Intro:

[verse}

C
Slowly I moved through the house
                        G
And closed all the windows
C
Clouds formed above us
                                           G
As black as the teeth at the back of your mouth
Am                                   C
I will drape the sheet over my head
                     G
Like a Halloween ghost



 Em           D/F#        G            C
We will rise above the city like smoke
        Am       C      D              G
We will rise above the city like smoke


C
We scattered my grandfather's ashes
                         G
In a plant pot of fuchsias
 C
Earlier that day
                                      G
Surrounded by my cousins and my brothers
 Am              C
You wore a tulip
                           G
And I wore a great big rose


 Em           D/F#        G            C
We will rise above the city like smoke
        Am       C      D              G
We will rise above the city like smoke


C
Drunk now dancing
                         G
Out of time with the record
 C
You come flying
                      G
Faster than blood flows
 Am                                             C
With the weight of the world on your shoulders
         G
You float


 Em           D/F#        G            C
We will rise above the city like smoke
        Am       C      D              G
We will rise above the city like smoke


C
One fist shaped like an oven
                              G
One wrist like a chimney stack
C
The heavens open
                                      G
Contrary to rumours the heavens are black
 Am                              C
And we find ourselves responding
                             G
Like it's all a great big joke



 Em           D/F#        G            C
We will rise above the city like smoke
        Am       C      D              G
We will rise above the city like smoke


 C
My dad's on the telephone
                        G
And his voice is trembling
 C
He has a hard time letting go
                             G
He has a hard time remembering
Am                          C
I can understand him clearly
                                      G
Though there's something in his throat
