noticing that tree of yours
I've been watching it grow
So that's why I'm late
My dearest one what can I say
And tomorrow it could be the same
When I do it all again
