Twenty Seven Strangers by Villagers

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 Chord diagramDm6Dm6 and G/Ab. He plays them like this:

    Chord diagramAbAb
e |----1---------x---|
b |----0---------x---|
g |----2---------4---|
Chord diagramD MajorD |----0---------5---|
Chord diagramA augmentedA |----x---------5---|
Chord diagramG+G |----x---------4---|

You can play the Chord diagramAbAb with the top two strings open and it sounds really nice.
That's how Connor does it.

Intro/Chorus
Chord diagramC majorC
Chord diagramG+G

Verse
Chord diagramC majorC
The bus was late
Chord diagramC majorC
And forced us all to congregate
Chord diagramC majorC
Twenty-seven strangers
    Chord diagramG+G
Made to stand and wait

Chord diagramC majorC
The time went by
Chord diagramC majorC
The sun went down, a baby cried
Chord diagramG+G
I just stood in line


This is where it changes each verse, leading into the chorus bit with the high vocals


Chord diagramA minorAm
But there is no cue
Chord diagramFF
No stage hand saying what to do
Chord diagramG+G
And you are me
Chord diagramAbAb
And I am you


Chorus
Chord diagramC majorC
Chord diagramG+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
