Intro:
G+G
[verse}
C majorC
Slowly I moved through the house
G+G
And closed all the windows
C majorC
Clouds formed above us
G+G
As black as the teeth at the back of your mouth
A minorAm C majorC
I will drape the sheet over my head
G+G
Like a Halloween ghost
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G C majorC
We will rise above the city like smoke
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
We will rise above the city like smoke
C majorC
We scattered my grandfather's ashes
G+G
In a plant pot of fuchsias
C majorC
Earlier that day
G+G
Surrounded by my cousins and my brothers
A minorAm C majorC
You wore a tulip
G+G
And I wore a great big rose
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G C majorC
We will rise above the city like smoke
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
We will rise above the city like smoke
C majorC
Drunk now dancing
G+G
Out of time with the record
C majorC
You come flying
G+G
Faster than blood flows
A minorAm C majorC
With the weight of the world on your shoulders
G+G
You float
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G C majorC
We will rise above the city like smoke
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
We will rise above the city like smoke
C majorC
One fist shaped like an oven
G+G
One wrist like a chimney stack
C majorC
The heavens open
G+G
Contrary to rumours the heavens are black
A minorAm C majorC
And we find ourselves responding
G+G
Like it's all a great big joke
E minorEm D/F#D/F# G+G C majorC
We will rise above the city like smoke
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
We will rise above the city like smoke
C majorC
My dad's on the telephone
G+G
And his voice is trembling
C majorC
He has a hard time letting go
G+G
He has a hard time remembering
A minorAm C majorC
I can understand him clearly
G+G
Though there's something in his throat
